Home Depot: New Milwaukee Quarter 3 promo coming next week

[PJ]

Ok. Here is the skinny. I interrogated a Milwaukee rep today at HD. He called his office and they told him the m12 deal doesn’t “go live” until Aug 17. 

He added that the stores that currently have this deal on display may have to manually change the prices in the POS. 

If that is the case, they may or may not be ringing up as two separate items (for those who prefer that method).

I am surprised they would put out any signage if the deal doesn't start until the 17th?  Seems like it would be a head ache for them but if they don't mind doing the price adjustments?

I wonder what other retailers will participating in this deal.
