Yes. This deal is hackable. You can choose to return the battery or the tool for a prorated refund, or you can pick store pickup on the item you don't want at another HD and never pick it. up. That item will get canceled after 7 days and you get your prorated refund on that item.

Prices of some of the tools after battery return:
Router: $78.27
Angle Grinder: $81.84
Jigsaw: $88.38 <— equivalent to half off original price

Ryobi has LOTS of tools & claim their 18v batteries will on MOST of them & they say they don't plan on changing battery size/battery design for years to come (and I tend to believe them).

Ridgid makes great cordless tools. And a bonus in regard to their batteries is that they supposedly warrant the batteries for "life'' (supposedly the only catch is that the batterys must be registered by the owner on their website).

Also, I think (perhaps someone with experience can deny/verify this) the owner must incur the cost of shipping the old/dead batteries to Ridgid. So basically, for jumping through a few hoops (and a handful of $ for shipping) it seems new batteries won't ever need to be purchased.

And in regard to Milwaukee tools, they are seemingly the most expensive... BUT they also seem to have the largest selection of cordless tools.

DeWalt also makes many quality cordless tools & were, if memory serves correctly, were one of the first to offer a cordless drill MANY years ago. They are also pricey (like Milwaukee) but are always a solid purchase.

I could write more buy I'm typing this on a painfully small 4 inch phone screen. : (

If you're a DIY guy then you can't go wrong with any of them. If I had to start into a new system I would go with Ryobi just because the add-on cost is much lower and I'm not using these tools professionally. A good example is my old pneumatic Brad nailer met an untimely death a few months ago, I'm heavy into the Milwaukee M18 line so it's a no brainer to get the cordless M18 nail gun. That gun goes between $250-$300 depending on sales, the Ryobi is usually just over $100 tool only and $150 with the bigger battery. Just something to consider if you're starting out fresh.

FYI (for those that have enough batteries) - last week I bought the Makita rear handle circular saw kit that came with two free 5.0AHR batteries fro $250. Both items showed up on the invoice so I was able to return the batteries for around $100. So in the end I got the saw/two batteries/charger/bag for $160 tax included (I already have plenty of batteries).

Mentioning this because I have an eye on the multi-tool and even though they cranked the price up to $119 from $99 you can get it for $75 if you can return this battery kit.

Any comments if the 599 bundle is a good deal with the 2 free tools?

Ive looked and looked and no idea where you can get a live chat. please share some wisdom
Hey man. Seems there is no actual link to live chat. However, I think I found a way to get to the 'button' that will enable it.

Here's what I did. Go to this link:

https://www.homedepot.com/c/customer_service

I am on an Android phone/Chrome browser & so I had to go to settings & choose 'Desktop View'.

I scrolled down the page & then in less than about 1 minute, the 'floating' LIVE CHAT 'button' then shows up on the lower right side of the browser window.

If it doesn't show up, you MAY need to add something to your cart & try again. Good luck!

PS: please let all of us know if it worked (or didn't work).👍

Totally agree. If money is at all a concern then go with Ryobi for homeowner/DIY. I have DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Ryobi, Bosch... all of them work similarly for basic tasks but higher cost brands will have better ergonomics and durability for example if you drop them.

That being said, you can get a diverse set of tools if you go with Ryobi for the same price as a basic set of Milwaukee/Dewalt/Etc. If you don't mind the multiple platforms, you can always get the higher end everyday tools such as drill/driver/saws... and then go with Ryobi for the obscure tools (nailer, dremel, multi-tool, etc.)

Seriously thank you so much for pointing this out. I just ordered the combo with the router. Sent the router to my local home depot and sent the drill and battery to another store.

Seriously can't thank you enough

Might be if you don't have any of the tools or plan to give some away to people who are starting out.

For reference, I have mostly Dewalt tools but I picked up a Milwaukee 21 deg M18 framing nailer (paid full price, its new and I needed it) a few months back - so I have an XC5 AH battery... when the $199 deals came out I did the hack for the wet/dry vac (it sucks, I love it), a drywall screw gun, and a router - tools I didn't have in my Dewalt tool set that I'd never be using at the same time as the nailer. Ended up with the Router for $100, screw gun for $90, and Vac for $70, and returned the batteries.

I'd only bite on this if they really have a free tool you need for Milwaukee and are going to play the return the batteries game. Batteries themselves are barely worth $100. If you want batteries HD has much better options than the very old 4.0 XC batteries.

Two high output compact 3.0 batteries for $99
Two high output 6.0 batteries for $180
Two high output compact 3.0 and two high output 6.0 for $260
One high output 12.0 and one high output 8.0 for $199

Thanks! Just picked up 18M Fuel Hackzall and batteries. As first time Milwaukee tool user, I needed batteries so this was great deal for me.

Quote from jayroze619 :
DeWalt or Milwaukee for handheld blower?? I think the dewalt would be better since it comes with battery, charger and driver?? Still need the batteries for each so which one would be a better deal?
Interested in other's opinions on this one as well. I have nothing associated with the 3 platforms here. I'm into the M12 platform for basic home use; and have enough of those for my simple needs.

Which is the best value in getting battery(s), charger and a blower in this deal? Not averse to doing a partial return for refund, +rep if you can explain the best hackable deal in here for the blower.
TIA!
