Thank you to everyone who alerted me to Acme Tools’ Milwaukee Tool flash sale this morning. Well, is it a “flash” sale if it lasts 2 days? Anyway…
Today and tomorrow only (ending 9/28/2017), save $20 on $100+ Milwaukee Tool orders, with coupon code RED2DAY.

The fine print in the email mentions that it’s only valid on qualifying items, but I haven’t found non-eligible ones yet. Shipping is free on $199+ orders.
P.S. Milwaukee Packout tool storage boxes and totes have started to ship.
I added a $100+ Packout item to my order for testing, and the $20 discount worked without a hitch. The shipping wasn’t bad either – $6.49 since it was less than the $199 free shipping threshold.
If you’re taking advantage of this deal, what are you buying?

Offer expires 9-28-17. Valid online only. Must use promo code to receive discount. One promo code per order. Qualifying models will receive discount. Not valid on prior purchases or in conjunction with other offers. We reserve the right to correct errors, limit quantities and terminate any offer at any time.
There’s no mention that you can’t use this coupon code to place multiple orders. Acme Tools also allows for “guest account” ordering. I haven’t tested it yet, but it looks like you *could* be able to place more than one order. If you’re able to test this before I can, please let us know if you can use the promo code for more than one order!

Its an OK deal – but if you are buying a pricey tool – or bundling stuff to qualify for ($199) free shipping it works out to $20 off a minimum of $219 – or just under 10%. to even lower if you spend more.

Good point.
If you buy 2 items at $110 each, the total order is $200 plus tax, or $100 per item plus tax.
If you order separately, and can use the discount twice, it comes to $90 each, plus 6.49 shipping, or $96.49 each, at least given the shipping fees I’ve seen.
I thought they offer flat rate shipping up to $199, but can’t find mention of this at the moment.
The best discount is if you have a Milwaukee item over $100, and a bunch of other stuff you needed to order anyways, to get over that $199 threshold.
This isn’t the best Milwaukee deal I’ve seen, but there were enough different early morning tips via email and comments that I felt compelled to post.

The flat rate ($6,49) shipping used to be displayed prominently on their webpage. it is no longer displayed
Here’s what they say:
“Acme Tools offers great shipping options and rates. We use FedEx/UPS/FedEx SmartPost/SpeeDee for orders less than 150 lbs and ABF/Old Dominion/FedEx Freight/Lakeville/YRC for orders above 150 lbs. Your shipping costs and options are presented during the checkout process.”

Thanks for the coupon code. I ordered an m12 bare caulk gun.
