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.
