I’m in AZ for Christmas, so I was trying to get it done before midnight MST, but it was after midnight EST. I tried changing the delivery zip code to Tucson, but it was likely clocked by my home zip code in MA. Oh well, I’ll keep looking.It was a part of deal of the day and expired at midnight, sorry @BroncoAZ
I had posted the same deal at $299 around Black Friday, then malpracticed and did not score.
Scored this time!
Don't blame the tripI’m in AZ for Christmas, so I was trying to get it done before midnight MST, but it was after midnight EST. I tried changing the delivery zip code to Tucson, but it was likely clocked by my home zip code in MA. Oh well, I’ll keep looking.
I would’ve been 1am EST at the time.Don't blame the trip, as it doesn't matter where you are at. *Most* deal changes occur at 3am EST, and their is no trucking that
slickdeals apparently is good, but to be honest my #1 resource is this thread and sometimes a lot of patience.Apologies if this is buried in this 200 page thread, but does anyone know of a place to go to find out where certain promos apply? Right now, Milwaukee is doing a free battery promo with certain bare tools.........but which tools vary by store. Home Depot has certain tools, Northern Tool has others. Ordered an M12 caulk gun from Northern, supposed to arrive in 3-5 days. Kept not showing, when I contacted them, they indicated it was on back order. Tried to use Home Depot's price match. In store, the associate told me they only price match Lowes (not true), but online, they indicated that they match prices, but they don't match promos. So now I'm stuck waiting another 3 weeks unless I can find a place to get the same deal.

Checkout Clark's Tools ~$125 for the M12 caulk gun, https://clarkstool.com/products/milwaukee-2441-20-m18™-cordless-10oz-caulk-and-adhesive-gun-tool-only?_pos=1&_sid=ac0370c1c&_ss=r
Differing stores are going to have different promos. Think right now they have a buy $500, get $150 off at Napa. Wouldn't be surprised if this is prevalent at a bunch of other stores each with a slightly different tool mix.
Depending on who you speak to at Home Depot your mileage may vary. I might give that another go if the deal was too good to pass up. This being said I try to avoid human contact if at all possible![]()
Thank you for this, Rusty67! I bought the M12 stick pump bare tool and the M12 1-gallon sprayer bare tool.

Unfortunately it only applied to specific resellers but here is the link for everything Milwaukee that you can get for 20% off right now:

Enhance the beauty and strength of your floor by using Milwaukee M LithiumIon Brushless Cordless Right Angle and Straight Die Grinder Kit finish.www.homedepot.com
m12 straight and right angle die grinders. special buy for $359, and it's part of the deal that expires on 1/29 where you get a free battery with certain bare tool(s). so $359 for both tools (maybe $40 off there?) plus a free 2.5Ah battery ($79).
i honestly don't watch the deals much at all. is that a decent deal?
i ended up buying it because i wanted itbut also i have a pressing, immediate need for a dremel-type tool that doesn't **** ***. i need to do some modding of a server chassis including grinding off metal motherboard standoffs that are in the wrong spots, making cutouts in 3mm steel sheet, etc. so i decided to try the straight grinder for that.
i grabbed their 1/8" collet tool if i ever need to use dremel style tools on it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-1-8-in-Collet-Accessory-48-66-2486/313420816
also grabbed a 1/4" cutoff arbor, some discs, and some carbide burrs

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw w/Duel Battery Blower & (2) 6.0Ah Batteries 2732-20-2824-20-48-11-1862 - The Home Depot
Designed for the carpenter, remodeler and general contractor, the M18 FUEL™ 7-1/4” Circular Saw from Milwaukee® delivers the power of a 15A corded saw, cuts faster than a 15A corded saw and gives userswww.homedepot.com
Is that a good deal? Are 5.0 batteries enough for the blower and larger saw?
Mike
Thanks guys.
Yes, I caught my mistake and edited the post shortly after posting.
I rarely use a circular saw, but hate the cord.
10 minutes with the blower would be just about enough to clear my tractor and mower deck. I assume you mean 10 minutes per battery, LOL?
Is this a smoking deal?
Mike
I can't tell with he LOL if you were laughing that it's a 36v tool, and needs 2 batteries.
It will be somewhere in the 10-15 min range for both batteries, but it has tons of power. More than my Ego packback that I ran side by side this fall, thst I always felt was a good lower.
No for the pro account, just earn rewards.
Hey Mike, one thing to consider on that circ saw is that it is a blade right, sidewinder saw. I don't mind sidewinders but I don't like blade right saws. My 6.5" is a blade left sidewinder and my 7 1/4" is a hypoid blade left saw. If you care about which side the blade is on, make sure this one is ok before you snap it up.
As far as it being a good deal, the batteries total out at 120 dollars if you use the $10/AH calculation which means the 2 tools cost you 330 together or 165/tool. Not sure if that helps you with the is this a good deal or not math question?
No, 10 minutes total. Maybe 20 minutes on low. You might not need high all the time. The blower is high draw, like a vacuum.10 minutes with the blower would be just about enough to clear my tractor and mower deck. I assume you mean 10 minutes per battery, LOL?
The blower is well made but it is only good for a quick 10 minute at most ******** on high…….. I have one and like it for blowing off the deck or the garage floor.The dual battery blower might run for 10 minutes on high with 6ah batteries. Is that long enough for your needs?
seems like a good deal to me if you need some money spending encouragementThanks. I don't use circular saws enough to have a preference.
I don't really "need" either of these, and do use the $10/AH guide myself, but was wondering if this price is a historically good price (at least in recent history).
Mike
Then the battery one will be convenient for small jobs. No cord, no backpack. But like you wrote, it is not a need. I buy lots of tools for convenience rather than necessity.I have a large Echo (gas) backpack blower for the big jobs. I also have a couple of corded handheld blowers.
I bought one of the Milwaukee blowers instead of a broom to blow all the tree stuff off of our deck... I don't need to move any chairs or tables like I do w/ a broom, and the stuff all goes shooting under the railing. While I wait for the weather to clear so my shop slab will go in, the blower also helps remove tree debris from sitting on the insulating foam under all the rebar. I also plan on using it to clear the gutters...
Nope; the 120 mph version seems quite adequate. It does like batteries, but I can make it all the way around the house easily enough on one battery.Do you have the 2-battery version?
Mike
We are a match! I have the exact same setup. My RedMax kills the Milwaukee head to head but the Milwaukee is very convenient for quick jobs.The blower is well made but it is only good for a quick 10 minute at most ******** on high…….. I have one and like it for blowing off the deck or the garage floor.
I have a Red Max 8500 backpack for yard work.
