The Best Cordless Tools Already on Sale at Home Depot for Black Friday

Previously, Black Friday deals were moved to the day after Thanksgiving. However, these days they start much earlier – so why not take advantage of it? Whether you're shopping for gifts for your favorite DIY enthusiast or just want to take advantage of discounts on your own tool kit, now is the time to start looking. I usually take the opportunity to add to my collection of tool batteries if there isn't an exciting new cordless tool at this time of year that I haven't tried yet, and this is how I keep an ever-changing collection of batteries to power all my woodworking and DIY adventures.

Best deals on cordless drills and screwdrivers

A quality drill and screwdriver are the foundation of any home DIY tool kit, as they allow you to drive screws, nuts and bolts, and drill holes. I use my drill and driver every day at work and often on my personal projects at home, and having a reliable, easy-to-use, and long battery life is key to getting things done efficiently.

Milwaukee 18V Cordless Drill Kit retails for $99, 50% off regular price. The package includes a 2 amp-hour battery, charger and tool bag. This is a good tool for building a new cordless kit or replacing an existing Milwaukee drill. Since batteries are often the most expensive part of a cordless tool kit, a quality set that includes a battery and charger for under $100 is a good deal.

Milwaukee 18V Quarter Inch Cordless Impact Driver Set also on sale at 99.50% off regular price. The package includes a 2 amp-hour battery, charger and tool bag. It's a good companion for the Milwaukee drill and a good addition to a tool kit that uses Milwaukee 18-volt batteries—it can drive fasteners with more force than a regular drill and can help you get through harder materials like 2x4s more easily.

A Ryobi 18V Cordless Drill Set. with three batteries retails for $148.97, which is 44% off the regular price. This kit is a great starter kit because it comes with a 1.5 amp hour battery, one 2 amp hour battery, and one 4 amp hour battery, plus a charger. It's helpful to purchase a cordless tool set with extra batteries so you can expand your tool kit as your skills and interest develop without having to buy new batteries along the way.

Saws are my favorite part of my tool collection, and having the right saw can make any DIY project much easier and more fun. Cordless saws have gotten better as batteries have become smaller and lighter and have longer lifespans, so they are a practical addition to a do-it-yourself toolkit as well as being fun to use.

Ryobi 18V Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit retails for $99, 65% off regular price. A reciprocating saw can be used for rough cuts and pruning of trees and shrubs. The package includes a reciprocating saw, a two amp hour battery, a 4 amp hour battery and a charger. This is a good tool for those who already use Ryobi 18-volt tools, or for those who like to tackle outdoor projects like trimming hedges.

Milwaukee 18V Reciprocating Saw is on sale for $199, which is 68% off the regular price. This is a good tool to add to your Milwaukee 18-volt kit or start with a yard care and landscaping kit. The package includes a saw, two 5 amp-hour batteries and a charger.

Milwaukee 18V 6 ½” Cordless Circular Saw is on sale for $199, which is 62% off the regular price. The saw is supplied with two 5 amp-hour batteries and a charger. Larger batteries allow you to use the saw for hours at a time while always having a fresh battery in the charger.

Ryobi Cordless Miter Saw 18V 7 ¼” is on sale for $159, which is 52% off the regular price. This saw can cut difficult corners for trim and woodworking without the need for an outlet. It comes with a 4 amp-hour battery and charger, making it a good addition to Ryobi's cordless tool kit as it can make up to 900 cuts on a single battery charge. Although this saw claims to cut up to 900 times on a single charge, if you're working with material thicker than a quarter of an inch, you'll need a second battery so you can replace it—in my experience, it can use more power cutting through denser or thicker wood.

Milwaukee 18V Oscillating Multi-Tool Set. on sale for $99, 50% off regular price. The package includes a 1.5 ampere-hour battery and a charger. This tool saved my sanity when I was replacing the sink trap in my 115 year old DIY home. I've used it to cut an old pipe, shape a pipe coming out of a wall, cut new PVC to length, trim damaged plaster around a leaking drain, trim a lath to fit a new trap, and then I even used it to sand the seams in a plaster repair I did. This is the most reliable tool in my DIY home kit, and $99 is a great price for it.

Cordless tool kits can be a good way to start a new tool kit, as they usually include everything you need, plus a few cool extras. I started my personal toolbox with a Milwaukee 18-volt set over a decade ago, and I also use DeWalt tools every day at work.
