Best Power Tool Deals Right Now: Eight Kits and Accessories Worth a Look

Introduction

The weeks heading into the holidays are usually the best stretch of the year for tool deals, and this season is no exception. Milwaukee is running some of the strongest promotions out there, Lowe’s has several fresh bundle offers, and Amazon has a couple of standout prices on Makita and Metabo HPT gear.

Below are eight deals that make sense for different buyers, whether you are building your first kit or filling gaps in a well-stocked collection.

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Ratchet and Screwdriver Combo Kit

This two-tool combo pairs the M12 cordless ratchet with the M12 cordless screwdriver for $99, and it is one of the easier recommendations on this list. The ratchet in particular is one of those tools that most people do not appreciate until they own one, then it becomes indispensable for everything from automotive work to furniture assembly. At this price you are essentially paying battery-and-charger money and getting two tools with it.

Both tools are brushed rather than brushless, and Milwaukee backs them with a five-year warranty. For a second kit or a set of handy around-the-house tools, it is a great value.

Milwaukee M12 Fuel Surge Hydraulic Impact Driver

The M12 Fuel Surge is the hydraulic impact driver in Milwaukee’s lineup, and its main appeal is how much quieter it is than most conventional impact drivers. At $150 it comes with a new 2.5Ah M12 battery, though you will need to supply your own charger, which is worth factoring in if you are new to the M12 platform.

If you already own M12 batteries and a charger, this is a particularly clean buy.

Milwaukee M12 Fuel Impact Driver Gen 3 Kit

If you would rather save $50 and get a charger included, the latest generation M12 Fuel impact driver kit at $99 is the smarter route for many buyers. You get the impact driver, a 2.0Ah battery, a charger, and a carrying case. This is genuine Fuel-line performance rather than a stripped-down variant.

Makita 60-Piece XPS Impact Bit Set

Makita’s new 60-piece XPS impact bit set is down to about $38 from its usual price of around $40, and it packs a lot of useful bits into one case. In testing, Makita’s bits land comfortably in second place for durability, behind Bosch, which remain the longest-lasting option with excellent grip. As a second-place performer at this price, the set is easy to recommend if you go through bits regularly.

Makita Brushless Jigsaw

Amazon has Makita’s all-new brushless jigsaw for $134, which is well below the roughly $210 retail price. For context, the same tool at Home Depot currently sits at $200 with two 5Ah batteries. Buying through Amazon makes sense if you want the tool only, since returning the batteries and charger elsewhere would bring the effective cost down to roughly the same figure anyway. If you simply want the jigsaw without the hassle, $134 arriving quickly is a strong deal.

Metabo HPT Impact and Drill Set

This combo kit keeps dropping in price and now sits at $120, which is remarkable for what you get. It was easily the best drill and impact set tested this year, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and it includes the newer two-speed batteries with a fuel gauge. It also qualifies for the free 3Ah battery promotion running through January 1st.

For anyone starting a cordless collection on a budget, this is one of the best values available right now.

Craftsman Six Tool Combo Kit

Lowe’s has a six-tool Craftsman combo kit with two batteries and a charger, plus a free 4Ah battery with purchase. It is available both in store and online, and it fits the wave of $99-style tool kit promotions happening everywhere right now. For a household starter set, six tools at this price is hard to beat.

There is also a Craftsman oscillating tool kit with a battery and charger around the $99 mark if you only need one more tool rather than a full kit.

DeWalt Drill and Impact Kit

The DeWalt drill and impact kit sits at $350 and includes a free 8Ah battery with purchase. That effectively gives you three substantial batteries in the box: an 8Ah, a 3Ah, and the bonus free 8Ah. If you are already invested in the DeWalt platform, the free high-capacity battery alone adds serious value to an otherwise standard two-tool kit.

Overall Buying Advice

If you are starting from zero, the Metabo HPT set at $120 with a lifetime warranty is the strongest value. If you want a useful second kit for around the house, the Milwaukee M12 ratchet and screwdriver combo at $99 is a fun, practical pick. Platform owners should look at the battery-inclusive deals: the DeWalt free 8Ah battery and the Metabo HPT bonus 3Ah promotion both add long-term value beyond the tools themselves.

Expect more deals to appear as the holidays get closer, so if nothing here fits, it is worth checking back in a few days.

Conclusion

This is a good moment to buy tools: Milwaukee’s M12 lineup is heavily discounted, Lowe’s bundle offers are unusually generous, and the Makita and Metabo HPT prices on Amazon are well below typical retail. Match the deal to your platform and your actual needs, and any of these eight should serve you well.
