Hey all,

I've been looking to move my tools from Ryobi to something a little more powerful and settled on Milwaukee. When looking around, Home Depot appears to have a good presidents day deal on the starter set. It's the 4 tool combo (drill, impact driver, oscillating tool, light, 3.0 amp battery, 6.0 amp battery, and charger) plus 2 bonus tools. The best deal for bonus tools appears to be the 4-1/2 inch angle grinder and inflator. That puts the retail total at $1331 before the savings bring it down to $599.00.

There are other combos, but going through it it looks like the angle grinder and inflator are the best bang for the buck.

If you have military discount, it stacks 10% off on top of this, making it a pretty slick start to the M18 Fuel line.

I already own all these, but solid deal. Fuel tools for under a hundred each is always a good deal, especially the inflator.
I think this is a good deal. Batteries are worth $100, so you end up with 5 fuel tools for $100 each and a flashlight for free. I bought this combo 5 months ago but instead of a grinder which I already had, I got a a job site speaker.

I use deWalt and Milwaukee tools extensively throughout my trade, my thoughts on these:

This Fuel oscillating tool is the best in the industry. It consistently takes first in oscillating tool shootouts on tool channels and also on project farm. I'm not aware of any other brand including German premium brands releasing anything better yet.

Inflator is the best battery intflator ever created. Get it, it's amazing. One downside is it comes with a threaded chuck which is annoying. I went on amazon and bought quite a few chucks to test. Here are my picks: If you're on a budget, get https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 for $7. Works very well.
But my favorite and it's quite expensive at $27 is a self locking chuck by JACO. You just slide it right on and it holds. Press a button and it pops right off. Doesn't leak if you seat it right. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 There's a couple dollar cheaper one without additional swivel point. Not sure if that one is going to be more reliable long term, but it's going to be less convenient.

Impact driver is too powerful for the stuff I do. If you let it rip screwing regular screws into wood, it's too easy to sink it in pretty deep. I imagine it's perfect for people who work with hole saws, lag bolts, and big butterfly bits. I like to use deWalt atomic little impact driver, it's slower and gives me finer depth control while squeezing trigger all the way. Takes like a second longer per screw. Older impact drivers only had one ball bearing holding bits. In use with butterfly bits where you had to use quite a bit of force to yank it out of the hole it would sometimes release the bit. At some point last year I think, they updated it to 2 ball bearing. Not sure if they ran out of older ones yet, I think the one I got from 5 months ago had one ball bearing. Look inside the chuck and you will see.

Drill I didn't get to use much so I don't have any opinion on it. All the stuff I have, even drill bits, have hexes for impact driver use. From reviews it's somewhere in the middle of the pact. deWalt and Flex make more powerful ones. Maybe someone who actually uses hammer drills to drill concrete can chime in.

Angle grinder I have used a little bit to grind down a rebar or a bolt sticking out of the floor here and there. It's average. It will do the job here and there but it won't cut it for heavy duty prolonged use, but it's perfect for little things that come up. If you must use a battery instead of corded grinder for a big job, I recommend deWalt 60v grinder with a 9ah battery. It's a beast that will outlast this Milwaukee probably twice as long before shutting down due to overheating. This grinder is probably the reason this kit comes with HO batteries. Some of the time it shuts down is probably due to regular non HO batteries overheating due to high current draw.

Jobsite speaker if you decide to go for it, is decent. Takes 12v and 18v batteries.

Charger that comes with this kit is slowest garbage they have that they give away with everything. Ok for home use, but if you're a tradesman you want to buy a rapid charger.
The drill and driver are 400. How is purchasing separate better?

Another possible deal (maybe deserves its own thread). This is the same setup but you can pick the inflator separately. If you use the hack and can cancel the inflator, it makes the 4 tool combo kit plus angle grinder $461.

The flashlight and the batteries are trash! The set is better to be purchased separately! I own all of it and love it!
What's wrong with the batteries?

Working for me. You have to click the link and add the inflator as your free item.

Buy this and select your free battery. Then at checkout they will both be listed. You have to cancel the battery or return it after and the drill / driver set will be $266.
