Acme Tools is running a promotion that gives shoppers a free Milwaukee M18 battery or bare tool with the purchase of select M18 FUEL items, with savings of up to $199 depending on the free item chosen. The deal runs through November 1st, and it applies to a range of grinders, saws, drills, and other power tools currently listed on the retailer’s site.
The offer works by adding one of the qualifying tools to your cart. Once that’s done, you can pick one of three free items: an M18 FUEL 3/8 in. Compact Impact Wrench with a friction ring (a $199 value), an M18 FUEL 4-1/2 in./5 in. Grinder (also $199), or an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC 6.0Ah battery pack, which is valued at $169.
Qualifying purchases range from the M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Router at $369 to the M18 FUEL 1 in. High Torque Impact Wrench with One-Key at $899. Other eligible tools include the M18 FUEL Deep Cut Band Saw ($399), the M18 FUEL 9 in. Cut-Off Saw with One-Key ($679), and the M18 FUEL 10 Gauge Nibbler ($799).

Which tools are included in the free battery deal
The full list covers 15 Milwaukee M18 FUEL tools. Several grinders are included, such as the 4-1/2 in./5 in. Braking Grinder at $279 and the 7 in. Variable Speed Braking Grinder at $379. There are also two random orbital polishers — a 15mm model at $329 and a 21mm version at $349 — plus a 7 in. Variable Speed Polisher at $329.
Rotary hammer users can qualify with the M18 FUEL 1-1/8 in. SDS Plus Rotary Hammer with One-Key, priced at $479. The M18 FUEL Super Hawg 1/2 in. Right Angle Drill at $449 is also part of the promotion, as is the M18 FUEL 4-1/2 in.-6 in. Variable Speed Braking Grinder with paddle switch and One-Key at $329.
For someone already invested in Milwaukee’s M18 platform, the battery option is probably the smarter grab. A 6.0Ah HIGH OUTPUT pack typically runs over $150 on its own, and having a spare on hand removes the usual mid-project charging pause. The free tool choices make sense if you don’t already own a compact impact wrench or a standard grinder.
How the free tool option works at checkout
Shoppers don’t need a coupon code to get the discount. The free item is applied automatically when a qualifying tool is added to the cart, according to the promotion details on Acme Tools’ website. The free item’s value is then deducted from the total at checkout.

The promotion is valid through November 1st, so there’s a limited window to take advantage of it. Acme Tools hasn’t indicated whether the offer will be extended, and stock on some of the higher-end tools like the cut-off saw and nibbler could be limited.
One thing worth checking before you order: confirm the free item appears in your cart before completing the purchase. Promotions like this sometimes require the free item to be added manually, even when the site says it’s automatic. If the discount doesn’t show up, it’s worth contacting customer service rather than assuming the system caught it.
The deal gives both new and existing Milwaukee users a chance to pad out their kit without paying full price for accessories. For anyone who’s been eyeing a M18 FUEL grinder or rotary hammer anyway, the free add-on effectively drops the total cost of entry.
