Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank CroVlado

If you don't need the battery can get it for 107.61 by selecting the battery as a free gift and returning the battery. Just look for the product that shows a "free tool" with it.

Edit: or 104.76 if you select the impact driver instead and return it.

Does this work the other way as well? I need the battery, not the tool. Curious if the same rules apply

Yes. The battery price will be different to the tool.

Warning: These combo deals are directly shipped from Milwaukee Tools and they are out of stock on batteries for shipping but ship just the tool anyways with UPS creating problems if you pick ship to home. No batteries show up with the delivery and both Home Depot online and Home Depot stores are outright declining to fulfill the battery part of the order although they have some of these batteries lying around resulting in a full order cancelation.

This vacuum moves 50 cfm, which is decent, but if you need more suction then consider the Milwaukee 6 gallon shop vac that moves 87 cfm. I been able get by with 5 Ah batteries, but the 8 Ah is your friend. Also, the 6 gallon shop vac is a big fatty if space is an issue.

Why do you say this? I ordered this a few weeks ago and it comes straight from Home Depot. I have ordered many of these deals with batteries and ALL from Home Depot.

I was leaning toward ridgid, but decided on big red, since I got the batteries to Fuel it. Haha, see what I did there?
