The Hack
The hack is simple. You buy a promo deal which you get a free tool or battery. There are different ways to do the hack. Pick up at the store, online, or a combination of both. You keep one of the items and the other item is subtracted automatically (if you did not pick it up) or return the item.
The Hack Example:
The M18 ($219) is the key to the hack. It is a promotional item. You have to select that in your cart. The battery ($139) is a free item. It shows you in the cart with the return value based on the zip code of the Home Depot (zip code example 43065) you select.
$133.97 + $85.03 = $219 plus your state sales tax. If you received it in the mail return the item to Home Depot and they will subtract the one you didn't want. If you didn't pick it up Home Depot will subtract the item after a certain time (they will let you know in the email). That is the Hack. Tool Boss on YouTube Channel can explain it better. I cannot provide the link due to the Slick Deals policy.

Btw, are brushed impact wrenches known to lose impact power over time as they're used and the internals wear down and the battery gradually loses max power?
However, I did come across some videos you may find useful:
This one [youtu.be] shows a guy's setup comparing Gen 1 and 2, with the 2 clocking in at about 628 ft-lbs with a fully charged 5Ah battery.
Here [youtube.com]'s a real-world test removing something that was torqued down at 650 ft-lbs.
Is your Craftsman battery-powered?
I appreciate it. Yes, it was quite sickening to see everything gone through and stuff missing.
