Deal Details
I believe this is an error on HD when they included 2 5AH batteries instead of just 1 4AH battery when compare to other similar tool/trimmer.
HACKABLE: trimmer $65 and 2 5AH $93 (if you want that route)
The trimmer is an online item only, so you must have it ship to home/store

The trimmer is showing $177 for me. What am I missing?

You have to add the free gift. Instead of a single battery, it adds a 2-pack of 5Ah batteries to the cart. But I'm seeing $177 total, not $159. In the cart, the batteries show a price of about $100 while the trimmer is about $77.

Not an electrician but why would anyone want an 18V trimmer when there are 30, 40, 60V ones?

Because we already have 18v batteries? and don't have 30, 40, 0r 60v ones?

As one that has this trimmer- because it works well and I'm already invested in the batteries. I grabbed it instead of the Stihl gas powered trimmer every time this season. However, it's more for occasional use and not geared for someone that spends a lot of quality time with their trimmer.

I've always wanted to try this free gift hack. Let's see how it works. I placed the trimmer order which was ship to store, added 2 pack of 5ah batteries which were in stock at the store. And I already picked up the batteries. Will wait for trimmer to arrive and either ignore that until they automatically refund or I'll cancel the order if that doesn't happen. Usual instructions state to ship one item to one store and the other item to another store but they closed that loophole and now force to ship to same place. I hope this works because 2 brand new 5ah batteries for $99 is a slick deal for sure!

Edit: And repped!

You can have both items shipped to different stores. The one you don't want (trimmer) you can just call and cancel, or frankly, don't do anything and they will put back on the shelf.

Thank you. My HD app and their web site force me to choose one store, so no splitting stores for me. But in this case the batteries were in stock so I picked them up. Then today, after what feels like a month, they canceled the trimmer. So it looks like I got 2 5.0mah batteries for $99. FTW!
