Home Depot is bundling a free M12 3/8-inch ratchet with the Milwaukee M12 FUEL HACKZALL reciprocating saw kit right now, dropping the combo to $199.
List price on the two tools separately runs close to $359. That’s a two-tool deal for less than the saw alone usually costs during a sale.
What’s in the Box
- Milwaukee M12 FUEL HACKZALL reciprocating saw (2520-20), POWERSTATE brushless motor
- M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0Ah extended capacity battery
- M12 charger
- Tool bag
- Bonus: M12 3/8-inch ratchet (2457-20), normally sold separately for around $99
The kit is listed under model 2520-21XC-2457-20 at Home Depot. Milwaukee’s spec sheet credits the FUEL HACKZALL with meaningfully more run time and faster cutting than the brushed version it replaced.
Exact SPM and stroke length aren’t published on the retail listing, so check the manufacturer page if you need those numbers before buying.
Why This Deal Stands Out
A one-handed reciprocating saw and a compact ratchet cover two different jobs. The saw handles plumbing and electrical demo. The ratchet handles tight-clearance fastening.
They rarely get bundled together. Milwaukee and other brands run free-tool promos constantly, but most pair a saw with another saw or a driver with another driver. This one crosses categories.
That’s worth flagging even for shoppers who don’t strictly need a HACKZALL today. If you’re already on the M12 platform, the ratchet alone is close to half the deal’s value.
The M12 Platform Angle
M12 is Milwaukee’s compact 12V line, built for one-handed work in tight spaces rather than heavy demo. A HACKZALL and a ratchet are both classic M12 picks: light, fast to swap in and out of a bag, and useful daily for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.
If you want more reach than the bundled 2457-20 ratchet offers, Milwaukee’s extended-reach ratchets add up to several extra inches for engine bays and recessed fasteners.
How to Shop It
Milwaukee is Home Depot’s exclusive U.S. retail channel, so this isn’t showing up on Amazon at this price.
Confirm the kit number, 2520-21XC-2457-20, at checkout. Home Depot lists several HACKZALL bundles side by side, and it’s easy to grab the wrong one without the ratchet included.
