If you only shop one Milwaukee deal this year, this is the one. Several Milwaukee BOGO deals are live right now at The Home Depot, and the free-tool picks are standouts that even the pros would bring to the job. The best of all the deals is the M18 XC 5.0Ah Starter Kit for $219, and you get your choice of three freebies with purchase. My favorite freebie with that deal is the Milwaukee M18 FUEL SURGE 1/4‑in. Hex Impact Driver (valued at $199). 

The Home Depot makes these Milwaukee BOGO bundles easy to shop online, and they’re a win whether you’re starting a kit or upgrading your current one. Prefer a drywall or metal power tool? The M18 Drywall Screw Gun ($179 value) and the M18 Brushless 4‑1/2–5‑in. Grinder ($149 value) are also free choices with the battery kit purchase. 

You’ll find more Milwaukee BOGO deals at The Home Depot as well. And if you score my favorite pick—the M18 Hex Impact Driver—don’t miss the deal on this set of Milwaukee Shockwaver Impact-Duty Bits for just $19.88 (half-off, now $39.97).

The SURGE features a fluid-drive hydraulic powertrain that runs up to 50 percent quieter with three times less vibration than standard impacts, making it easier on ears and hands in finished spaces. You also get 4‑Mode Drive control with a Self‑Tapping Screw Mode for clean starts and fewer stripped fasteners.

Auto-start mode only spins the motor when the bit hits drywall, cutting noise between screws and stretching runtime; the 4,500 RPM brushless motor keeps pace with pro power and speed.
