Hello, Homedepotcustomer - We are sorry to read about your unsatisfactory experience with the tool-only purchase! We offer this purchasing option so customers who already have the battery and charger can purchase just the tool at a lower price. However, it sounds like the kit version (tool + battery + charger) would be a better option for you. And if you're interested in this kit, then simply search for model number PBL345KN on the Home Depot website or utilize the link below. We hope this helps! And if you'd like to discuss your experience further, then please feel free to email us anytime at Reviews@RYOBItools.com.
