I'm in charge of multiple crews in the general construction industry, and I'm looking to upgrade their tool sets from Rigid to Milwaukee/Milwaukee Fuel tools. Unfortunately, buying individual tools or even preselected sets has been quite pricey, and the sets often lack the tools my crews actually need. I'm considering buying sets and selling off the extras, but that sounds like a hassle. I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows of reliable sources where I can purchase larger sets to save some money while avoiding unnecessary tools.

Definitely talk to a dealer or a supply house. They can usually order just the tools you want and might give you a quantity discount if you're buying enough units. Also, swing by the Pro desk at your local Home Depot; they often provide discounts for bulk orders too.
I've seen a couple of options that might help. Some people buy return pallets where tools are mixed in quality—some are great, others might not be. In my area, there are shops that sell working tools where you can actually test them out on-site before you commit to buying. Might be worth checking out!
How much do I need to buy at Home Depot to ask for a discount?
