It's some kind of a buy a $$$ tool, get the item "Free", return the $$$ tool and keep the "free" item at a discount. I've never been able to figure it out exactly myself. No one ever gives the exact items to order, nor the steps.
In my experience, you can either order them for pickup at separate stores and immediately return the one you don't want or pickup at the same store and shamelessly tell the CSR that you want to return just one item. Both have worked for me.

Home Depot discounts both items in these deals rather than having the gift item be a $0.00 line item. The discount on each is proportional to the item cost / total cost.

In this case, you want the batteries at the largest discount so you'd pair it with the most expensive "free gift" so you get the largest discount value to be split between the two line items.

This, I actually did this backwards over Black Friday when I wanted the bare tool and returned the batteries. It's petty painless overall.

It's not complicated. When you add these batteries plus the free tool to cart, it discounts the batteries and the tool proportional to the advertised price, nothing is free.

For an example. They offer a $100 tool and free battery worth $100. Adding them to cart discounts both to $50. Return the one you don't want.

Yes, you are buying them legitimately. I've done it, it works flawlessly.

i never understood what was so complicated about this. this was pretty clear to me the moment i added one of these deals to cart when they started doing these promos a year ago. but people here are still spinning their wheels.

Also, just for general knowledge. Ridgid now has 12Ah batteries out. I'm holding out (maybe forever?) for a deal of some sort on them.

I just feel if one is to post a deal, at least post the steps or links to what works. Vague wording of "free tool hack" doesn't really explain it well IMO. To each their own I suppose.

I was thinking of doing similar but then this deal (which has been active a couple months already) has the 8 Ah with hack for $81.31. Seemed good enough for me and I don't think I'll see that price on them again.

Put the most expensive tool as the freebie, send to 2 different stores, and only pick up the item you want. Wait a week for the other tool to be canceled. Rinse and repeate over and over.

If you are interested in keeping only the battery pack to make it the cheapest add the most expensive free tool. Then return the most expensive free tool and keep the battery pack bundle. That will make it the cheapest.
