Any idea if m12 stapler warrant $130 price? I need to insulate small part of my basement but i believe dewalt's manual $30 will suffice. I was going back and forth between jigsaw and stapler and picked jigsaw last night. They were both $130. I kinda need stapler more than i need jigsaw but in the long run i believe jigsaw is money better spend.

I was in the same boat and went with the dewalt stapler. If you have no physical issues with manually pressing the stapler, I’d definitely go that route. One advantage of the Milwaukee is that if you have a hell of a lot of staples to put in the Milwaukee will save your hands.

Last question on this - do these sets go on sale, or is it best to purchase now? No rush to purchase if I can save a few bucks later...skanji wrote: ↑Jan 3rd, 2019 10:32 amFolks, looking to replace my Ryobi drill for general use around the house. Not doing any major project, but need one around the house for sure.
Looking at this set:

Reading the posts here, hearing the M12 isn't as favoured as M18, but for my use, what you get and the price point, would you folks advise something better than this?

Is the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Combo Kit the same as buying the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver separately? So buying separately is cheaper ($139x2 vs $299) and comes with 4 batteries instead of 2? Does each set also come with another free battery with this promotion?

The tools are all the same. The $299 kit is only eligible for a single 2.0ah battery; whether or not the promotion is still available will be up to the store you shop at.silverferrari wrote: ↑Jan 8th, 2019 1:35 pmIs the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Combo Kit the same as buying the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver separately?

Better check the list for qualifying items. I know the fuel impact kit is not on the list.silverferrari wrote: ↑Jan 8th, 2019 1:35 pmIs the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Combo Kit the same as buying the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver separately?

In my opinion it’s best to purchase now. There may be a price update in the future as the m12 hammer drill fuel kit in the states is $179

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you I'm looking to get this fuel hammer drill + impact driver kit but found out buying them seperately is actually cheaper. I think even with this battery promotion with the kit set, it's still cheaper to just buy them seperately as you save $21 and you get another extra 2.0 compact battery.silverferrari wrote: ↑Jan 8th, 2019 1:35 pmIs the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Combo Kit the same as buying the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver separately?

I am not sure if Kmstools is going to have any deals next week for this set, from their flyers seems like they only have deals for the non fuel. Might give HD a call tomorrow and see if this battery promotion applies to the M12 fuel drills separately.

It doesn't apply to the m12 fuel impact driver kit. You can check the list on the first page here for the drill kit.

PRICE INCREASES!
Was at HD and thought I'd check if there were any deals on the rotary tool and noticed most of the M12 product line has increased in price. The rotary tool is now $89 where it used to be $79. M12 Lantern was on sale for the longest time at $59 and now $79. M12 Jig Saw was $129 now $149. Most are up $10 to $20. I did confirm the battery promotion is still going on but I don't see it on the web site any longer.
The deal is still "good" with the free battery but not as good as it was back in 2018 with the lower prices. With the "surging" ;-) Canadian Dollar, some good deals on these combo M12 packages in the US stores if you don't have to pay any duties.

The 2 individual kits are a better buy. You get 4 batteries and 2 cases and 2 chargers for $20 less.silverferrari wrote: ↑Jan 8th, 2019 1:35 pmIs the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Combo Kit the same as buying the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver separately?

And, you will not find any 2 packs of the 3.0 batteries even if you wanted to take advantage of the special.

I noticed it online with the lantern and thought it was funny that it stated “new lower price”Hank71 wrote: ↑Jan 13th, 2019 10:21 amPRICE INCREASES!

I'll bet that it has more to do with the US/China trade tariffs than it does with anything else. Most of Milwaukee's power tools are made/assembled in China and then exported to the US where we, in turn, import them from the US. Since the tariffs are applied when the product is imported into the US, we end up paying for those tariffs. As the existing inventory is drawn down, I suspect that more tools made in China but imported from the US will see 'price hikes' in the next few months.Hank71 wrote: ↑Jan 13th, 2019 10:21 amPRICE INCREASES!
