Are these genuine Milwaukee batteries sold by a rouge reseller? Supposedly Amazon is not an authorized Milwaukee reseller, but I'm tempted to buy and compare to the current ones I have from Home Depot.

There are non-genuine batteries sold on Amazon, but the ones from this link has been for real Milwaukee batteries (if you dont get them, no worry return with Amazon). For some, the issue will be they are being sold from a non-authorized retailer, doesn't matter if it is Amazon selling or a 3rd party like these are. So the warranty starts from the manufacturing date versus the sell by date (if bought authorized).
Other than if you have older, heavy used batteries, they will be the same as you currently have.

They're genuine Milwaukee. I just bought one of their weedeaters from HD. It came with an 8.0, and the two I ordered are identical to it. I avoid off-brand like the plague.

These are an even better deal than the 8 and the 12 if you're going for pure $/ah

If you guys don't need it immediately I would try holding off for the $10/ah package deals where you can get the battery and tool for rock bottom pricing. Seeing HD do more Milwaukee special buys of the day which may be a good sign...
Speaking of, I feel like I've missed the last one or two special buys of the day. I don't check every day and I always figured someone would post it up here when it came along but I think our deals thread has missed a few recently. Am I wrong?

I have been falling asleep at the wheel. I might be in the group that is tapering their Milwaukee tool buying after buying most of the items on the want list. Still waiting for a you **** deal on a mower.

Unfortunately most SBotD don't separate the tool from battery for those promotions.
On clearance at select HDs for $840. A bit more than I got mine for last fall.

Acme has the mower with a free string trimmer or blower (which implies 15-20% off the mower), but am still holding out for a better deal.

I've never had good luck getting in on clearance deals for tools I actually want. I think I've scored 1 in the last 4 years lol

I've seen a few mowers locally for $500 bare tool on Facebook Marketplace. I think people are buying the kits and parting them out.
I don't do Facebook for a variety of reasons, but isn't GJ a form of social media?
I'm careful with CL. Definitely won't buy anything new there. Typically only buy used lawn equipment, and have a gamut of questions that I ask to ascertain legitimacy. Not foolproof, of course...

I skipped all the social media except linkedin until I took my current position three years ago. There are a couple industry specific facebook groups in my area I was instructed I need to engage with, so I created a work only login that is the name of my employer and my initials. I don’t engage any farther than those specific groups or marketplace for the classifieds. The account uses my work phone and work email. I’ve found some decent Milwaukee deals on marketplace.

Do you see the irony in this post
GJ is a forum, I've never counted forums as part of social media. I can see where people would consider forums part of social media but I think there are some very clear distinctions between the two.
HD special buy has a tiny selection of Milwaukee stuff today, nothing interesting that I could see.

Nearly every Milwaukee tool I've purchased (and that's a lot) has been from Home Depot Special Deals of the Day. With the exception of some really specialized things (maybe the nibbler?) everything eventually comes up on there at a pretty good discount.
Just have to play the waiting game.
Need some help deciding on this deal, please.
Home Depot has the M12 starter kit with a 5.0 HO and a 2.5 HO and a charger for 249 get a free tool. With a right angle die grinder the price for the batteries comes out to about $133 if returning the die grinder. Decent or should I wait for something elde?
Thanks

Honestly it's a great deal on the M12 right angle die grinder. It's $116.52 after returning the batteries. If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this. I paid $135.

Check out Safety Source supply if you are looking for batteries. I've ordered batteries from here with no issues. Seems to be about the cheapest I can find and they seem to always be this price. https://safetysourcesupply.com/
$10/Ah is the gold standard for a good deal on Milwaukee batteries and the HO batteries have usually been a bit more than that, so I'd say given this is pricing from a retail outlet, $39 and $79 is really pretty good.

Yep, looks like Amazon has come down since I ordered. Always best to cross shop though.

this seems like a decent deal on the m18 rover flood light - $79
*PROMO* Milwaukee 2366-20 M18™ ROVER™ Dual Power Flood Light (Tool Only)
The M18™ ROVER™ Dual Power Flood Light provides you with 4,000 lumens of TRUEVIEW™ High Definition Output designed to fill large areas with light. The ROVER™ floodlight features three modes and up to 12 hours of run-time when paired with an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Battery Pack (not included.)...

Gents, thank you for the quick replies last week. I went ahead and ordered a pair of 8.0 batteries with the prepurchase reassurance I was looking for. I own a pair of 8.0s that I use in the dual battery blower and string trimmer I purchased on one of the Home Depot deals in the spring. Having 4 8.0s gives me a balanced set to use with my 2845-20 Carry-on 3600W/1800W Power Supply. Thanks again!

San Ramon, CA HD - Mower blades for $6... guessing they aren't selling as many mowers as they want to.
Also got some vacuum attachments that are usually $20 for $15, not as a great of a deal.

The blades were originally on a cardboard shipper for a spring/summer display. If those items are not regularly stocked in store, they always get clearanced out after the display leaves.
Has nothing to do with the sales of the mower, though at its price I'd likely concur it's slower moving

Decent deal on the grinder with 2x6.0s at $229.
Also installation tool with 2 batteries and 3/8 ratchet @ 179 seems like a good deal.
Air tips also are going on sale for $7.50 each which is the cheapest I have seen. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...t-Kit-2-Piece-49-90-2035-49-90-2023/320174158

If you are military, did they figure the 10% off from the original $35? I bought at $19 earlier, and debating another set.
In any case, good deal, and about right for these kind of accessories
