Milwaukee M18 Fuel Impact Driver Starter Kit $159!! (DEAD, now $299)

[HardWired1]

This is the best impact driver Milwaukee makes. It's consistently tests as the most powerful in the industry. This is just about half of what the tool and battery sell for separately. It's a starter kit so no case or carry bag. It just appeared this morning in this particular sales configuration and it ends at midnight tonight.

HomeDepot has been a good amount of sales on Milwaukee tools. Well worth the money too.

Work smarter, not harder. Having good impacts just for taking stuff part makes your life much easier.

i just ordered a ton of stuff from home depot this morning. why do you do this to me?

I use this impact everyday, can vouch for it 👍. Easily the best impact I've ever used... it's infinitely useful with the various power settings without having to try to half trigger the torque on something.

Only 1/4 tho... looking for a 1/2 to manage head bolts and lug nuts.

People have their preferences I'm sure, but I ended up going with a refurbed Makita set in the last six months that had both a 18V hammer drill, and a 18V impact driver, and a dual quick charge battery station and two 5amp hour batteries for a bit over $200 from a Makita refurb store on eBay. It's been everything I could ask for. Makita is basically one tier behind Milwaukee from what I can tell, but unless you are a tradesman using the tool 8 hours a day, every day, you may not be able to tell the difference. Project Farm reviews sees to rate the Makita pretty well.

Milwaukee is considered pretty much the best though.

It's an impact driver, not an impact. You put bits and socket adapters into the tip. This impact driver removes lug nuts without issue, especially with that battery (delivers more power).

What he said ^^

This is not an impact wrench. Those are used primarily for heavy nut and/or bolt removal/replacement scenarios. An impact driver (this one) can act as a drill and it effortlessly drives screws and bolts into wood and metal. Tons of automotive applications as well. It can easily pop the lug nuts off most any vehicle, but that isn't it's main purpose.

When I ordered early this morning it showed 1048 units available to ship to my store. It now shows 698 available as of 4:25 PST. I think that's a nationwide inventory count I'm seeing steadily drop all day. The sale ends at midnight PST.

Ordered one, thanks OP. Been meaning to get an impact driver and kept putting it off, but at roughly 50% off, this is a steal.

The deal is dead as of this morning. Hope more than ZeroBarrier got in on it.

I would hope so too. Thank you again for the heads up.

The collet is trash and easily one of the worst I've ever used, bits fall out of it randomly even after cleaning/lubing the ball retention mechanism. It's apparently a known issue (lots of people online mention it) but it hasn't been fixed in years....

...otherwise it's the best impact driver I've used.

There was a single spring loaded ball bearing holding them in with the first gens. Any built after Dec. 2020 have a double ball bearing that cures the problem and won't have that issue. Get a hold of Milwaukee, they'll replace it.

These are handy to have around for any homeowner. I got one with a craftsman cordless set I bought years ago. Did not think I'd use it that much... boy was I wrong.

Did you work with Milwaukee prior to the TTI acquisition? The quality of Milwaukee tools went to shit after TTI purchased them. I was a very larger Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, and DeWalt distributor for many years. It is really amazing to see the build quality difference in a Sawzall, for example, between the Atlas Copco days and the TTI days.
