If you’re doing some holiday shopping for that special maker in your life (or if you just want to save on some tools for your own projects), Amazon’s Black Friday sale can save you some serious money. Here are some of the best deals on tools available right now.
The best deals on cordless drills and drivers
Good quality cordless drills and drivers can be expensive, but these Black Friday deals make them much more affordable.
This 20 volt DeWalt drill/driver with battery and charger is on sale for $99. This tool will fit with other DeWalt tools in the same family, so it’s a good starter kit for someone building a set.
The Makita 18v drill and impact driver combo kit is on sale for $171 (68% off). It comes with a battery and charger. This will fit with other tools with the same battery type so it’s a good, durable kit to build from if you’re starting out.
For smaller jobs, the Bosch 12v cordless drill is a good deal with a battery and charger for $79 at 45% off. This tool is good for small jobs around the house and will hold up for home maintenance projects, but isn’t designed for heavy use.
The best deals on larger tool sets
For larger tool sets, getting a good deal on a bundle can be tricky. While the quantity of a set can sometimes eclipse the quality of the tools, it’s worth taking the quality into account because getting tools that will last is often just as important for saving money as is having the variety of tools needed for a project.
The Makita 6 tool 18v combo set is a good deal for $500, or 26% off. It only comes with one battery and charger, though, so keep that in mind.
The DeWalt 100 piece bit set is a good quality set for drill and driver sets and is 32% off, or $45.
To build a hand tool set that will last, the Craftsman 308 piece mechanics tool set is a great deal for 31% off at $219 for Black Friday. The set comes with a variety of wrenches and sockets that are well made and durable.
The best deals on pneumatic nailers
Pneumatic tools can get expensive quickly, whether you’re looking to build a kit or add to an existing one. These deals will have you nailing down all your projects for less, though.
The Makita pneumatic coil nailer is on sale for 64% off, making it $179 for Black Friday. This tool has enough power to use for roofing or other heavy-duty jobs, but it doesn’t come with a compressor, so you’ll need to get that separately.
The Freeman framing nailer is on sale for 42% off at $104 for Black Friday. It’s a good tool for wood framing and other medium-duty projects, but you’ll need to get a compressor separately.
The Bostitch brad nailer is 34% off, making it $99. This tool also doesn’t come with a compressor, but it works with carpentry jobs like molding and other woodworking projects.
The best deals on PPE
Don’t forget to protect your eyes and ears! Here are the best deals on personal protective equipment for Black Friday.
DeWalt lightweight safety glasses are $3.50, or 73% off.
These earmuffs from Howard will keep your eardrums safe from tool and impact noise, and they’re 64% off at $34.
These DeWalt Work gloves are 34% off at $17 and they’re insulated for all your chilly outdoor DIY projects.
