Home Depot’s Ryobi Days 2026 is running now through Father’s Day, and the deal structure is about as clean as these promotions get: buy a qualifying 18V ONE+ starter kit and choose any 18V ONE+ power tool for free. No rebate, no mail-in — add both to cart and the discount applies automatically.
Two Starter Kit Options
- $99 Starter Kit — one 2Ah battery, one 4Ah battery, and a charger. Choose one free tool from the qualifying list.
- $199 HP 3-Battery Starter Kit — two 4Ah HP batteries, one 2Ah HP battery, and a charger. Choose one free tool or two additional 4Ah HP batteries free instead.
If you run brushless tools regularly, the HP kit is worth the extra hundred. HP batteries deliver noticeably more power under load and run cooler in sustained use — the difference is immediately apparent on anything like a circular saw or reciprocating saw.
What’s on the Free Tool List
Available free picks include tools normally priced up to $200:
- 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
- Reciprocating Saw
- Random Orbit Sander
- 18-in Hedge Trimmer
- Jig Saw
- Angle Grinder
- Oscillating Multi-Tool
- Cordless Ratchet
- 18V String Trimmer
Confirm the full list at checkout — Home Depot updates qualifying tools periodically.
Why This Is a Good Entry Point
Ryobi ONE+ covers 300+ tools on a single 18V battery. That means once you own the batteries, every additional Ryobi tool is just the tool price — no separate battery needed. For someone starting their first cordless kit or filling platform gaps, this deal lowers the real cost of entry significantly.
One strategic note: the brad nailer and cordless ratchet tend to sell out early in Ryobi Days events. If either of those is your pick, don’t wait until the week before Father’s Day.
How to Shop
Both starter kits are in-store and online at The Home Depot. Add the qualifying starter kit to your cart first, then add your free tool — the system auto-applies the discount. Double-check the tool appears on the qualifying list before checking out.
