Ordered a 3/8 stubby for $123 shipped from CPO, and a 1/4 brushed ratchet for $50 shipped from some other retailer this weekend. All new, and unused. Pretty good weekend for power tools!

Where did you find the 1/4 brushed ratchet for that price?
Your better off doing eservice, they send out the small stuff anyways.
I was just there for my usb rover and aaa headlamp. They just handed me new ones yippie.

Ebay seller that looks like a pawn shop. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other Milwaukee stuff.

ToolNut.com sometimes has deals...
I got the following: 1/4" brushed ratchet with small packout container for $99... there was a third thing in the box but for the life of me... can't remember if it was a battery or something else.
Watch ToolNut.com for holiday deals...
Thanks! I'll check over there

$488.61 for the Table Saw w/ 2 batteries.
$355.11 for the other kits w/ 2 batteries.
I bought the chainsaw early on for $300 w/ 1 battery, oh well.

I could be wrong but I think what they are saying is that the starter kit (battery and charger) will be down to $99 not the vacuum with the starter kit.

Not always, but most of the time, items for available for Pro Black Friday (week) are not part of the regular BF sales. This is to make sure they have the guaranteed inventory for anything listed in that Fridays ad, otherwise it is a potential legal issue.
So with that, I doubt that the vacuum that comes with the 5ah in the box (0880-20P) will drop past the $149 next week. I do hope I'm wrong

****, just noticed I got charged sales tax on my CPO order last week, first Zoro, now CPO. I am gonna be pissed when Acme, Toolup, etc start charging me tax. Though once everyones charging me tax, HD might get a little more of my business.

The 10/15/20 % off sales at Acme would still be a $40+ savings on the bigger kits compared to HD though.

I currently have the M12 Fuel hammer drill and impact driver, but I was thinking of adding the M12 Fuel screwdriver. Has anyone ever used one? If so, is it worth getting if I have the impact driver? Thanks

just picked up a packout three box set at HD. had a 10% off coupon from a friend that was going to go tilt soon, and they had them in stock for 199$. i am sure i could have saved more if i had worked it enough, but it wasn't covered with the 11% off sale at acmetools.com or cpomilwaukee.com, and i decided that the stuff i regret is the stuff i didnt buy . . . .
the bottom weighs 23.4lbs, the middle weighs 12.1lbs, and the top weighs 10.1lbs. so, even empty it weighs 45.6lbs. . . . . thankfully the wheels work well . . . .

i just did a job where i needed both philips and regular screw drivers constantly, so i used my driver and my hex impact (both M12). the impact was alright, and depending on what you are driving where, may be better, but i found i greatly preferred the straight driver. easier to use, and easier to control.

Cool, thanks for the help. I need something with less torque so the M12 Screwdriver seems like the way to go. These Milwaukee power tools are addicting, difficult to not buy one every time I go to HD. Thanks again.
I ordered the M18 wet dry vac with the 5.0 starter kit for $132 from ACME yesterday. Today I ordered the Gen 2 leaf blower 9.0 kit with rapid charger and a bonus 9.0 battery for $259. I've got some other red tools on my list, but I want to leave something for the family to get me for Christmas

Have had the FUEL screwdriver for a long time. Same body as the FUEL drill but bit changes are just so convenient with 1/4" hex collet and THE BONUS no noise. Just so many places to drive a screw where the impact action isn't needed.
Powerful too can set a 3 inch screw like nothing
The screwdrivers are great tools, even the lowly 2401. I have the original.

this is the one i have (2402-20):
https://www.homedepot.com/p/203835505 (120$)
i have used this one also (2406-20, non fuel):
https://www.homedepot.com/p/204390535 (84$)
they both behave great.
you can get the fuel one refurbished here:
https://www.cpomilwaukee.com/factor...river--bare-tool-/milr2402-80,default,pd.html
for 89$, but it is out of stock now. i have bought a bunch of refurbished stuff from CPO over the years, never had an issue, YMMV.

Yeah if it can drive 3 inch screws then that’s perfect for me. Less noise is always a good thing, especially indoors. Thanks for the feedback.

I was looking into the 2402-20. My HD doesn’t have the Fuel version in stock so I will have to order online. I was looking to take advantage of the deal on acme tools to buy bare tool and get the free kit but it’s currently out of stock. I’ll have to check back with CPO to see when it’s back in stock. Thanks for the help.

Cool, sounds like adding the Screwdriver to my collection is the way to go.

Your collection will grow... I'm no expert... I only have 17 M12 tools with 22 batteries.
Some here have crazy collections.

I might get one tomorrow with a $20 off $200 coupon. I thought about waiting until Acme runs a 15% or 20% off coupon, but I'm getting too impatient. I'm curious to see how it does on stairs.

I have the non fuel screwdriver and it's been plenty powerful for my needs. It's driven 2" screws just fine into 2x and plywood. I haven't tried anything longer. My take on screwdrivers is that I want light weight and control. I don't really need lots of power. I only paid around $45 for mine as a warehouse deal so that helped a lot with the decision making for me.

It works fairly well on stairs, depending on how heavy you have loaded the boxes. I tried with exactly the batteries I thought I would need...not too bad.
Then I added two 9 AH batteries for the mitra saw, and two 5 AH for the sawzall...it was not as easy.
Depends on the type of stairs as well. Those that had a large lip were a lot tougher, those that were simple with no bullnose were easier.

I’m just getting in the Milwaukee band wagon after buying the 3/8 ratchet. Love that thing.
Anyway what is the difference in the m18 brushless driver and drill and the fuel driver and drills.
Also I got an early Northern Tool mailer in yesterday, they have the High torque impact, with two batteries a light and they add a angle grinder and a 3rd battery for $450.... and then sent a $50 coupon to add on top of that. Seems like a pretty good deal.
