Over at Home Depot, they started carrying a special Milwaukee M12 cordless tool kit for Father’s Day. The combo comes with Milwaukee’s M12 jobsite radio (2590-20), and a free 1/4″ hex screwdriver (2401-20).
The special combo, model 2590-20P, comes with a single 1.5Ah Li-ion battery pack and a charger, and is priced at $99. The radio is typically priced at $99 by itself and the cordless screwdriver ~$74, making this a pretty good deal.

No, the screwdriver isn’t the latest and greatest FUEL brushless screwdriver. And no, the radio isn’t as well-featured as Milwaukee’s latest M18 bluetooth radio. But for $99, you get a good radio and a convenient screwdriver with quick-change chuck and adjustable clutch.

Stuart,
I’m really glad you are offering other methods, ways, and companies to buy the product from. Right now I am so mad at Amazon I could rupture an artery. Don’t want to do that because then you have one less reader. I really look forward to reading all your tool reviews. It is one of the highlights of my day. But lately I see down at the bottom of the tool review and it says ____ Buy from Amazon. I want to go into a conniption fit. Amazon must really be hurting for money. Some of the treatment I’ve been getting from them and some of the ways they have shorted me on reimbursements makes me not want to do business with them ever again. The last stunt they pulled on me way a low life deceitful way to cheat anyone out of money. Thanks again for using other references for purchasing the item from. Instead of always referring to the big “A” word.

Generally, I link to Amazon more because it’s easiest and because that’s where I do much of my own tool purchasing these days.
I also make sure to include model numbers wherever possible so that readers can see if their favorite retailer has better pricing.
If you have issues with Amazon and neither emails or chats are helping, have them call you. The few times I’ve had to do this, they made everything right in no time.

Personally, I view this as a free battery. At the very least, its a 40-50 dollar battery included free with the radio. They throw in so many of these screwdrivers in their combo packs that I have given them away with a old worn out battery.

I just bought a Model # 2407-22, which is a 3/8″ drill, charger and two batteries for $100.
I was about to throw down $70 for two batteries anyway. Seemed like a heck of a deal.

My local Home Depot just marked this combo down to $79.
That was too good of a deal to pass up!
