Deal Details
HACK: Click to "shop this deal" and choose the 1/4" impact (valued $10 higher than the advertised battery), add the two to your cart. The itemized price will be $104.76 for the router. Return the impact driver and $104.76 is your net purchase price.

If you are sheepish about returning items like this, tell them "I thought it was a new model but it's the same impact I already own"

Funny enough this deal is pretty good if you actually need the router and 1/4" hex. The impact is a 2953-20, which is a top tier Fuel option IMO. At 200+tax this is a legit deal even if you keep both tools.

On marketplace you can find brand new combo kit 5.0 batteries for $50-60 all day. So it's not your best value in this free tool deal.

There were reports of people getting banned from Home Depot, presumably using these hacks. Be careful.

I have never heard of anyone getting banned for doing this. They might flag you for doing too many returns but I doubt they'll ban you completely.

Aren't they going to be releasing a new hex impact driver soon?
