This one has been reviewed by youtubers as being quieter and more airflow than the older fan.
Oh yeah, add $15 shipping to that $20 cheapest ever price on DTO for an actual cost of $35 for the old fan. I know I paid about $25 around 4 years ago (for refurb as well, not new) on what I thought was almost the cheapest they had it. (It's $45 + $15 shipping right now = $60).
Therefore this deal for brand new in box; not refurb; with the 2x 4AH non-HP newer batteries is really not that terrible -- if you need the batteries. But there are more valuable tools to get as the free tool instead of the fan with this offer.

DTO usually has free pick up. The closest one to me is 20 minutes away, so I just tell them to send it there, and sometimes they'll just go ahead and send it directly to me instead of shipping it to the store.
It's not a hack. It's been going on for years and HD is well aware of it.
During the Ryobi deals, if you buy 2 items to get the reduced price, HD prorates the price of each item.
You buy the battery pack for local pickup, then your tool for shipping. You have 15 minutes to cancel the shipping order, but you get to keep the prorated price on the batteries. Or you can do the opposite, order the item you want for shipping, and the item you don't want for store pickup. Just don't pick it up, and HD will cancel the pickup item after 2 weeks.
Obviously why they run these deals so cheap is to get people into the system. So you have batteries and that one tool you need and the next time you need a tool... Which there's nothing wrong with. But seems they've decided they don't like the "hack" anymore and instead of one battery and pick a tool they are now listing each set individually. ALL the same tools are still available, including the $200 brushless with 2A,4A,6A hicap. And have been at this price for months. People keep reposting though even though there has been no price change.

There's a few that are still "hackable" like that nail gun with batteries but didn't look like much else

i guess this comes in several packages.
anyone know?
Other than that, the thing moves more air than I was originally expecting. I guess I'll try and exchange it for one that doesn't scrub.

Let me know if your next one has the same noise please! I may try the same when I get a chance to get back to the store

Tool:
Brushed, Brushless, Brushless with extra HP contacts (only a few have this so far)
Battery:
Non-HP 18650 cells (low amp vs. high amp), HP w/extra contacts with 21700 cells
Thus:
Brushed tool + Low amp non HP batteries = lowest amount of power; not just runtime
Brushless tool w/extra contacts + high amp HP battery w/extra contacts = highest amount of power
Everything else in between varies based on type of battery and tool design and may feel only minorly improved. Compare the extremes and you will usually actually notice the difference then.
