Let’s talk a bit about several Milwaukee power tool accessory and Packout organizer promo bundles that are going on right now.
The first, a hole saw and reciprocating saw blade bundle I already posted about, is promo-priced from the start, but the others are regular SKUs at a 50% discount compared to their regular prices.
I never expressed interest in these bundle assortments due to their high pricing, but at 50% off they’re very good bargains.

I recently wrote about this Milwaukee Hole Dozer and reciprocating saw blade bundle, but it’s worth a second mention.
This deal is no longer available for online purchasing, but I expect it to come back online soon. Given that no other retailer is even listing this set right now, it’s likely intended as a surprise Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal. It seems to be a very good deal for what you get.
Check back soon!
Update 11/12/20: This is back in stock with free shipping!
Price: $50

Some of you asked for a Milwaukee Shockwave screwdriver bit set deal that included more 2″ power bits and fewer 1″ bits. Well, try this one – it’s got plenty of power bits and in a range of Phillips, square, and Torx sizes.
You get a 100pc impact-rated bit set and a compact low-profile Packout organizer.
If you consider that the Packout organizer retails for $25, you’re getting a 100pc bit set for just $25. If you could use the organizer, this is a fantastic deal.
You save 50%, or $50 on this deal! This isn’t a case of “let’s mark it to $100 and then really price it at $50, this set was really priced at $100, and the others below were also priced at their actual selling price points.

Here’s what you get in this 100pc Shockwave bit set:
Next up, this Milwaukee 10pc Hole Dozer hole saw set and Packout tool box bundle is on sale for $65.
You get some big hole saw sizes in this set too – 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 3-5/8″, and 4-1/4″, plus two arbors and extra pilot bits. It’s bundled in a compact Packout organizer.

Remember, the tools come inside the Packout cases. If you need bins for this size organizer, they can be found online for $6.
Lastly, the Milwaukee 9pc Big Hawg carbide hole saw and Packout tool case kit is on sale for $100.
With this set you get one less smaller-sized hole saw compared to the 10pc set that’s priced at $140 to $180 at other sellers right now, and no diamond file. For added context, Milwaukee’s 8pc set with similar contents is priced at $190.
This seems like a very good deal on these carbide hole saws.

As an aside the socket set inserts are now starting to show up as available for order.

It looks to be backordered everywhere, but supposedly coming soon. I don’t know why Milwaukee’s page is down (your link is fine).
Here’s the listing on Acme Tools until their page is fixed.
I guess these are for users who want to switch from the current cases to the Packout? Or for in-drawer layouts?

It lets you take the two socket sets and a low profile organizer and make https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Hand-Tools/Mechanics-Tools/48-22-9486 out of it. Really nice if you already have one (or both).

I was debating and finally ordered the bit set. It’s kind of an odd pairing since it’s just a regular packout box and the bits will be loose in there. I wish milwaukee would make a packout tray that held a couple rows of their bit holder inserts (like their regular bit cases have).
Tom D
I honestly prefer them loose – I have a hell of a time getting them out of the stupid cases.
Stuart
There’s no working solution for Packout bit organization yet, and although inserts might have been possible, it might have come down to giving customers inserts or the bins that normally ship with the organizer.

Milwaukee has always been a little overpriced. When they do discounts, it really doesn’t phase them at all.
dave
For those of us that served, we get a discount on top of the sale. 🙂
The rolling thing was also on sale.

I ordered the Hole Dozer hole saw set. FedEx said it was delivered Friday. It wasn’t. I am supposed to call Home Depot if I don’t have it by Tuesday.
Anybody know if this is going to go smooth?
Tom D
It should. The dirty secret is FedEx ground will have drivers report things “delivered” if they think they can get around to it later to make their numbers look better – and they’ll come back later or even off the clock to drop it off. Hence the “wait until Tuesday” part – but if it never arrives HD should make you whole.

Those big hawg’s are great. It’d be even cooler if they made a packout kit with all the sizes in it. I like using the 6” one for installing recessed lights. No fear of bending the saw up through multiple ceiling materials like metal lathe or nails. The carbide lasts forever so plaster is no problem either.
I once forgot my rotary hammer setup for installing a radon mitigation system. I had to go through brick siding. The big hawg on a non-hammer drill made it through and didn’t destroy the hole saw. Took a while but it was faster then driving back and forth to get my proper tools

Looks like this $20 off at International Tool no longer works. Can anyone confirm? I’ve tried adding a few Milwaukee products to the cart (particularly that Big Hawg kit), but no discount showed up. Don’t know if the $20 off is over or just doesn’t apply to these kits now.
Stuart
It looked to have expired a couple of days ago, and I don’t know if (or when) they’ll bring it back.
I saw it in my cart one night, woke up and checked and it was done. Sorry, I’ll update the post.
Christopher T. Haley
Wish I’d noticed it sooner. That was a great deal. Still a pretty good deal at $100, but a no-brainer at $80. Thank for these great posts and fast replies; I always enjoy the site, but it’s invaluable this time of year!
Stuart
You’re welcome, and thank you!
I checked to see if it’s eligible for other promos right now. CPO has 11% off select items but doesn’t carry this set at all. Zoro has a buy more save more deal, but has the regular price of $200.
