Over at Acme Tools, they have really good pricing on new Milwaukee M18 cordless power tool and Packout tool box bundles.
First, there’s a compact brushless combo, 2892-22CTPO, featuring:

I wrote about Milwaukee’s latest and greatest M18 FUEL brushless power tools last week.
With this special bundle, 2997-22CXPO, you get the latest M18 Fuel hammer drill, the latest 4-mode brushless impact driver, a 2.0Ah battery pack, a 5.0Ah battery pack, a charger, and a Packout tool box.
This is a very good value, seeing as the combo kit normally sells for $399 (with 2x 5.0Ah batteries) and no Packout tool box.

Combo kit 2997-23PO kit includes the same M18 Fuel hammer drill and impact driver, but adds in an M18 Fuel Hackzall compact reciprocating saw, and a larger Packout tool box with top handle.
Plus, the battery packs are different. With this combo, you get a 5.0Ah battery pack and a new M18 High Output 6.0Ah battery pack.

Combo kit 2697-26PO is a 6 tool combo kit, with compact hammer drill, impact driver, 6-1/2″ circular saw, Hackzall reciprocating saw, oscillating multi-tool, and an LED worklight.
It comes with 3 battery packs – (2) XC 3.0Ah batteries, and (1) 1.5Ah battery pack. Everything is bundled inside a Packout rolling tool box.
Frankly, this deal is worth waiting on, not because the pricing could get better, but because there are bound to be more brushed cordless power tool deals over the next few weeks.
For example, there was a 7-tool combo kit for $359 last year. And right now there’s a 9-tool M18 combo kit priced at $549.

Arghhh, I’m so conflicted! Very tempted to jump in to M18 and get rid of most of my neon green. I’ve been eyeing the Packout deals and think it would be a great way to organize my tools. New cordless tools, let alone a new system, are hard for me to justify right now.
David says
l just bought the $299 M18 Hammer drill/Impact Packout combo this weekend to finally replace my Gen 1 Milwaukee M18 drill. l used it today on a job where l need to drill into concrete. 10 four inch deep holes, went through the concrete like butter and the battery meter didn’t flinch. HIGHLY recommended!
Kenneth Stephens says
toolcraze.com has a new tool article on a Kobalt 24v 7 1/4 miter saw. Is this new, and if so is Lowes not killing of the Kobalt line for the Craftsman line?
Gordon says
So far, there is nothing official about Lowe’s killing off Kobalt. They do seem to be reducing the number of items, like the tool chests.
Jerry says
When will someone put together a Make-Your-Own combo? I have no need for a drill or hammer drill, I just want an impact driver and a ratchet with a charger and batteries!
Stuart says
Dewalt and Amazon tried something like that a few years ago.

Not a lot of tools were eligible for the deal.
Travis says
I received the Packout hammer drill, impact combo this week. Not regretting that one bit! Those tools both have a ton of power and compared to their size, it is amazing. Nice to have the packout with the foam molding for taking them on the road too. Highly recommend!
