Deal Details

Add the fan and the free gift battery to the cart for $59.

After placing the order, within 5 minutes, go back to the order and cancel the free battery. This results in the fan's price is only $26.99+tax. YMMV as I was using an HD Android App, which allowed me to cancel immediately after placing the order, while my friend (used an Iphone app) had to wait for 5-10 minutes for the order to show up.

You can also wait for both items to be delivered and return the battery in-store for the same net price for the fan, or sell the battery. Happy hacking!!!

Edit: thumbdowns all you want. Home Depot has allowed this type of deal/hack for years. If they allow it, I will do it. There is clearly a price attached to each item. A price that HD sets themselves. I did not force them to give me that price.

I hate the home depot app and website. However after updating then uninstalling their app, I was able to complete the offer using the website. Thanks OP!! Repped.

Thanks OP was able to cancel the battery right away on android. I have the smaller ryobi fan but it doesn't move much air Hopefully this pushes twice much air so I can use it outside during oil changes.

Is the battery worth it at $32 if we decide to keep it?
There's been better deals with the fan, battery, and charger. If you don't have any Ryobi stuff, you'll still need to find a charger for the battery.

I was able to get two 4000 batteries for $40 total. I would choose those battery deals over this 2000 battery.

Unable to cancel battery. Even with having pickup at a different location. It just cancels both items. If you have one for pickup and one for shipping it throws error that you have to have same delivery type for both items.

Unable to cancel just the battery, it cancels both.
If I try to return just the battery in store will CS know it was part of a package and kill my deal?

No they don't care I returned a battery from the previous battery hack and he said as long as it has a price for return it's all good

This is not hack, it is called indirect theft.
Oh shut it. This has been a thing for years and Home Depot definitely knows about it. If it was a problem for them it would have been fixed long long ago.

Depends on what setting you using. I don't recall specifically but at max speed when I was cleaning my car, I let this fan dry a wet spot passenger side, probably lasted 2-3 hours on a 2mh battery.

On the lowest setting I think the 4mh battery would last me over a week+ iirc. I would use the battery swap method when I first got it before just directly plugging it in.
