This is a good deal for someone who wants to do no extra legwork. Otherwise I'd stick to the hack deals, batteries in kits are easily 10/ah or less if you're willing to either buy them new open box from someone else or buy a combo kit like Ruyi mentioned and sell the other pieces. (That hack deal is like 160 after tax, sell the two tools/bag/charger for 100 (it would sell in hours at that price tbh) and keep the batteries for 60 out the door vs 85 after tax or more for this most places. Or the deal directly above me and sell the 6.0 for around 60 and be out the door for 45 or so (6.0s are supposedly a lot less reliable, I ditched mine recently as I didn't really need that much capacity over the couple 4s I already had looking to add a 5 or two to my collection eventually and call it good.
I disagree, there were definitely some bangers. Unfortunately for me, a lot of them came along after I'd bought at higher (albeit still on sale) prices: the gen 3 impact + hammerdrill kit, right angle die grinder, stubby impact wrench, etc.
One of my favorite Milwaukee deals in 2023 though was the M18 top off inverter/usb-c adapter. Super handy to have!

I can certainly add that from my own experience, all three of my 6.0's are failed after a year of homeowner type usage. My 2.0's and 4.0's are still going strong.

Makes me feel even better about my decision lol, sorry you had bad luck, were you able to warranty them at least?
Definitely not too bad, but I can't go back to using the regular batteries after getting used to the High Outputs. On a lot of the M12 tools I can get just as much (if not more) power from the small 2.5AH High Output battery as I used to get from the 6.0AH regular M12 batteries. If I need even more run time off of a really hungry device i have a pair of 5.0AH High Output batteries.

Do both items have to be selected for store pickup? I'm trying to get the 3 pack delivered to me but it says, "Please make sure promotional items have the same delivery or pickup options and try again". My question is if both are ready for pickup do I just say I don't want the 2.5ah battery when picking up?
