Unfortunately, DTO doesn't work that way. 40% off one day could really mean 60% off last week's prices but 20% off next week's prices. If that doesn't make sense then you're right because neither does their pricing....ever.
Ah, DTO -- where tools are wacky priced every week.

One week it's 60% off, the next is 40% off, the next is Buy One Get A Free Toupee, etc. And since they change the base price of the tools more than a women's clothing store, that 35% off sale might be a "better deal" than the 60% -- or exactly the same.

Their shipping would be worth $7-14 --- if they protected the tools. They're just thrown loose into brown cardboard. I've had stuff broken, DOA, etc because of their carelessness. And turnaround time between ordering and actually getting it? Could be as short as 3-5 days or 3-5 weeks. Hope you don't need it anytime soon!

To be fair, I've gotten a bunch of tools from them, and for like 75% of them I'm happy. But when it goes wrong, it's not worth the few dollars savings. Go to Home Depot and get it in person. DTO is only good if you're looking for a specific X tool at $D price point, and it happens to hit those conditions.
Say what you will about DTO pricing games but all the best deals iv got on Ryobi tools have come from these random sales.

so ... 7.5 x 5 = 37.5

so this is only better than 50% plus $15 if you're spending less than $37.50

but this lessens the risk if you order multiple items to mitigate shipping cost, and they decide to send only one.

and look at the low-priced items with 70-90% discount ...

This doesn't seem bad for $42.50. $129.00 @ Home Depot.

Picked up a 40v 16" brushless chainsaw with battery and charger for under $200 shipped.
Maybe not a screaming deal, but pretty good. Gonna come in handy this summer. Thanks OP.
