Throughout July and into early August 2026, major U.S. home‑improvement retailers kept deep‑discount and bundled‑accessory campaigns for cordless power‑tool systems. Home Depot’s July 3 promotion cut the Ryobi ONE+ 18 V starter kit to $99 and let buyers select a free Ryobi tool from a long list that includes reciprocating saws, hedge trimmers and vacuums. Lowe’s, through a July 10 offer, sold the DEWALT 20 V 2‑Pack kit for $299 while providing up to two complimentary DEWALT tools worth as much as $498, chosen from 13 models. Amazon and Walmart continued July 16 clearance pricing of DeWalt drill‑and‑impact combos at $169, adding accessories such as orbital sanders and wet/dry vacuums. Home Depot’s July 22 limited‑edition blackout‑color Ryobi fan and blower were priced at the same $99 level, and the retailer further reduced a high‑capacity Ryobi 4 Ah battery kit to $179 with a free tool option. In early August, Ace Hardware introduced a free 20 V MAX XR battery and charger (a $169 value) with qualifying DeWalt ATOMIC tools, while Home Depot launched a parallel free‑battery promotion for select tools from Ridgid, Milwaukee and DeWalt, offering the respective brand’s high‑capacity battery at no extra cost.
