Home Depot's Black Friday sale has some noteworthy deals, including discounts on cordless tools and batteries from reputable manufacturers for around 50% off. If you're planning holiday shopping for a woodworker, home maintenance weekend warrior, or DIY enthusiast—or if you're any or all of the above yourself—you should take advantage of this buy one, get one sale while it lasts. Prices are accurate as of the time of writing, but you can expect them to fluctuate and inventory to sell out, so you may not want to hesitate if you see a sale that grabs you.
Home Depot is running a buy one, get one free special on Milwaukee cordless power tools: When you buy a battery set or a tool you can get another battery or tool for free. Since batteries are often the most expensive part of building a cordless kit, getting a lower price on a battery starter kit can offer significant savings.
The list of deals includes an 18-volt Milwaukee cordless router, 18-volt Milwaukee cordless jig saw, and an 18-volt Milwaukee angle grinder, any of which you can get for free with the purchase of a Milwaukee 18-volt 5-amp-hour battery starter kit. The kit comes with a charger and two 18-volt, 5-amp-hour batteries, and usually costs $397. It’s on sale for $199—and with one of these free tools, usually priced at around $199, the whole package costs $199, or about 67% off its regular price.
Ryobi tools are also on sale for Black Friday, offering a free tool with the purchase of a Ryobi battery starter kit. The kit is on sale for $99 and comes with one 4-amp-hour battery, one 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger.
You can add your free cordless Ryobi 18-volt tool to save around 44%. Choose from a Ryobi 18-volt oscillating tool, a Ryobi 18-volt reciprocating saw, or a Ryobi 18-volt power scrubber. (The deal can also be used for other, less expensive tools, but these three represent the biggest discounts.)
DeWalt cordless tools are known for being durable and having reliable batteries, but the batteries are pretty expensive. Right now when you buy a DeWalt 18-volt battery starter kit (which comes with one 18-volt, 6-amp-hour battery, one 18-volt, 4-amp-hour battery, and one charger for $199), you can get a free tool, bringing your total discount to around 52%.
The best tools to choose to maximize your savings are the DeWalt 18-volt router, the DeWalt 18-volt planer, and the Dewalt 18-volt jigsaw.
Makita also has a free tool with battery purchase deal for Black Friday. Makita basically revolutionized the tool industry, offering the first widely circulated battery-powered tools and making a reputation for themselves as a reliable brand.
Their 18-volt battery starter kit comes with two 4-amp-hour, 18-volt batteries and a charger for $199. You can then choose a free tool, and the best deals in terms of savings (40% to 50% off your total purchase) include a Makita 18-volt jigsaw, the Makita 18-volt square-drive ratchet nut driver, and the Makita 18-volt angle grinder.
Ridgid makes cordless tools for medium to light-duty applications and home shop use, and they have a buy-one-get-one deal for Black Friday at Home Depot right now. Their line of batteries is designed to be durable, if a little bit heavy. Their battery starter kit is on sale for $149 and comes with two 4-amp-hour, 18-volt batteries as well as a free tool of your choice for this deal. The best tool to choose for this deal is the Ridgid 18-volt oscillating tool because it will make your overall purchase 50% off. You can also get the 18-volt orbiting sander tool or the 18-volt, 6 ½ inch circular saw for about 42% off your total package.
