What's a good price for the Milwaukee 2848-20-48-59-1852B?
All 5 prices we've recorded from Oct 25, 2022 to Oct 26, 2026 are $199, so $199 is the price that keeps coming back. A price below $199 would be the lowest we've recorded. A price above it is above everything we've recorded, and our rubric gives a price above an item's usual range a D or an F.
The Home Depot shows a 'was' price of $566. That price isn't in our records, so it earns no credit: we ignore it and grade the real price.
The grade also weighs what other stores charge and who's selling it. How we grade.

Home Depot lists the kit at $566, which we don't treat as a real selling price. The same kit sold for $199 at Home Depot on Oct 25, 2022, Oct 28, 2023, Oct 21, 2024 and Nov 28, 2024.
These are our own records, not a live price lookup. Prices as of Oct 26, 2026; the deal page has the current price.
The lesson
Skip past the $566 tag; nobody pays that. Home Depot has had this kit at $199 almost every fall since 2022: Oct 25, 2022, Oct 28, 2023, and Oct 21 and Nov 28, 2024. That makes $199 its usual best, not a new low, and a price that keeps coming back is a Wait. Two 5Ah batteries and a charger with a tire inflator for $199 is still a good way into M18, so buy it now only if you need the batteries now.
