Why We Love This Deal
Walmart is carving out a niche for itself as the spot to shop for Milwaukee products. Just in the past couple of weeks, the retailer has showcased banner discounts on a Milwaukee bit set, M12 batteries, and a tool bag, among others. Today, Walmart is beating even the big box hardware stores with a massive markdown on a bestselling Milwaukee M18 battery starter kit.
Milwaukee’s M18 Redlithium XC5.0 Battery Starter Kit is on sale for $140, a 65% discount from its normal price of $397. Not only is that a huge markdown, it’s the best price on this kit we could find anywhere on the internet—it even beats The Home Depot, which has it listed at $199.
