Thumb Score: +5

Today only Home Depot On-line only Special Ryobi Combo 40Vv Kit. Brushless String Trimmer and Blower with 3ah battery and Charger. $ 199.99 + tax. Cheaper with rebate site link through and 5% Chase reward cashback.

New HD accounts can sign up for a $ 5 coupon.I tried to get the coupon by registering a new account but the Promo code wasn’t accepted. Possibly due to same phone #, Address or IP from another account??

The Trimmer sells in store by itself for $ 199.99 so the Blower is essentially free. Yes the EGO String Trimmer is available for $ 199.99 or $ 159.99 without the power loader. And is superior, but I have had both these units in hand this weekend and the build quality is right behind the EGO and better than Kobalt, Craftsman Greenworks and others I found in store. An older non brushless version of this Ryobi was the runner up to EGO from the Wirecutter review I found.
