Home Depot has a whopper of a Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless power tool combo kit deal for their Black Friday 2025 deals. In this post I’ll analyze it as best I can.
Shown above is the Milwaukee 4-tool cordless combo kit with a Packout rolling box, model 3697-24PO. Several retailers have it as a $599 special promo price right now, and Home Depot has it at the same price plus you get an additional FORGE 8Ah battery for free.
The combo kit gives you:

- M18 Fuel hammer drill
- M18 Fuel impact driver
- M18 Fuel 4-1/2″-5″ braking paddle switch angle grinder
- M18 Fuel Hackzall compact reciprocating saw
- 2x 5Ah batteries
- Standard charger
- Packout rolling tool box
- FREE M18 FORGE XC 8Ah battery (only at Home Depot from what I can see)
Is it a good buy for $599? YES! Or at least I’d say so.
At the time of this posting, Home Depot has the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2-tool cordless hammer drill and impact driver kit for $399, plus you get a free tool with that as part of a separate Black Friday deal. Okay, so let’s say you pick the angle grinder. That gives you a 3-tool combo kit with 2x 5Ah batteries and a charger, for $399.
For $200 more than that, which is already a holiday season deal bundle, you get the M18 Fuel Hackzall reciprocating saw (sold separately for $199), Packout rolling tool box (sold separately for $169), and M18 FORGE tabless cell XC 8Ah battery (sold separately for $229).
In case you’re new to the Milwaukee M18 cordless power tool family, the M18 Fuel tools all feature brushless motors and the best features and performance you can find within the M18 system.
This looks to be a fantastic deal that gives you a lot of value for the money.
If need more tools than you get in the 4pc set, consider this deal:

This Milwaukee M18 Fuel 7-tool cordless power tool combo kit is back down to $849. It’s a recurring seasonal special buy, and always an unbeatable value.
For that price, you get a hammer drill, impact driver, circular saw, Sawzall reciprocating saw, angle grinder, impact wrench, flashlight, 2x 5Ah batteries, charger, and 2x tool bags.
As another alternative:
Buy a Milwaukee M18 Starter Kit, Get a FREE Tool – $199
Buy a Milwaukee M18 FUEL Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit, Get a FREE Tool – $399
If you start off with the 2-tool combo kit, you can get the same hammer drill, impact driver, and I believe the same angle grinder. Then you can get 2x of the starter kits, one with an M18 Fuel Sawzall reciprocating saw, and the other with an M18 circular saw, which is a downgrade compared to the M18 Fuel.
However, that brings you to $399 + $199 + $199, or $797, and you end up with a 6-tool kit with downgraded circular saw, no tool bags, no flashlight, but 3x chargers and 4x 6Ah batteries on top of the 2x that are already included in the 2-tool combo kit.
Or, to put it another way, $52 more for the 7-tool combo gets you the upgraded circular saw, flashlight, and tool bag, but also costs you 2x chargers and 4x 5Ah batteries on top of the price difference.
Home Depot also has a new M18 brushed tool combo kit this year, including 9 tools, 2 batteries, charger, and tool bag. This 9pc set is an online-only special buy for $649 right now.

Wow, that is a great deal. Home Depot has these under the radar deals. But they have a special of the day for the Dewalt 13” thickness planer W/ stand. That price is $859, seems like that was $599 not long ago?

That’s how they get you hooked on their PACKOUT system!
Stuart
Yes, and no. A lot of users just want a cordless power tool combo kit, and a convenient way to move it around.
Various power tool and storage bundles have been popular over the years. If you want to expand with more Packout tool storage products, you can. But, you don’t have to.

The packout’s nicer if you’re already in the stackables – the “real way” they get you is as the number of tools goes up the chance you need ALL of them goes down.
Still a darn good deal, and for Fuel.
(I still have a soft spot for those bags; unlikely to ever buy one separately but they’re darn good and strong.)

“Or, to put it another way, $52 more for the 7-tool combo gets you the upgraded circular saw, flashlight, and tool bag, but also costs you 2x chargers and 4x 5Ah batteries on top of the price difference.”
~$300 worth of batteries is worth a lot more than an upgraded skilsaw. The antique light and bag are filler with no value IMO. Using this combo with just two batteries is gonna suck.
I also found an option three. Buy the 2833-20 Fuel saw for $229 which comes with a free 8Ah Forge instead of one of the starter kits. Gets you a Fuel saw and a sidegrade from two old school batteries to one modern one with higher capacity.
