I didn’t pay much more for the new version with some batteries on a Home Depot special buy of the day this winter. Both are good sanders, but the new version is more productive.

It was one of the most needed Fuel upgrades in their lineup. They did raise the price $30 on the Fuel sander to $229 a couple months back, so will factor in a bit to current deals.

I’ve been looking for a good opportunity to get some batteries and a charger from Milwaukee so I can get away from ridgid. Looks like I found it. Order placed

Thanks. I picked up the ratchet as a spareso my sons and I can do engine bay tear downs quicker. Also picked up the drywall rotary tool.

Thanks!
I keep forgetting about these guys. They're local, so I don't have to pay shipping!
If you stop in, see if they can sell a pair of 1850s (M18 5.0) as a two pack, good for a free tool

Probably won't fly, but worth asking.
There is also at least one rebate still active for a free tool when you buy qualifying batteries.
Rebates are here: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/E-Rebates
And the active one I used is here: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/E-Rebates/Auto/2025/Q3/2025-Q3-M12-BYOK
What retailer did you use to get that Automotive rebate?
I've only succeeded in using the Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical Distributor rebates with Clark's purchases..
I just had no choice to place another large order with Grainger. I’m bummed they aren’t on the list.
Get this ****, when discussing our discount rate last week for a mid five figure order of a bunch of stuff for a couple of large construction projects, my inside sales guy at Grainger tells me Milwaukee makes one off special batteries to their specifications.
I almost busted out laughing
Whatever dude, just cut me a smoking deal and it’s one and done. I’m too busy to shop it all.

Was just going to mention that Milwaukee has declined my rebate requests when selecting Automotive and uploading the Clark's order confirmation. They approve the Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical Distributor ones no problem.
It would be nice to see a list of the authorized online retailers / categories they fall into.
It's not quite working for me, they still seem to want to charge me for the batteries:

Right! I posted this in the Home Depot thread:
I bought the batteries because of the sale price, and I needed them. Submitted the rebate as a "bonus". I'm still waiting for a response on the rebate.
Interesting to note that when submitting it this time, I was not prompted to select the seller from a drop-down list as has happened in the past when submitting Milwaukee rebates. Perhaps Pinne is correct and this will be denied, will let you all know.
The Automotive rebates don't make you select the retailer from the drop down but the Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical do, if I remember correctly.
That said, I just checked the rebate section this morning and they have added those M12 rebates to the Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical section. So you may have some luck just re-submitting there if you get denied.
Sorry, I should have specified this is a hack. Just order the batteries from a different store, then either don’t pick them up or cancel that part of the order to get the “hacked” price on the impact.It's not quite working for me, they still seem to want to charge me for the batteries:
This is also a nice deal if you need the free tool or 5.0 batteries. I’ve wanted the M12 stick pump for a while and can always use more high end batteries. I’ll sell off the oscillating tool as I already have one.

It's not.
Two different deals for both.
Buy the stubby (1/2 or 3/8) with two (imo useless) 3.0 batteries for $169
Or buy either bare tool for $199 with free gift of two batteries, return the batteries, net price $121

That deal sold out in a hurry. Might have been an error where they accidentally combined two deals.This is also a nice deal if you need the free tool or 5.0 batteries.

So, the 169 deal has the batteries under the same SKU as the Impact, so that you can't return them??
Yes, that appears to be the case
My Automotive rebate - with a purchase from Clarks - was approved today.
Mine too, though I submitted under plumbing. Got 2 high output batteries for $120 plus shipping, and a free M12 transfer pump from Milwaukee. Not a bad day at all!

What is a good price for a two pack of the M12 HO 5.0 Ah batteries? They are 249 at HD but I see them for 199 at Walmart from a 3rd party seller. Not sure if the Walmart ones are legit.
Great deal! That’s probably easier than the oscillating tool/5.0 batteries/pump I ordered from Home Depot yesterday. I’ll need to sell the oscillating tool for $65 to match it.
You can buy a pair from Clark’s Tools for $135 shipped then collect a free tool from Milwaukee.

Thank you! Expensive day for me.you need to set up an account with them or shoppay to see the $60 per battery and $15 shipping price.
Thankfully the Milwaukee rebate team doesn't seem to be nit-picky.
I emailed them awhile back about Automotive rebates and Clark's and they told me to use Plumbing/etc not Automotive.
Well I just used one Clark's receipt for 2 Plumbing rebates (bought 4 batteries) and for 1 Automotive rebate that (probably in error) wasn't also under Plumbing.
I wouldn't have been too upset if they denied the Automotive one (free cheapo batteries for buying a tool I was getting anyway).
But no. All three rebates approved with the hour.
p.s. I've also used Automotive for Waysource
Works great as a human nail trimmer where you can't use regular clippers.
That looked painful!

Did you submit all on a single rebate form? Asking because the rebate terms say "Only one redemption per transaction", but (per your comment about them not being nit-picky) maybe that's not enforcedThankfully the Milwaukee rebate team doesn't seem to be nit-picky.
