This Milwaukee M18 starter kit stands out for bundling two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger with a free select tool, making it especially useful if you want to build out an M18 setup or grab a bare tool at a discount. The free-tool list includes options like the inflator, jig saw, radio, 6.0Ah battery, and 4500 lumen Rover, and the kit is described as a strong battery deal with many tools that usually cost $125 or more bare. The main caveat is price history and tool choice, since the same bundle was seen at $179 before and the 3/8 inch impact has drawn doubts for lug nut work. A solid bundle if the included tool fits your needs.

  • The starter kit can be a strong way to add M18 batteries and charger while choosing a free tool option.

  • The M18 inflator can support ongoing home projects like LVP installation and trim work without paying for installation labor.

  • The free tool selection includes higher-value options such as a 6.0 battery, jig saw, radio, and a Rover light.

  • The Gen-3 M18 impact wrench can work well for brake and suspension jobs when avoiding a larger high-torque tool.

  • The "hack" approach for discounted batteries and charger can raise questions about whether store pickup and expiration are frowned upon.

  • The 3/8 impact tool's lug-nut usefulness is uncertain because guidance includes both using it with impact sockets and switching to a 1/2" tool instead.

  • The deal price may not be the best historical low because a similar deal was seen for $179 two years earlier.

  • The compact 3/8 impact tool in the lineup may fail to remove lug nuts on a golf cart during initial testing.

I just did the m18 inflator with the 2 5.0 batteries. I believe it will allow for me to return either for $99 if I wish to hack. Best deal I've seen on this in a while: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa.../320022879

I think the inflator is about the only tool in this list I don't already have. These threads are starting to resemble the 4k Blu-ray threads for me. I may have a problem...

I'm currently in the middle of putting down ~1,000 sq-ft of CoreTec Ultra LVP (surprising solid quality) in my house and justified the purchase of the M18 Jigsaw (where was this deal then, eh?), the M18 Multi-Tool and the M12 caulk gun by saving the several thousand it would cost to pay someone to install. I continue to be impressed by these tools on a daily basis, they just have no equal. That said, the M12 caulk gun, while laying a perfectly even bead, requires you to be the fastest caulk gun dude in the west, even on the lowest setting. I did a 12-15ft stretch of baseboard in about 8 seconds. Who TF is setting #6 for?

My favorite tool of the bunch, however, is the M18 Brad Nailer. After hundreds of feet of shoe molding (going from carpet to LVP), I just couldn't imagine doing it another way. Perfectly set 18ga nails every 6 inches in a matter of minutes.

Just hack attack it, if you just need the tool or reverse hack attack if you just want the batteries & charger at discount.

Solid deal lately for the batteries if you need one of the tools. There are some options here that usually don't end up in deals when the batteries are the toss in. Most of the tools on it will run you 125+ for the bare metal ones, some a bit more.

What's the current method for hacking without returning? Isn't it now frowned upon to set it for store pickup and let it expire?

Yaass!! Pickup & abandon will get you ghost banned. The new way is order & ship to your crib. Then drive over to Homey Depot & refund the 1 you dont want.

The Gen-3 impact wrench seems like the tool for me. Anyone else have experience (good or bad) with this tool?

It's been solid so far - I use it for brake and suspension work and it's perfect for that. It's great for the times you don't want (or need) to get the big Gen2 1/2" out with it's 1600 ft-lbs of "nut-busting torque."

I dunno who writes the copy for MIlwaukee, but I love that guy.
