Just bought the 5ah starter pack a week ago. If this was 5ah, i'd return that and get the free tool! bummer! still not bad for folks starting out. Also, im curious if the hack is still available to get one or the other after returning one to the store?

You don't get a "free" tool. you get a discounted price on one of several offered.

The price of the "free" tool is split and discounted from each item, totaling $200 at checkout.

Thank you for correcting me. I purchased the two 5ah battery (+ charger and a Makita bag) combo a few days ago, but I need a new blower- so for the exact same amount of money, I ordered this pair of 4ah batteries, a rapid charger and a leaf blower. I'll sacrifice the (estimated) 20% additional run time for the blower.

Thank you so much for correcting me!

As an aside- this YT video attempts to show a real-world comparison between the run times of the various capacity Makita batteries:

Pick up the Makita Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V "bare tools" you need to get the job done. It's an ideal way to start building a Makita LXT Cordless System.Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries resist self-discharge, so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
