Maybe 2 months back, but yes. And if you selected the right HD location, you got $100 off 3 of them, maybe that was a little farther back. In any case, I wouldn't value it more than $99.

Correct, I’m looking for a deal on the new model. Thanks
It's one of the "free tool" options on the HD sales right now. Buy the battery pack for $200, get the blower for free, return the battery pack... end up with the blower for about $90.
Battery starter kit $199 --> $110.62
Blower $159 --> $88.38

Looks like most of the M12 stuff is the older models and average prices, but there’s a few good M18 Fuel combos if you were already looking to pick up the newer impact driver and a few batteries and maybe other tools.

I'd say the backpack vac with the 8.0 is a decent deal as well as the grease gun kit. The rest are kinda so/so. I want the backpack vac but really have no use for it. I just really like the idea of it but in actuality I have no practical use for it since my house is so small.
I like the 2 gallon wet/dry vac a lot, it’s pretty handy as a Dustbuster and for small projects. Way easier to get out for small stuff compared to my 14 gallon ridgid corded.

Yep, I've got one and use it all the time for around the house clean up. The little guy is GREAT for small jobs and projects.
CPO Outlets has 11% off the 3" M12 chainsaw, tool only. First time I've seen any deal on this thing at all:
https://www.cpooutlets.com/milwauke...less-pruning-saw--tool-only-/miln2527-20.html
$159 in cart, free shipping. Basically 20 bucks off.

Good find. Anyone have any feedback/experience with this saw? I’m wondering how well it does with hardwoods and how long it runs on an M12 battery.

They feel great in the hand. Solid heavy feel but the weakness is not holding an edge for long. Good for prying things but useless when cutting in my opinion.

What is up with the Milwaukee 8 1/4” table saw? I have been looking at if for a while and was going to pull the trigger a couple days ago but it is out of stock everywhere!!!! They only making 5 a day or what?

I agree, I actually paid full retail of $299 shortly after it came out because I really needed it for a specific application and it was just too new to be eligible for any deals or promos for awhile. So, while I say I "never" pay full retail for Milwaukee stuff that's not always true.
Otherwise online right now you can get the 2131 tower light and an 8.0 for $199. It's inexplicably $229 in stores, but that way you can pro-rate. If you truly WANT the light and the batt, it's a solid deal. This deal has probably been mentioned earlier in the thread - apologies if so, I haven't been tracking the thread closely (obviously)

In comparing the packout vac to the backpack, I love the size of the packout and it's -almost- as powerful as the backpack. Regardless, this packout will get used ALOT more due to it's formfactor.....

Thanks for that. I just picked up both in the last week unexpectedly. Got the PO vac for $160, and the Backpack for $150.
I really don't have a use for the backpack style, and if it isn't that much more powerful, it probably will get sold away (help pay for the PO one). Would probably add casters to the backpack as others have done if I do keep it.
Looks like Ohio Power Tools BF deal is the 1/4" socket set for $60

Where did you get the Backpack for $150? Or was it used? We just ordered the backpack with the free battery for $269. I think that’s the cheapest I have ever seen.

Local pallet reseller, but box was pristine, and nothing had ever been removed. On top of that, he wants the M12 Fuel kit which I have a stack of. So I'll get my $150 back
Been wondering the same thing. I even asked the Milwaukee rep at HD and he had no answer.

I got my backpack vac for $199 a few months ago and I love it, but I think I'd love it even more if it had casters - any links to where you've seen others adding casters? Thanks!
I bought this. Been looking at an oscillating tool for a while but wanted Fuel and not huge. I’m going to be doing some home renovations in the spring and it should come in handy.

I feel like a sinner...theres some Ryobi deals today for one-off projects that I could use. I can get like 3-4 tools and 2 batteries for the price of one of Milwaukee tools Id "like" to get for the projects...
I have some Ryobi stuff. It isn't bad at all, especially these days. Compared to my Milwaukee stuff it is junk. There are some Ryobi tools that are totally worth it. The glue gun is one of them, it is great. Some Milwaukee stuff is way overpriced so buying somethin else for those makes a lot of sense (the heat gun comes to mind). My Ryobi impact driver is good but my Milwaukee is so much better that I barely ever pick up my green one anymore.
Bottom line, buy the best tool you reasonably can afford.

Thanks. Im looking at the Ryobi 18g brad nailer kit, the 3" cutoff tool kit, and the router/planer combo. After a handful (if that) of projects, they would probably sit for a while. The Milwaukee versions would cost 2x as much to acquire. Decisions decisions...
I bought a kit of 2 Ryobi nailers. I thought they would be great for doing a trim project. The one thing I will say is that the larger nailer was so big that I wasn't able to tack down the base board molding where I wanted to so I had to switch to the smaller nailer. Other than that, the tools functioned flawlessly.

The reviews aren't terribly great for them, but you can buy adapters to use M18 batteries with Ryobi tools. From my understanding, they're designed to fit both DeWalt and Milwaukee batteries, and that design is a compromise for the fitment of Milwaukee.
I've been thinking about buying one to try out, and do the same as you with a few Ryobi tools in the mix where Milwaukee is priced too high.
I've been using the Surebonder Milwaukee to Ryobi adaptor and it's been fine. I"ve used it on my Ryobi string trimmer and drill:

Check www.directtoolsoutlet.com before you buy. They have some pretty good deals going right now. It's all factory blemished or "certified pre owned." Everything I've bought from them has looked brand new other than pre owned stuff being engraved to show it being a refurb.
Anybody seeing a deal on a 2732 circular saw? I believe I saw it at 170 or so from international a day ago, but it was sold out. I only have 5.0 batteries, so I'm not opposed to the 21 kit either. Just think I'd be dollars ahead with the tool only.

I thought it was through most of December.
However, they have throttled back online availability of at least the 2x 4.0ah/bag/charger kit. So it is a little more effort to close some deals.
Anyone know if an in-store purchase of these free-tool deals will ring up automatically? Or do you have to go through a luxurious conversation with store staff?
Further, how much ID do they ask for if you're paying cash and returning in-store?
