Deal Details
YMMV
My local Home Depot (Store 2582) has several XGT 40V tools on clearance. Note they are not marked as clearance online, and show zero stock for some but my store had several of each in the cage.

Makita 40V XGT GRU01M1 String Trimmer Kit $199. Makita e-rebate available through 1/31/26 for free 2.5AH battery and 24" hedge trimmer.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makit.../317200189

e-rebate: https://makitatools.com/erebates?...SM,GRU01M1

Other options:
XGT GBU01M1 Blower kit $149 with same e-rebate above. List $439
XGT GHU02Z 24" Hedge Trimmer tool $99. No rebates I could find. List $329
XGT GCU06T1 18" Chainsaw kit $249. No rebates I could find. List $629

Rebate steps:
-Purchase qualifying tool on or before Jan 31, submit claim by Feb 14. As far as I know every HD is Makita authorized dealer.
-Create an account on the makita rebate site.
-Find the rebate associated with the tool you bought, click claim. If you bought more than one rebate eligible tool on the same receipt, claim them all at once. I purchased on separate receipts so I made separate claims.
-Select the HD store you bought from. You may have to find the store by selecting the mailing address city instead of the store name city.
-Upload picture of the serial number sticker on the tool
-Upload a picture of the box UPC with serial number
-Upload a picture of the receipt
Rebate items took a month or two to ship last year, probably similar delay now.

I bought two of the blower kits several months ago on clearance with chainsaws via rebate, the $149 price is even slicker than what I paid then. They are beasts, my 4 year old struggles to hold it steady. Today was just looking for the hedge trimmer, but after finding the hedge trimmer and battery rebate deal I bought the string trimmer and another blower kit for the extra batteries and chargers. Very impressed with the XGT stuff so far but not the list prices.

Create an account on the makita site, click claim on the rebate associated with the tool kit you bought, upload a picture of the serial number sticker on the tool, picture of box UPC with serial, and a picture of your receipt. The last rebates I did took a month or two to ship after submission. Limit of 5 submissions per promotion.

I have the trimmer, chainsaw and hedge on sale at my local store, but I only want the blower!

The other semi local store has them but at full price!

It's a bummer brickseek has gone to crap

Just checked and both rebates submitted on the 29th now show "Approved". Anyone interested in trading an XGT hedge trimmer or 16" XGT chainsaw for other XGT or LXT tools?
