Right now, you can grab some great-value combos. The Home Depot is an authorized Milwaukee retailer, so you can trust you're getting a genuine Milwaukee product with a factory warranty. If you buy a two-pack of [M12 XC High Output 5.0 Ah batteries]() (charger included), you can get an [M12 3/8-inch drive power ratchet]() for nothing. I have the slightly longer version of that very tool myself, and it rocks—I was just using it yesterday to get the bolts off my International Scout's hood. Don't need a power ratchet? Well, that's not your only option! Buy those batteries and pick from seven different free Milwaukee tool options, worth as much as $229. [Need M18 tools and batteries]() instead of M12s? Those are on sale too! Grab a [Milwaukee M18 1/2-inch drive impact gun]() and get a [5.0 Ah M18 18-volt battery]() to run it for zilch. Again, another tool I have in my personal arsenal and absolutely love. Shop [THD's Milwaukee deals page]() to see all your choices. *Prices and promos were accurate at the time of publication but may change after the fact.
