Home Depot's Ryobi deal: $99 battery kit with free tool worth $129

Home Depot is running a limited-time promotion on Ryobi One+ power tools: buy the 18V lithium-ion starter kit for $99 and get a free tool of your choice. The starter kit includes a 2.0 Ah battery, a 4.0 Ah battery, and a charger, normally priced at $129. Shoppers can select from 16 different tools, including a leaf blower, reciprocating saw, hedge trimmer, wet/dry hand vacuum, or clamp fan set. The discount applies automatically when you add both items to your cart. ZDNET rates this deal 5/5, noting the savings exceed 57% off the battery set alone.

Ryobi is sold exclusively at Home Depot and its own website, and while it's considered a budget brand, its tools consistently earn over 4 stars from thousands of customers. This deal is an excellent opportunity for DIY homeowners or professionals to expand their tool collection without breaking the bank. However, the offer is subject to sell out or expire at any time, so acting quickly is recommended. For context, Home Depot also has a similar DeWalt deal, but the Ryobi offer provides a larger selection of free tools at a lower price point.
