The Hack
The hack is simple. You buy a promo deal which you get a free tool or battery. There are different ways to do the hack. Pick up at the store, online, or a combination of both. You keep one of the items and the other item is subtracted automatically (if you did not pick it up) or return the item.
The Hack Example:
The M18 ($219) is the key to the hack. It is a promotional item. You have to select that in your cart. The battery ($139) is a free item. It shows you in the cart with the return value based on the zip code of the Home Depot (zip code example 43065) you select.
$133.97 + $85.03 = $219 plus your state sales tax. If you received it in the mail return the item to Home Depot and they will subtract the one you didn't want. If you didn't pick it up Home Depot will subtract the item after a certain time (they will let you know in the email). That is the Hack. Tool Boss on YouTube Channel can explain it better. I cannot provide the link due to the Slick Deals policy.

Btw, are brushed impact wrenches known to lose impact power over time as they're used and the internals wear down and the battery gradually loses max power?
I need more batteries, should I return this anyway and wait for a deal? I had ordered something through Grainger to get the 12ah batt, but they cancelled it out from under me.

Milwaukee's Fuel line of tools are as good as it gets for pro-sumer grade. The next step up is professional grade, something like Snap-on or Hilti.
The tools themselves pretty close to Dewalt or Makita, maybe a little more robust, the battery is what sets them apart. Design and the cells used are important, Milwaukee is way ahead of Dewalt and Makita here.
Craftsman is a consumer/home user grade, they're junk, so it's not fair to compare them here.
Brushed tools don't lose any more power than brushless over time from what I've experienced, you just need to change the brushes. Brushless have way more torque in a smaller package, and they just keep getting cheaper, so there's no reason to buy a brushed tool these days. The internals wear down just like any tool, so you can lose some power from something snapping off or a bearing going bad, but that's what warranty repairs are for.. unless you like opening them up and fing with them like I do.

The cheapest, I believe, is this:
M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit w/ 2 Batteries and Bag (2-Tool) -
$229.00 ($138.31 with the return trick) + $149.00 ($90.69 with the return trick)
https://www.homedepot.c
I thought it was a worthwhile to pay an extra $12 bucks ($150.66) for the kit that also includes their $25 45 piece bit set:
M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit (2-Tool) with Bit Set (45-Piece)
https://www.homedepot.c
I only see one kit that includes the M12 Surge impact unfortunately:
M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-in-1 Installation 3/8in. Drill Driver & SURGE Impact Driver Combo Kit
$239.00 after the trick.

Sure, if you use it in a professional shop for several hours a day, every day, year after year, you might need to eventually change out the brushes, but I doubt that many repair shops are using Craftsman battery powered tools.

As for brushless coming down in price, I assume it's because the circuitry is getting cheaper and more of a commodity item as patents expire and the chips themselves getting mass produced and cheaper. But at this point there's little point in getting brushed unless money's an issue and you just need something for the occasional job around the house and don't intend to use it regularly or for heavy duty applications.

It's held up ok, but it "feels" like it has less breaking torque than it once did. Perhaps it's my imagination and it's as powerful as it was out of the box. In any case, it's not quite powerful enough for certain tasks and I could use something stronger. Plus, it lacks certain features that some impacts have that seem very handy, like multiple speeds, and especially a setting where it reinstalls a fastener but disengages when it starts to tighten, around 20ft-lbs, so as to not overtorque it, and you can finish the job with a proper torque wrench. That would be a huge timesaver for certain applications, like rebuilding my trans.
