Get a Free Ryobi Cordless Tool When You Purchase a Cordless Starter Kit
If it’s time to expand your existing Ryobi tool set or you’re just starting to build a library of cordless tools, it’s best to start with a battery and tool combination. If you plan to use cordless tools frequently, it’s worth having at least two batteries so you have a charged one to replace when you run out of power. But batteries and chargers can get expensive quickly, making Home Depot’s current deals offering Ryobi tools with the purchase of a battery starter kit even more attractive.
Great starter kit with two batteries.
The Ryobi Dual Battery Starter Kit comes with a charger, a 4Ah battery, and a 2Ah battery. The two-pack is compatible with Ryobi One 18V tools and batteries and is on sale right now for $99, 50% off the regular price. This is a good starter kit if you’re working on small to medium-sized projects, plan to use one or two tools at a time, and don’t mind changing batteries as you work. If you plan to use more tools or want the added speed and convenience of having a battery for each tool, you’ll need a larger kit.
Some of the tools you can get for free with this kit include:
-
Ryobi ⅜-inch Impact Wrench (Regularly $99).
-
Ryobi 3 ¼” Planer (Regularly $99).
-
Ryobi Cordless Reciprocating Saw (regularly $79).
There is also the opportunity to receive a free 4 amp-hour battery when you purchase a set of two batteries. This battery costs $99 on its own, so it’s a good deal, especially if you need to replace older batteries or want to upgrade to lithium-ion batteries with faster charging.
A starter kit of three batteries to build a larger tool library.
Ryobi’s three-battery starter kit includes one charger, two 4-amp-hour batteries, and one 2-amp-hour battery. The three-battery set retails for $199, which is 45% off the regular price, and also comes with a set of free tools.
This is a good kit for medium sized projects. Having three batteries allows you to use two tools at the same time and still have a freshly charged battery ready to charge. This kit will help you work faster and more efficiently on jobs that require multiple tools.
Here are some of the best free tools you can get with your three-battery pack:
-
Ryobi 18 Gauge Cordless Nailer (Regularly $189)
-
Ryobi Cordless Pet Vacuum (Regularly $199).
-
Ryobi Cordless Pruner (regularly $149).
There are plenty of other tools you can get for free when you purchase a battery starter kit, so if you’re looking for something specific, check out the full list . Please remember that these tools and battery kits are only compatible with the Ryobi One 18V system; other brands or voltages will not work with these tools.
If you need tools, not batteries
If you already have batteries but need tools, these suggestions may not be the best option. Even if you get something for free, buying a set of batteries you don’t know you need can end up costing more than just buying the specific tools you actually need.
