I was just at a local Home Depot to pick up some shelving hardware and I saw that they had a bunch of Milwaukee M12 2.5Ah & 5.0Ah Battery Sets going for $99, which is basically a steal. They normally sell for $199 and are currently on sale on their web site at $149, but for some reason they had them marked down another $50.
Milwaukee 2.5Ah & 5.0Ah Battery Set $99
I thought it was a mislabel but I asked an associate and he said that it’s the correct price. When I went to ring it up it came up as $99, so I snagged one. I’ve been looking to get an additional battery as I have 6 M12 tools now but only 5 M12 batteries, but assumed that these would be to pricey for me as they only came out last year and are supposed to be their best M12 batteries right now.
If you need additional high-capacity M12 batteries, this is too good a deal to pass up. I mean, seriously, don’t wait, just get it. You can always return it if you don’t need it (or resell it online for a markup). I don’t know if this deal is only running at the Home Depot I went to (it’s the one in Glendale, Queens NYC), or if it’s at all their stores. Unfortunately it’s an in-store deal as the online price is still $149.
I’m curious if others come across this deal at their local Home Depot. Post here if you do. If you’re near the store I got this at, it’s in an end cap at the far end of the aisle between fasteners and tools, towards the back of the store. They had around 10 of them IIRC. I didn’t check the section they normally put batteries in but if it’s the same SKU it should ring up as $99.
