Here is my problem. I don't care if you agree or not, but lately it seems that bare tool deals are outnumbering complete tool deals.

I noticed lately that less and less of these threads bother to state "Tool only" in the title or even the body of the OP.

I understand that the picture shows it without the battery, that is not my point. When you buy a cordless tool, it is normal to expect the battery and charger. That is my point.

My deal alerts don't always have pics, and even worse, the mods seem to have stopped adding it in on their FP post update when it is missing in the OP.

I put the info in the wiki for anyone else who might not notice in the picture it is missing the battery and charger and have to waste time clicking through to determine it. I don't think "bare tool only" should be the normal expectation for battery-operated tools now, just because it happens frequently.

Next, for the times these are included, they will be stating how getting a battery and charger is some kind of bonus.

It's all about you. I wasted my time reading yours in case there was a real point, but alas there isn't. I mean for $40 and the picture a reasonable person getting information for free could infer there isn't a battery included. At least in Ryobi you can see they are starting to unbundle in their brushless big time. Is this a trend, idk. I did score a three bare tool Ryobi for a great price and I was happy because these guys sell HP tools without hp batteries in the bundles.

Honest question but what do people use these for besides removing your cars tires? I could see people in the trades using them for more but I wouldn't think they would buy Ryobi.

This tool is not designed to remove/install tires at all, although it might be able to do that for some low torqued lug nuts. For tire removal, you should use an impact wrench. The impact driver was designed to screw and unscrew stuff in a fast and efficient manner.

Oh I looked at the wrong picture thought this was an impact wrench.

You apparently didn't read my point. I can explain it to you again, but I cannot understand it for you.
I don't always get a pic in my emailed deal alerts. The anticipation of a slick deal made this clickbait for me. Why not post the "tool only" statistic in the title? We aren't all in the Ryobi ecosystem already, like you. Why do the OP, AND the Slickdeals FP deal editor presume we are? Bad practice.

Went to Home Depot and couldn't find this impact driver on clearance. However I found the brushless version for $59, is it worth 2x the price for brushless?

If you need one sure, if you don't have a specific higher usage case in mind no.

So brushless simply has higher power? I only need an impact driver for low duty use, so I guess I will return it then.

Whatever you say. Feels nice, but it isn't greener in lower-the-bar land. There is a difference between solicited ads (deal alerts) and misleading ads. My point is these without the pertinent information are misleading. Sorry that you don't get the difference.

Um, no. The vast majority of cordless tools from all of the major manufacturers are sold as "tool only." That is the norm whether you approve or not. And the vast majority of buyers for all but the most common household tools are glad that's the way it is. Why would I want to pay extra to have 30+ 2aH batteries and 30+ chargers? And what would I do with them? (sell them on FB I suppose) It's more cost effective and time-efficient to simply not have to deal with them in the first place.

p.s. This may come as a shock to you, but the guy who has so few tools that he needs a battery and charger to come with each one is not who TI is targeting with a product line that includes 225+ tools.

I see your point. Still, it is pertinent information. The product pages state tool only. They want to avoid confusion.

I suppose it is becoming more the norm, but it does matter, from both sides of the situation. Those with plenty don't want the accessories driving up the cost. Those new or newer to the line need or prefer to have the accessories, so both sides should know. Some would prefer to have spares. You won't please everyone, but you should disclose the detail. That is my point.

Also, batteries wear out and even those with some may need more for established lines they own.
