Black Friday Power Tool Deals 2026: DeWalt and Milwaukee Picks
The DeWalt drill and impact driver kit is already at last Black Friday's price on Amazon. Here's that kit, plus the drills and drivers TechGearLab rated best.
The bottom line
If you don't own a battery platform yet, the DeWalt 20V Max drill and impact driver kit (DCK240C2) with two batteries and a charger was $129 for Black Friday 2025, per Bob Vila; compare that with its live price below. If you already own DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries, buy bare tools: TechGearLab named the DeWalt Atomic DCD794 the best drill for most people and the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2903 the highest-performing drill it tested, and both impact drivers here maxed its 300 ft-lb torque tests. Last Black Friday Amazon's DeWalt kits ran 15% to 45% off, per Popular Science.

What last Black Friday's tool deals looked like on Amazon
Popular Science's Black Friday 2025 list of Amazon DeWalt deals ran about 15% to 45% off: the DCF787D1 impact driver kit at $99 (from $179), the DCK240C2 drill and driver kit at $149 (from $179), the DCK277D2 brushless kit at $169 (from $249) and a 10-tool kit at $647 (from $999). Bob Vila reported the DCK240C2 kit at $129.
Kits with batteries got the biggest cuts in those lists. Compare any bare-tool price with the prices on this page.
Pick a battery platform first
Each brand's tools run on its own batteries, so the platform you already own matters as much as the tool. If you own one, stay with it and buy bare tools. If you own neither, a kit with batteries is the cheapest way in.
Bob Vila notes Milwaukee's power tool warranty is 5 years and DeWalt's is 3.
Check the seller on bare tools
On October 25, 2026, Amazon itself sold the DeWalt kit, while the four bare tools here were sold by third-party sellers. Prices for bare tools can vary between sellers, so check the seller line and its ratings before you buy.
Before you check out
- Check which batteries you already own.
- Kit or bare tool: kits include batteries and a charger.
- Match the exact model number (DCD794B, 2903-20 and so on).
- Check the seller on bare-tool listings.
- Compare with last Black Friday's price on this page.
How we put this guide together
We don't test power tools. The drill and impact driver picks come from TechGearLab's side-by-side lab tests of cordless drills and impact drivers, the same sources behind our DeWalt vs. Milwaukee guides; warranty details come from Bob Vila. Last year's prices come from Popular Science's and Bob Vila's lists of Amazon's Black Friday 2025 DeWalt deals. Today's prices come from Amazon and are checked three times a day. We earn a commission if you buy through our Amazon links, which doesn't change the price you pay.
Quick answers
Are power tools cheaper on Black Friday?
Kits usually are. Last year Popular Science found Amazon's DeWalt kits 15% to 45% off, including the DCK240C2 drill and impact driver kit at $149, and Bob Vila reported it at $129.
Should I buy DeWalt or Milwaukee?
Buy the one that matches batteries you own. If you own neither, TechGearLab's tests favor the Milwaukee for heavy work and the lighter DeWalt Atomic drill for most household jobs.
What does tool only mean?
The tool comes without a battery or charger. It's cheaper if you already own that brand's batteries.
When is Black Friday 2026?
Friday, November 27, 2026, with Cyber Monday on November 30. In 2025 Amazon's Black Friday Week ran November 20 to December 1.
