Gen4 is here. Gen3 are going to be discounted moving forward. Kits are great (and, typically the better deal), but sometimes you have batteries and just need a replacement tool.
I haven't seen this posted yet and thought it looked attractive for a stand-alone item.
Standard hack option. Get the gen3 driver for $67.10.
The CP3.0 (high output) battery is the free item and comes to $61.90 in case you were looking for one of those rather than the tool.
Other tools are also available, such as the fuel hammer drill for ~$99, but I thought this was pretty decent for a spare driver.

Just what the world needs, Milwaukee Gen4. LOL.
These power tool companies, especially Dewalt and Milwaukee, are out of control with the number of different lines, models, generations, etc. that they are trying to push at consumers.
Sorry, I digress, back to the deal...
"Free Gift with Purchase
This Deal Has Sold Out"
Edit: Looks like you can ship to two different Home Depot stores in one order. Pickup the driver at your store, ship the battery to another store and let them cancel when you don't pick it up?

Odd, I just checked again and it still shows as available. I wonder if these deals are starting to become regional (I'm in Nashville). I saw the "deal has sold out" very quickly on the impact/hammer/drill bit @ $199 set yesterday (but I think many others did too).

For others....
If this is your first time looking at hacks again, I'll be gentle.
For all those who read this....it's "hack 2.0" time.
Correct, you can no longer choose ship to home + pick up at store. But you have several options to still return part of this type of "Free Tool with Purchase" order. You can change the "pickup store" for every piece of the order and call them to cancel or not pick it up. Alternatively, just ship the entire thing to home and then go return a portion.

What is your alternative?
I definitely do not want them to do like they've done with corded tools and ceased all innovations for the last 20 years.
I just noticed the driver and the hammer drill...but I am sure there are more...or likely to be additional tools in the future as the Gen4s roll out.

Even when they come out with new battery technology, it is still the same platform and can still be used on those first tools.
As far as tool generations...are they supposed to just never innovate or improve products? Sure phone models every year are dumb, but these tools it's usually 4-5 years between generations, doubt theres many using a first gen smartphone.
Also, I'm fine with upgrades so long as there is actually a useful modification/improvement. When they start offering a "new" product with a slightly different font + 5% extra hand grip material and rebrand as Gen5 though...............
