Home Depot Cordless Tools Discount Promo (Holiday 2014)

Nov 5, 2014 Stuart 8 Comments

In response to yesterday’s post about the great new Milwaukee cordless tool freebie promos, Del left a great tip about Home Depot’s new Tiered Tool Offer.

So what is this Tiered Tool Offer about? Well, it’s simple.

Step 1 is to buy a new cordless combo kit. There are 3 different promo discount levels, depending on the price and size of the combo kit, and 14 eligible combo kits. Prices start at $199.

Step 2 is to buy an additional tool, kit, combo, battery, or accessory.

When you buy a product from Step 1 AND Step 2, you get a discount of $50, $100, or $150, depending on the tier level of the tool selected in Step 1. Makes sense?

The discount is applied automatically to your cart at checkout.

Eligible brands: Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Ridgid.

Level 1 – $50 Savings:

Home Depot Tool Tier Discount $50 Level

Level 2 – $100 Savings:

Home Depot Tool Tier Discount $100 Level

Level 3 – $150 Savings:

Home Depot Tool Tier Discount $150 Level

The items must be purchased together, and you can only get one discount per transaction.

It’s kind of like a credit system – buy something from Step 1, and get a credit towards the purchase of an item from Step 2. In the cart, the discount is spread across both items.

It looks like you can swap some brands. For instance, adding a Ridgid combo kit to my cart and a Milwaukee, Ridgid, or Ryobi Step 2 tool or battery pack resulted in the expected discount. The same was not true for Dewalt.

The crazy-good Milwaukee M12 drill, impact driver, and free bonus battery kit deal that I posted about the other day is included as a Step 2 promo item at the $50 and $100 discount levels.

Step 2(via HD)

Seems to be a very good deal, with little or no downside.

It’s unclear as to how long the promo will last. Keep in mind that we might be bound to see a $25 off $100 Dewalt promo later on in the shopping season, as we saw last year, although this would at most affect consideration at the lowest Step 1 tier level.

    I’m hoping for some kind of Ryobi discount that applies to the battery operated brad nailer. I have a bunch of Ryobi battery operated tools and would like to add this one. Someone gave me a bunch to get started, so I’ve bought the brand more than I otherwise might, but for the money they are mostly decent tools for a diyer who may not use them everyday.

      The AirStrike nailer is worth every penny. I use the 16ga finish nailer quite a bit too but it’s a little heavy. The 18ga is just about perfect.

        How about picking up the vertical pancake compressor and using a standard nailer? I know the compressor still needs to be plugged in, but for the price Im thinking the compressor is more useful than just the cordless nailer.

          for quick jobs where more time is spent taking care of the tools, a compressor is one less thing to lug. not to mention the hose, maybe an extension cord. feature wise, it’s going to be a lot quieter.

    promo runs through January and is in store also. Major difference is you are limited to what is on hand at that particular store, BUT items in the step 2 part aren’t designated as “in the discount level” like they are on the website. Example: You can buy the
    DEWALT 20-Volt Max XR Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit (2-Tool)
    and DEWALT 20-Volt 3 Ah Max Lithium-Ion Battery (2-Pack)
    and it’ll take $150 off the total. So brushless hammer, brushless impact, charger, and 4 3Ah batteries for $318 plus tax. pretty good deal and it won’t work on the website.

    Am I the only one who is disappointed that all these sets come with a crappy hammer drill instead of a good drill (just drill). Hammer drills are so specific that having a combo drill/hammer drill just seems like a waste 99% of the time. I have a Bosch combo kit that I added a 3/8″ drill to and found that I used the drill far more than the hammer drill because it is far more balanced without all the gearing in the head and it weighs probably 2 lbs less. The hammer drill had more nuts but that ended up being it’s undoing as I killed it with a big auger. So, now the 3/8″ is my only drill and aside from wishing for a 1/2″ chuck from time to time, I am really happy with it. Unfortunately, the Bosch kit is getting long in the tooth and nearing replacement but all the combo kits on the market are still trying to push these hammer drills on us. Which means either I cannot participate in the combo savings shown above or I must buy a combo set then hunt down a 3/8″ drill to add to the set (not always as easy as it sounds).

    I stand corrected.
    I looked a bit closer at the offerings and it appears that the Makita 2 pc. combo kit AND the Milwaukee 2 pc. kit actually come with a drill instead of a hammer drill!

    Although, in my looking around I saw that Milwaukee has a 15 pc. tool kit for $2k that includes an impact driver, (2) impact socket guns, an SDS hammer drill, a right angle drill, (2) circular saws?? why?, and a drill/hammer drill combo amongst other things yet no standard 1/2″ or 3/8″ drill?!?! Who is this kit designed for? (besides someone who can saw with both hands simultaneously).

      With that 15pc set, one of the saws you see is a circular saw for cutting wood, the other is a metal-cutting saw. One of the impacts is a compact model, the other is a heavy duty model. Some users will have and use both for different things.

      It’s odd that there’s no drill/driver, but would be odder if there was a drill/driver and a hammer drill.
