Good deal on Milwaukee battery tools....

[bandit67]

Guys, while at Home Depot today I decided to purchase one of those Milwaukee M18 volt battery operated air compressors. It was $199. Not knowing how much power this thing requires, I decided to pick up two more batteries. Already have a charger as all my battery tools are Milwaukee. Went to pick up a two pack of 3 amp batteries alone and they were $80 bucks. A nice old guys said we have a better deal if you are interested, yes of course.
We walked up front and there they have a sale going on. Buy a two pack of batteries, [3 amp] and charger for $199 and any of a bunch of tools listed for FREE. Drills, grinders and of course the compressor I was after. So, if you are in need of a new tool, you may be able to get batts and a charger at no extra charge.

Home depot has those deals online if you are not near one. Not sure how long they will be for sale. Free shipping too! To store or you.

All my battery tools are Milwaukee. Batteries cast more than the tools. I tried purchasing the cheaper knock off brands and they died within a year. Won’t charge.

I get a Milwaukee flyer twice a year, I use these times to purchase the expensive tools. I bought my bandsaw this spring and got a 6.0 battery free.

Remember when Black Friday actually started on Thanksgiving or the Friday after

Home Depot now starts usually around Nov 7th with Pre Black Friday

Well it started this past weekend after Halloween , I got the Email

Pretty soon it will start after July 4th

I know Milwaukee Tools are very good and reliable, but I do not own any. Mostly Dewalt Tools, as that is what I routinely use for the majority of my power tools. Homeless Depot does start their Black Friday deals way too early...JMHO is all...but when they do, just about every brand they carry has some really good buys and deals. Plus, those who have the Veteran endorsement can get an additional 10% off the total purchase price before the sales tax. Just a FYI on the 10% off for those that haven't signed up for it as of yet...cr8crshr/Bill

That's a better deal than I got as my battery packs were only 3 amp batteries and these are 5 amp batteries .

Last year before our Route 66 trip, I paid that for mine without batteries.

I've had original Milwaukee batteries fail, and knock offs for a quarter of the price keep working for several years, so your mileage may vary.

So I went searching for the latest power tools.....and this shows up....

Could be in the Milwaukee Pipeline, and just not released yet to the public.

I was a loyal Dewalt customer. But I do think Milwaukee has passed them on quality. And if you're patent? You can catch better and more frequent deals than Dewalt.

Over here Milwaukee and Makita are in a tussle for top spot for trade tools...... DeWalt has lost ground, and although popular it is not as noticeable as it was about 10 years ago.

Ryobi is for entry-level weekend-warriors - like accountants and Lawyers who think they can impress their wives by fixing stuff. Usually ends in disaster....which is good for us who enjoy watching those screw-up videos on the net. These are the same guys who usually have difficult launching a small boat or even tying their own shoelaces.

FWIW ...Ryobi is the biggest seller here in the proxy Chinese outlet hardware stores.... run by Australians. I refuse to shop there now, and not because of their shitty sausages on a Saturday morning.

I'm sure that Bunnings is an equal-opportunity employer..... just by the moronic replies by their staff when you ask a legit question.

Ryobi and Milwaukee are both owned by Techtronic Industries.
