Black Friday Is Still a Few Weeks Away, but These DeWalt Deals Are Already Up to 63% Off

6 min readBlack Friday is November 27, and Cyber Monday falls on November 30, with retailers offering some of the year's lowest prices on the best power tools.If you’re a DeWalt devotee, we’ve found deals on saws, drills, and extra batteries that save you up to 63 percent off retail.Whether you’re shopping for yourself or another DIY-er in your life, the yellow and black has a stellar reputation and for good reason. Any of these products makes a great gift and lasts a long time.Apparently, I’m the single worst person in the world to shop for, or so my kids tell me. But all I really want is a good tool at a great price. It’s not that hard. And if it’s a DeWalt tool? Forget it, I’m sold.Take DeWalt’s oscillating multi-tool. At $99 (with a battery and charger), it’s perfect for someone putting together their first tool kit. If you have a bigger project on your list, DeWalt’s compact table saw is $100 off. Throw in the over-$200 discount on DeWalt’s 12-inch sliding miter saw, and you’re well on your way to a pro-level workshop. With the money you saved, it’s like getting free lumber for your next project.I pulled together some of the best DeWalt deals to shop around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, all with the unmistakable yellow-and-black DeWalt signature.If your workshop turns back into a garage around dinner time, this is the table saw I’d look at. It’s compact enough to stash when you’re done, and the rack-and-pinion fence is deadly accurate, making it easy to dial in repeat cuts for shelves or cabinets. DeWalt does a great job of storing all of the saw’s tools and accessories on board, and the entire package weighs just over 50 pounds. Make room on the lower shelf of your workbench for this one, since it's easy to lift and carry.Have you ever put the full weight of your body into a lug wrench, only to have them refuse to budge? I certainly have. And then your brain starts thinking, ‘I should really buy an impact wrench at some point.’ Now is a great time to banish that internal conversation forever with this 1/2-inch impact wrench from DeWalt. Its high torque breaks stubborn lugs and larger fasteners loose, making it an especially solid buy for someone who works on their own vehicles and outdoor equipment. I’d still reach for a proper torque wrench when the wheels go back on, though. The deal here is for the complete kit–the wrench, a 5.0 Ah battery, and a charger.If you’re asking me to pick the ultimate DeWalt Black Friday deal here, I’d have to stand by this DeWalt cordless jigsaw. A circular saw will get you right up to the point where the cut starts to curve. Then, it’s time to reach for this jigsaw. Think about notching a shelf around a pipe or cutting an opening in a counter for a drop-in sink. The speed dial lets you slow things down as you enter a tight turn, and the blower helps keep sawdust off the line you’re trying to follow. At $129, which is nearly 50 percent off the regular price, it’s a pickup you can’t pass up if you already have DeWalt 20V Max batteries.A good set of mechanic’s tools will run you a pretty penny. And sure, you can opt for a basic socket and ratchet kit, but with this comprehensive DeWalt set at nearly 50 percent off the usual price, why wouldn't you? This set includes both metric and SAE sockets across three drive sizes. Grab the small ratchet when there’s barely enough room to turn your wrist, and the larger one when you have room to break that stubborn nut free. I also like the hard case for keeping things organized. One look at an empty socket chamber, and I know exactly which one I left beneath my mower deck.If someone on your holiday list just picked up keys to their first place, I’d get them this set. Leave a drill bit in one tool and a driver in the other, and you can go from drilling pilot holes to running screws without stopping to swap bits. That doesn’t sound like much until you've got an afternoon of hanging curtain rods and shelves in front of you. And I like that the kit includes both tools, two batteries, a charger, and a carry bag to keep everything neat and handy. At $149, this is a perfect entrance into the DeWalt cordless tool ecosystem.The first time you need to slip a piece of new flooring under a door jamb, you’ll understand exactly why this DeWalt oscillating multi-tool is one of the most coveted tools in any collection. Trim that jamb right where it sits, without removing it. Same idea if you need to notch a little baseboard in place or make a neat opening in drywall for a new electrical outlet. But here’s where this deal really shines. For $99, you get the tool, a 4.0 Ah battery, a charger, and a blade. It kind of makes me want to have a second setup on hand, since mine seems to go missing when I’m working with my family.Try flipping a long piece of trim end for end in a crowded room just to cut the opposite bevel. Do that a few times and you’ll see why I like a miter saw that tilts both ways. Or maybe you’re going to take on that crown molding project you’ve wanted to attempt for so long. Trust me, this cordless DeWalt 12-inch sliding miter saw is your new bestie. The sliding head gives you plenty of room to crosscut wider boards, and the blade’s shadow line shows exactly where the teeth will land on your measurement. At just over $200 off, this saw is a legacy tool that you’ll likely pass down to the next generation of woodworkers and DIYers in your family.I love this sander. DeWalt has lowered the overall profile of this new XR sander, so you can reach tight spaces when you need to sand something in place, like the inside of a cabinet. The tool has a great palm-feel, and the weight is dead-centered on the pad, which keeps it planted on your work surface. Five speed settings let you back off when you’re easing an edge or turn it up when you need serious material removal. At $144, I’d put this one on the Black Friday list for anyone already on the DeWalt platform, as both battery and charger are sold separately.For many people, that big reciprocating saw is probably too much tool. How much demolition will you actually do? But picture yourself under a sink or in a crawlspace trying to cut out an old pipe with your elbows jammed up around your ears. That’s where I’d take this compact DeWalt reciprocating saw over one of those larger ones. With the right blade, you’ll tear through that pipe–or cut the nails holding a broken fence picket and leave the neighboring boards alone. At 63 percent off, you still have plenty left in the budget for a battery and charger.If you’re considering any of the cordless tools I’ve mentioned earlier, this Black Friday deal is an easy add. This 5.0 Ah DeWalt battery two-pack makes perfect sense for tools that spend a lot of time in use, like a cordless sander or miter saw. I’ve always been a fan of DeWalt’s easy-access charge gauge on their batteries, which lets you see how much juice you have before you start. Again, this is a great choice if you’re picking up that cordless XR sander, as these batteries have impressive run times, and because this is a two-pack, you can charge one as you work and sand without much downtime.Paul Russell Smith is a former NYC ironworker turned screenwriter (Grace Point) and home renovation specialist.
