Why We Love This Deal
It might not be obvious at first glance, but loads of Milwaukee power tools are featured at discounted prices at Walmart right now—everything from spare M18 batteries to entire power tool kits is up for grabs with huge savings. Some of the deepest deals are on the more compact M12 line, including this half-off sale on the brand’s easy-to-use hammer drill.
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hammer Drill (3404-20) is now on sale for just $80, which, despite not appearing as such, is just about 50% off its MSRP of $159, as you’ll see at The Home Depot. This drill is sold as a “bare tool,” which means there’s no battery in the package. The good news—if you don’t already own some M12 batteries—is that you can get an M12 battery on sale for under $40 at Walmart to accompany it.

What if you’re getting this drill just because it has a great price and not for the hypothetical Milwaukee man laid out in the intro? No problem, this is still a great deal. Just make sure you have a Milwaukee bit set and an M12 battery and charger kit, and you’re ready to go.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One user reported that the drill “blows away my mid-sized drills by a lot!” They added that the hammer mode helps get stripped screws out when normal driving just won’t do it.
Another user reported that they “use it every day in my maintenance business,” which checks out, as pros tend to love brushless motors for the long-term lifespan.
The Milwaukee M12 Hammer Drill/Driver 3404-20 is down to $80 but there’s no telling when that price will change. If you’re building out your tool kit, lock in this price while you still can.
