You have to return the free tool to get the price down to $241.55. Price is still $399 at checkout.

With this deal you can get the brushless impact wrench for $157. Not a bad deal for a Makita.

Any reason not to return impact wrench and just use an adapter with the impact driver?

The wrench seems overkill for an average DIYer, no?

The impact wrench is so expensive now. Used to be $137 on amazon a month back.

That xwt14 is definitely punching above its weight.

The impact driver and drill in this kit is overkill for the average DIYer.

Much better. Check out torque test channel on the model against red and yellow.

Makita Is considered a step above the red and yellow but it never has any good deals making red and yellow better bang for buck.

Never tried this return hack. Are you not supposed to have one shipped to home and the other a store pickup

Makita always has good deals. Dewalt's probably been the worst for battery deals that past few years and they're a bit stingier with their Home Depot promos in general, at least outside of Xmas season. With Makita you basically get free batteries with the 36V saw kits and they run the promo every other quarter.

Dewalt hasn't had much outside of a clearance string trimmer deal that Fastenersinc ran a couple months ago.

This. Long time Makita user here. Love my tools, but I have probably 4 or 5 fewer things than I would for the same price as red or yellow
