5 Ace Hardware Gets Deep Discounts and Freebies Through March 2026

Longing for the familiar feeling many of us had as children when walking into a toy store. For many of us, that feeling never goes away – it just evolves, perhaps from toys to tools. Walking down the aisles of a hardware store can evoke a similar longing, even if, as our parents would remind us, “we have it at home.” But even if you already have a device of some kind, there is almost always a new one, better, with more features and more power. Even though there are tools that we don’t really need but can make our jobs, DIY projects, and home improvement a lot easier (and, yes, maybe a lot more fun).

It’s probably impossible for most of us to buy everything we want right now, but when a store like Ace Hardware offers big discounts and other deals, it makes it that much easier to buy things that have been sitting on our wish list. A tool that you may need to use anyway may be available for much less than what you would have paid last month. March brings not only new products to the shelves of Ace, but also many sales prices, special deals, and even completely free products. Here are five items Ace Hardware is getting that are offering deep discounts and freebies in March 2026.

DeWalt fans will be interested in the special deal that Ace Hardware is currently offering. With the purchase of a certain DeWalt product, you’ll get another tool (up to $189 worth) absolutely free. Even better, the product you need to buy to take advantage of this deal is DeWalt’s 20V Max Blower/Trimmer Kit (product code DCKO215M1), a bundle that already saves you money by including two large power tools, a battery, and a charger for significantly less than you would if you bought them individually. Both tools are useful for outdoor maintenance – DeWalt 20V String Trimmer and DeWalt 20V Blower.

This deal is a great way to build your yard tool setup, as the free product could be one of the best DeWalt outdoor power tools the brand has to offer. When you add a DeWalt 2 tool kit to your cart, you can choose one of several options shown that will be added to your purchase for free. Free bonus DeWalt cordless tools include a chainsaw, pruner, hedge trimmer and more – all using the same DeWalt 20V interchangeable batteries and charger.

The bundled DeWalt 13-inch Cordless String Trimmer uses a 0.080-inch line to clear grass and vegetation. It is equipped with a variable speed trigger that allows the user to use as much or as little power as is needed for the task, saving the battery when handling light growth. The included 20V Max XR Cordless Handheld Blower delivers up to 450 cfm of air volume at up to 125 mph, while operating relatively quietly at 62 decibels. The DeWalt 20V Max 13-inch 20V Battery Blower/Trimmer Kit (item 7025981) is available for $349.

One of the most important air quality items you must have is an air purifier, which is especially beneficial when you’re dealing with poor air quality in general – or, worse – the ever-growing threat of wildfire smoke. Even if you live in an area with good air quality or not, an air purifier can also help remove allergens and can help make rooms smell better by reducing cigarette smoke, pet odors, and other odors.

The Envion Therapure 120 sq-ft HEPA Air Purifier isn’t meant to clean your entire home or even larger rooms, but its size and scope make it perfect for smaller spaces like bedrooms and offices. In addition to the HEPA filter, which can remove up to 99.97% of dust, pollen, bacteria, mold, and other airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, the Envion Therapure is equipped with an ionizer. The ionizer binds the surrounding particles together, making them larger and easier to filter. The third factor in its triple purification is UV light, which is used by the device to kill certain bacteria and viruses in the air.

Ace Hardware is currently listing the Envion Therapure 120 sq-ft HEPA Air Purifier for $30 less than normal – almost half its price. That means you’ll get a big savings on top of your savings by going with a smaller cleaner. The Envion Therature HEPA Air Purifier (item 4013306) is currently 40% off and available at Ace Hardware for $47.99.

A sump pump is one of those things that is not very pleasant to buy or use and usually does not provide any aesthetic benefit to your home. However, it may be one of the most important devices to have, especially if your house is prone to flooding. In the rainy season, Ace Hardware is taking $40 off the Wayne 5,100-gph Vertical Float Switch Sump Pump.

The 3.8-amp, ½-horsepower motor allows the pump to travel 5,100 gallons per hour (gph) and, at 10 feet, up to 3,840 gph. With top and bottom bearings lubricated in a sealed oil bath, the pump runs quietly. Constructed of stainless steel housing, carbon/ceramic shaft seals, double-epoxy coating, and cast-iron seal plate to prevent leakage and corrosion. It uses an integrated vertical float switch and a rigid polypropylene float to automatically operate nine inches (and retract four inches), and its pull-up design helps reduce clogs and airlocks.

The Wayne 5,100-gph Vertical Float Switch Sump Pump is equipped with a standard outlet with a 1.5-inch cord that complies with building codes. The product has been tested for one million cycles, which is the typical life cycle of a machine. It comes with an 8 meter cord which makes it easy to keep it away from electrical outlets, but it would be wise to remember that sump pumps are one of the things you should never plug into a power line. Instead, a dedicated GFCI outlet should be used to power the pump.

The Wayne 5,100-gph Vertical Float Switch Sump Pump (item 4003742) is available at Ace for $189, which is 21% off its regular price of $239.99.

One of Ace Hardware’s biggest deals you can get this March is a free Milwaukee 18V battery for its cordless tools. Not only that, but it’s not even one of the smaller, cheaper ones – the Milwaukee M18 RedLithium XC 6 Ah High-Output Battery. If you were to buy this battery yourself, it would cost you $300.

But, right now you can get one for free when you buy the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless 2-tool Combo Kit at Ace Hardware. This bundle already includes two small batteries and a charger, so with one purchase you can get two quality power tools and enough gear to use them. The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless 2-tool Combo Kit includes an M18 Fuel ½-inch Hammer Drill/Driver with a ¼-inch Hex Impact Driver, both powered by brushless motors.

Part of the reason why Milwaukee power tool batteries are so expensive is that, like other major tool brands, the company invests heavily in research and development to improve battery technology. The Milwaukee M18 RedLithium XC 6 Ah High-Output battery is intelligently designed by RedLink to increase efficiency and reduce overheating, and the battery is designed for operation in extreme cold weather. Includes an internal oil gauge, as well as a rubber overmold and waterproof barrier for improved durability.

Ace Hardware is selling the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless 2-tool Combo Kit (item 2026543) for $399, and you can add a free M18 RedLithium XC 6 Ah High-Output battery in one click before adding both to your cart.

Just like buying cheap Halloween candy after October 31st, the best time to upgrade your Christmas decorations is a few months in advance. That’s why it’s not a huge shock that many of the biggest discounts Ace Hardware is currently offering are on holiday lights and other decorations. Using these deals, you can pick up a full set of ornaments for much less than what you would pay when they hit store shelves again (these days would be in early August).

One of the products currently on sale is the Twinkly LED Micro/5 mm Multicolored 400-count String Christmas Lights set, which is currently on sale for $60. The lights are 105 feet tall and scaled both inside and out. They are also smart lights and can be controlled via the Twinkly smartphone app, making it very easy to set timers, create pre-loaded lighting effects, and adjust light levels. You can also design your own lighting displays, customize the bulbs in any way you like and choose from 16 million colors and countless different patterns.

You can find even bigger deals on simple, low-key ornaments, like the Scentsicles Gold Scented Decorative Star Ornament, which is currently a whopping 86% off its list price. For just a few bucks, you can get an ornament that uses scented inserts, so it doesn’t lose its freshly cut tree scent. You should note that this discount – and many of the offers Ace is currently running – are only available online and not in store.

Twinkly LED Micro/5 mm Multicolored 400-count String Christmas Lights are currently 35% off at Ace Hardware and available for $109.99.

Normally $13.99, the Scentsicles Gold Star Ornament is currently just $1.99.
