I've noticed some pretty wild price discrepancies at Home Depot for Milwaukee tools, like the M18 Fuel hammer drill. For instance, in Florida, the drill was 18% cheaper compared to prices in the Midwest. It seems like you can only snag those lower prices if you're physically there to buy it or if you have it shipped to a Florida address. Just the other day, I had the drill in my cart but ended up missing out because the price jumped significantly in my area. Has anyone else seen this kind of pricing inconsistency, and is it a new thing?

This isn't new at all! Each state has different regulations for pricing, and local competition plays a big role too. There's a minimum advertised price (MSRP) that companies can’t go under, but they can definitely charge more. Always good to shop around! You never know where the best deals are hiding.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of Home Depot anymore. Their pricing feels like a race to the bottom, and the customer service isn’t great. I usually prefer Lowe's instead. What do you think?
Yeah, I get that! I've seen the same tool listed at two different prices, sometimes with crazy differences, or one listing might throw in a free battery or accessory. It's worth taking the time to search around on their site to find the best deal before you buy.
Absolutely! I've noticed huge price swings even at Home Depots located just 20 minutes apart. It’s crazy how different the prices can be based on location.
Right? It's like how fast food prices vary too. A burger in California costs way more than in Michigan!
