I'm considering using an employee discount from a friend whose husband works in a leadership role at Milwaukee. As a new homeowner, I've already bought most of what I need, but I've got my eye on a few tools that don't go on sale often, like the M12 pruning shears. I'm unsure what kind of discount or limitations might be involved and feel a bit awkward asking for more details. Has anyone used a Milwaukee employee discount before, and how does it stack up against the usual sales and hacks you might find?

I’ve heard that employee discounts may not always be as good as the hack deals you find online. However, the upside is access to a wider variety of tools that might not go on sale often. Just ask for specifics on what the discount covers!
You should definitely use the discount! You might find some tools that are hard to get at a good price otherwise. Plus, you have the advantage of getting ahead of any sales that might pop up later!
From my experience, I usually get Dewalt tools at about 20% off for power tools and 40% off for other items at wholesale pricing. Milwaukee is likely in the same range, so it might be a decent deal! Just be sure to check what tools you have in mind before diving in.
