I had a chance to use a Milwaukee M18 inflator over the weekend. It was great ! I really like the compressor and I would recommend it to anyone. Only problem is that I do not own one single piece of M18 gear. Sorry, nothing in my shop is red. So, to get an operational M18 compressor would cost me… $378 from Acme. To pump up a tire… almost $400. The tire didn’t cost half as much as the pump which I would use occasionally out of convenience ! I guess this really is a marketing problem. I don’t need another drill. I don’t need another driver. I don’t need another saw. I would “like” a great inflator. But at $378, I don’t think I will be buying one anytime soon.

Now if I only need the light, or the batteries, or the charger …

If it was two 3ahs in the small package I’d probably go for it.

In reply to Chip. Yellow stickers are clearance items. We're these possibly returns, or were the boxes really dusty? Regardless, that is an awesome deal. If that was in my store's clearance area, I'd have bought at least one, maybe two and sold one and made enough to pay for all or part of the one I kept.

I picked up the M18 compressor at my HD yesterday on sale for $190. I think that tool is normally ~$379ish. I saw it online somewhere for $315. Weird yellow sales stickers on the boxes. They had at least two more. Was it just my store?

That $159 M18 FUEL grinder + 5 amp battery got me.

Home Depot is incredibly annoying with their sales. The better deals are often unpromoted and hidden in all their endless options of weird combos.
This m18 hackzall is the fuel vs the brushed in the deal of the day, for 30 bucks cheaper. Still comes with 2.0 free battery. Just one example. Been years of this nonsense. Occasionly some of the dailys are decent, but normally takes weird search filters to find the real deals – that are not only way better, but run longer than one day impulse buys. Feels shady trying to unload old models for more expensive with the one day only sales. Bugs me to no end.

The M12 Packout light with two batteries seems like a very good deal. The bare tool is $129 (at acme) and $149 at Home Depot, while the Home Depot deal is $139 for the light and a 4ah and 2ah + charger.
