Don't think so since it's all one bundle. You can only do the hack if it's something like "add one free tool" and the cart shows up as 2 items.

Yes it is h@ckable but use this link for the battery and you can add the 1/2" right angle impact wrench or you can add some extended reach ratchets.

This seems like a good deal I have the 3/8 Milwaukee but I have mostly 1/2 sockets now and never see that one on sale

I didn't realize people were so against that here. Home Depot adjusts the price per item when bonuses are added so they clearly have a price they're willing to sell each item individually for. Nothing wrong with returning one item off a receipt and keeping the rest.

They call it "soft fraud". Other people at Home Depot aren't idiots. They've known about this for years and years and let people do it that whole time.

Apples and oranges, but I got a Kobalt one of these when Lowe's was selling kits for like $89 or whatever. Massively useful on brake caliper brackets and pins...I've used it for some other things too, but this tool took hours off a brake job on my old A5 and is worth it for that alone.

Yeah the people crapping on it think they're some kind of moral white knights when it's legally and morally not wrong to return brand-new, unused merchandise to the place it was purchased from for an agreed-upon refund. If it was wrong, HD wouldn't allow it.

Whoa. Didn't now Ridgid has a tool like this. All my power tools are Ryobi, except for the Milwaukee stubby (250 ft lbs), which I bought for tight areas like doing brakes since the Ryobi extended reach ratchet (55 ft lbs) wouldn't cut it sometimes. I may have to look into this tool if Ryobi doesn't make a similar one.
