Deal Details
Ok so this involves the infamous Home Depot " Hack" Have seen a few naive people here that have convinced themselves that this "hack" is fraudulent and we're all committing sins and likely will go to hell when we die. To all you folks, you failed to realize Home Depot has been offering this hack for years, and they still continue to this day have that option available. If this was not intentional and they're losing tons of money on people utilizing the hack, they'd shut it down ASAP, cancel all orders that hacked them and send warning messages along with the cancellation email. Yet they've done nothing of the sorts, but continue to still offer it. What does that hell you then? Sorry guys had to get that out of the way .

This hack is just like the test of them add the 3 tool combo drill, driver and wrench to your cart.
Im doing so, you should get a popup that says you get a free tool, takes you a page with 4 listed tools for you to choose from, pick the $149 Ratchet and click add both to cart.
Then if you go to your cart, you'll see the adjusted price of $253.70 for the 3 tool combo.
The key here is to select to have the 3 tools shipped to your home, it's free. Then select to have the ratchet picked up in store. If it's not available at your store, you can pick one that I'd available there.
Then checkout and pay for both, but right after that go back into your online account and cancel the ratchet. Just wait for your 3 tools to be shipped.
Normally just the stubby alone with battery and charger is around $250, here you're betting an extra battery, Fuel Impact Hammer Drill and Fuel Impact Driver for free basically. You can sell the drill & driver for $70-100/each depending on whether you're including the batteries and charger or not. End up paying like $50-70 for the Stubby. The listings on Fleabay that selling an open box/new, some might have done this hack as well, that's been me quite a few times.

Here's what your cart should look like :

Happy shopping!

I understand now .
I just need driver/drill tools. I prefer 18V ryobi over 12V milwaukee. And looks like 18V ryobi tools are cheaper than 12V milwaukee tools.
If you are a professional, I would go with Milwaukee, but the Ryobi 18v is plenty for the home DIYer. No need to spend the extra cash for something that isn't going to get used all day everyday

What's the hype with that stubby that makes it so expensive beside it being small and under-powered?

Some folks like me are looking for a lightweight, high quality, and reliable tool for jobs that don't require much power. I'm mainly working on scooters, why should i get a powerful heavy duty impact wrench?!

I tried the M12 Stubby in real application and it is not actually much more powerful than an impact driver! It is compact but the Ryobi P261 impact wrench (the brushed model) beat it by far which was a surprise to me because the claimed torques were not that different (300 vs 250). It couldn't even bust a 120ftlb lug nut with 2ah battery. Just use a socket adapter on M12 impact driver if you are not gonna do heavy duty stuff. Otherwise, go for M18. Extra $115 for Stubby compared to $138 two tool deal is not worth it imo.

I get it, it's definitely something to consider.

The 2ah isn't going to provide enough oomph for the stubby. You need to use the 4ah battery.

Did you use your ryobi with a 9aH vs. the M12 2.0 with 1 bar of juice left?

Did this to the letter and the site will NOT let me cancel just the ratchet. I have never been able to get the hack even one time. I thought that maybe this time would be different, waste of time for me.....again!
If you get it delivered to store either pick it up and return it immediately or just don't pick it up after like 10 days of not picking it up it cancels.

Can I reverse this so that I get the ratchet? So I would keep the ratchet and cancel the 3 tool combo

Does anyone know if they would they let me exchange the 3/8 impact with the 1/2? All my impact sockets are 1/2"
I don't know, but I did the adapter on mine and works great.

The m12 stubby busted the 100ft lb lugs on my car without breaking a sweat.

But why are you comparing an 18-volt impact wrench to a 12 volt one?

That Ryobi is like twice the length of the M12 stubby. The point of the stubby is to get into places that a normal impact wrench like that massive Ryobi can't. That's a massively important detail that you can't just brush past...

Do the reverse. Order what you WANT to keep, to the store - and ship to home the ratchet. Then, cancel the ratchet.

edit: lmao not sure why the downvote. This is how I've always done the hack, and it's worked for me.

All I need is the 3/8" stubby as I have these other tools. Wish there was a way to cancel the items within the bundle. I remember some previous hacks allowed you to keep just the tool(s) you wanted.
