Deal Details
Found several Makita outdoor power tools on sale at Home Depot with several local stores that do not typically have these kinds of deals showing 11+ in stock at this price for some places. These were at the HD in Enfield, CT.

Right now if you purchase this blower kit (must be GBU01M1 so make sure the UPC matches!) from an authorized retailer through 10/31/25 with valid UPC, serial, and proof of purchase you should be eligible for the rebate here: https://www.makitatools.com/ereba...m=GBU01M1# to get a free 16 in. 40V chainsaw (GCU05Z).

I submitted my rebate yesterday 10/6/25 and it has not moved status yet, so unsure if there will be any issue due to the clearance price, but an excellent deal if so!

There were two others I picked up, as well:
- https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makit.../317200189 for $250 (no active rebates that I could find)
- https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makit.../318152396 for $165 (also no rebates). This is the dark horse of the race the thing made me mad I was using such horrible trimmers until now.

If you have the LXT 18v tools, many of those were also on clearance. Discounts were not as steep, but the 36v (18v x 2 LXT batteries) was on clearance for around $300. Not as amazing of a deal, but good option if you're staying on 18v.

makita randomly audits their eRebate users. to return the blower you'd have to find a retailer who would accept an open product box (you have to take pictures of the serial number on the tools) and hope someone doesn't buy it after you return it and register the tool or submit an eRebate on it.

just scored this and it turns out only certain Home Depot stores are authorized dealers. Of course in my area those are all the places it's not on clearance 😭. Back to home Depot she goes!!! ok so played with the input for city and store what a POS unbelievable how difficult this was!!
bottom line I finally got it to accept my store!! Entered city then it gives a small drop down of stores to select, of which mine is not listed!! So I cleared the city portion and looked up my store number entered that and now my store is available, anyway had to play with it for a solid 5 or so minutes. On a side note I have 2 stores like under 5 miles from me those never have any of the YMMV deals ever, so went to one that's just an extra 10 minute drive and it was only showing 1 left! I get there and its not with all the other blowers but in the special rip off priced tool area, A.K.A. the high dollar area lol! Which was an empty shelve haha!!! So off to the rafters we go, that's always a special treat. No luck of course, then another employee finds it hidden some where else crazy fun. It wasn't that bad but just sharing how these YMMV deal's are for me. 😝

how does e rebates work? do i buy the blower and chainsaw and get reimbursed for the chainsaw cost? Or, Im guessing i just buy the blower and they send me the chainsaw directly for free?

Bought this and a 450-cfm Ryobi 18v blower. For the Ryobi I can have unlimited supply of 4ah and 6ah batteries. Not sure if this one-battery Makita deal makes sense for me
