Says $400 for me, and then two free tools. About $220 for the base kit after hack. Are you sure it's not $200 after hack for you?

Correct. The full price is $400 (i had put that in the post but just looked and its not showing) which comes down to ~$200 in cart plus the 2 'free' tools. So you either keep the tools for a total of $200 or the kit. Similar post to this where they list the 'hacked' price in the title: https://slickdeals.net/f/17009875-makita-18v-x2-lxt-5-0ah-36v-brushless-cordless-rear-handle-7-1-4-in-circular-saw-kit-w-2-free-2-pack-18v-lxt-5-0-ah-battery-hackable-299

I do see the confusion though as i had stated that it comes with 2 free tools. That was misleading so i removed that.

It shows $400 for the kit + (2) 5.0Ah batteries. After returning 2 batteries, the kit price is $210.31.
I think it is one of the best deals so far for XT288T kit.

Annoying that you can't get the similar priced lxt router as one of the free tools.

I added two jig saws to my order; returned them upon pickup making my order ~$190 before tax. This set has a ton of power compared to my 18v LXT (brushed) set from 2016.

website is buggy for me, cant seem to add the base to select the 2 free tools?

edit: figured it out - you want to make sure delivery is available in your area even if you're going to do pickup

Anyone know if the jigsaws are good?

I just read in another sd thread. A guy was doing tons of hacks for about a year and he got put on a "list". "No more returns for you."

Y'all be careful.

Hate to be that guy, but can someone hold my hand on this process. I add the combo, then add two Makita tools: 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw (Tool Only), 3/8 in./1/4 in. 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Square Drive Ratchet (Tool-Only). I go all the way to place order with 3 items in my cart. It never goes down to the $419.00 price point. Is it my Military Discount messing things up? I tried also with the double pack of 5AH batteries instead of the tools and no luck either. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Product Description:	The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT288T) gives you 2 efficient brushless tools for drilling, driving and fastening. The Kit includes the category's fastest-charging 5.0 Ah batteries and the breadth-of-line of the 18-Volt LXT System, so your batteries will power the expanding range of Makita tools and accessories. The 18-Volt LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT16) sets new standards. The XDT16 offers users 4 speeds, as well as Makita's exclusive Quick-Shift Mode for increased fastening control. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision setting is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place and is engineered - minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work. The XDT16 delivers industry-leading performance in a compact and ergonomic design. The 18-Volt LXT Brushless Variable 2-Speed Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH14) combines power and run-time for more drilling, driving and fastening tasks in wood, metal and masonry. It delivers (0-550 & 0-2,100RPM) and 1,250 in./lbs. of Peak Torque. Both tools feature an efficient Makita-built BL Brushless Motor for longer run time, increased power and speed & longer tool life.
