Sold by Tools R Us - A tool reseller. It appears this reseller has some sort of business relationship with Milwaukee and has many Milwaukee tools for sale... but it's not clear if they are an authorized reseller or if you would run into warrantee issues using a receipt from Walmart.com

However, I do like the lower price. I've seen multiple smaller tool resellers list this combo for $175 to $179 recently... so HD certainly needs to do a better job on their BF pricing as they are paying significantly less than the regional suppliers given their volume / purchasing power.

Edit - Seller now listed as GenuineTools.com. Also, I've never had to deal with Milwaukee warrantee repairs but per the comments in this thread - I doesn't sound like the seller or receipt will be an issue unless you receive really old stock and were nearing the end of the warrantee period.

This Milwaukee M12 FUEL hammer drill and impact driver kit stands out for compact size and surprising power, especially for a 12V platform. The impact driver gets praised as a workhorse for lug nuts, lag bolts, and tight spaces, and the newer FUEL tools are described as nearly matching higher-voltage performance, including strong hammering into cement. The main caution is warranty uncertainty with the reseller, since authorization is unclear and coverage may depend on the serial number and proof of purchase. Pricing has also swung lower before, with recent reports around $108 to $146 and earlier deals near $139, so the current price is not the low end.

  • The M12 FUEL hammer drill delivers surprisingly strong hammering power for common jobs like cement work.

  • The M12 impact driver works as a compact workhorse for lug nuts, lag bolts, and small car fasteners.

  • Milwaukee warranty coverage can be validated using proof of purchase and the tool's manufacturing date.

    river60

  • Milwaukee warranty can be honored when the serial number is legible and the tool falls within the model's coverage period.

    Poplar916

  • The seller's authorization status is unclear, which can create uncertainty about warranty coverage.

    hceuterpeandyhi

  • The kit price has recently been lower, so the current $170 deal may not match earlier $110-$130 or $139 Memorial Day pricing.

  • The electronic clutch can be inconsistent, including stopping on a 2-inch hole saw even at lower gear.

  • Some settings may cause the drill to turn off when the chuck is moved in certain directions.

If anyone can wait, then this is available way cheaper during memorial day. I bought mine for $139 + tax
Was that straight up price or did you have to do some kind of hack

This drill set has shocking power for being 12V. I was skeptical of a 12V hammer drill, but for most applications it packs more than enough power and the batteries are solid. I find myself reaching for the 12V, way more than my 18 V drills. I paid closer to $250, and it was worth it.
I've long avoided the 12v tool systems for this reason but got this same set for the same price with a bonus battery (at HD) almost two years ago and haven't used my 18v drill or driver since. This set is fantastic, and this is a very good price

Yeah, It is shocking how good the M12 system is and how powerful. Rarely do I need the 18V driver.

Yeah, it appears Home Depot had this set on sale just a month ago for $180 and included 4 total batteries with that combo. (no hack required)

Home Depot's current $199 "Black Friday" pricing is horrible.

after 6 years of using these, I think they're okay. Not great. I don't and never will like the electronic clutch. Driving anything with a Ryobi with a physical clutch seems to be better and more consistent. Milwaukee's electronic clutch isn't all that consistent. I'll try to use a 2" hole saw on Drill setting and it'll stop me even if I use the lower gear. There also is an issue with some of the settings if the chuck is moved one way or the other, the drill turns off.

I paid $146 a few months ago for this same bundle after hacking it. That deal also included a free 45 piece bit set that was bundled in with the drill kit so it did not have to be returned when hacking the tool kit and returning the free batteries. It was a hell of a deal. I'm not sure if this kit will go lower than $169 without a hack.

Same here, but bundled with the Milwaukee drill bit kit. All for $138 plus tax.

I have to say that a seller called "Genuine Tools" makes me suspicious that they actually sell genuine tools. However, they get a Trustpilot score of 4.5: https://www.trustpilot.com/review...etools.com

Based on their offerings, I would guess they're reselling for HD stock, either from buying hacks, or possibly pallets of returns.
