It doesn't look free. They charge reduced price for the bar tool & reduced price for the batteries. At least that is how it appeared when I attempted it.

You can choose to look at it as buy the tool at full price and get the batteries free, or buy the bundle and get the equivalent discount prorated across both. Either way, your cost is the same.

You gotta watch these combos like this. Some of them you can get cheaper buying one item and getting the other free. Take batteries at $150 then the recip saw free. Buy recip saw at $140 get batteries free. Etc

Op didn't explain, so I'll explain for those unfamiliar with this hack. Since HD charges you a reduced price like Ron said all you do is return the item you don't want and you'll get refunded that reduced price.

So looking at the dual battery charger, let's say we're going for the batteries, that brings them down to $66.16. Once you receive your items, simply return the charger and you'll get $52.84 back.

Edit: I think I'm gonna pick me up the circular saw, so with the hack I'll pay $74.50

If you are going to post something that requires some explanation... it should be explained.

Select the dual port charger, add both to cart. Pay $119 + tax. Return charger to store once you get it. Now you've paid $66.16 + tax for the batteries.

Other option is to select the tool you really want, and return batteries once you get them, thus reducing the tool by some percentage.

Or keep both and then you got free batteries.

That 6 1/2 circ saw is good deal at $75 w/hack. Its the new 5,000 rpm model. Its light and cuts very well. It beat out all other 6 1/2 including expensive Red in a tool test in terms of power, rip speed..

So, two 2Ah batteries for $66-74.50?

Not very good.

Sounds like a decent deal. So you're going to keep the saw and return the batteries?
