Flex StackPack, DeWalt PowerStack Deals, and More: What's New at Lowe's
New Flex storage and nailers, a buy-one-get-one DeWalt PowerStack deal, Craftsman V20 savings, and tool chest clearance worth knowing about.
Introduction
A trip through the tool aisles turned up a solid mix of new releases and ongoing promotions: fresh storage options from Flex, a buy-one-get-one-free starter kit tied to a new brad nailer, one of the best battery deals going, and some clearance pricing on tool chests and bags. Here is what stood out and who each pick makes sense for.
Flex StackPack Storage System
Flex’s new StackPack lineup includes larger totes with hard bottoms, a job site radio, and smaller organizers that look strikingly similar to the DeWalt options sold at Home Depot. The catch is price: the smaller organizers run about $40, a bit more than the equivalent DeWalt units.

For anyone already invested in the Flex 24V platform, the StackPack system is worth a look, especially now that Flex tools carry a 5-year warranty, matching Milwaukee’s coverage. Some shoppers remain loyal to the brand despite recent battery concerns, so it is worth checking the lineup in person.
Flex 18V Brad Nailer
Alongside the storage, there is a new Flex 18-gauge brad nailer on display. What makes this more interesting is the bundled promotion: buy the brad nailer and get a starter kit free.

That effectively turns a single-tool purchase into a full kit with batteries and a charger, which is a strong entry point if you are considering the Flex platform. Note that this is a Lowe’s promotion, and unlike some Home Depot deals, it is not a hackable offer.
DeWalt PowerStack Buy One, Get One Free
DeWalt is running a buy-one-get-one-free deal where you buy any eligible tool and receive a free two-pack of 1.7Ah PowerStack batteries. With so many tools eligible, this is one of the cheapest entry points around: an orbital sander or oscillating tool at $169 becomes a great deal once you factor in the free battery pack.

The reciprocating saw, 1/2-inch impact wrench, and even the rotary hammer are all included, making this a genuinely strong offer. DeWalt’s PowerStack line is also leading the pack in the mid- and high-torque categories right now, which makes the free batteries even more valuable.
Craftsman V20 Starter Kit Deal
Craftsman’s offer is straightforward: buy a V20 starter kit and get a free select tool of your choice. The kit costs $150 and includes two 4Ah batteries, which is solid on its own. The free-tool list is not clearly labeled in store, so you need to look up each eligible tool individually to confirm.
If you want even more value, an eight-tool Craftsman kit is down to $300. It includes an orbital sander, jigsaw, impact driver, drill, multi-tool, circular saw, and reciprocating saw with two 2Ah batteries. For a full cordless lineup at that price, it is hard to beat.
Tool Chest Clearance
The tool chest section shows clearance pricing, though how aggressive it is depends on the store and its overstock level. A 41-inch upper and lower cabinet combo is down to around $700, with the unit behind it only marked down about $100 total between the two pieces. That is not a great deal yet, and patience may pay off if stock lingers.

Bags and smaller storage are also on clearance: a ToughBuilt massive mouth bag is down from $65 to $58, and the Extreme Tool backpack drops from $60 to $35, which is a genuinely good deal and includes a 5-year warranty. On the other end, a $150 DeWalt rolling tool bag with a water-resistant compartment feels overpriced for what it is, and it has stayed fully stocked at every location visited, which says a lot about its value.
Buying Advice
If you need batteries, the DeWalt PowerStack buy-one-get-one deal is the standout, especially paired with a $169 sander or oscillating tool. For first-time platform buyers, the Flex brad nailer with a free starter kit or the Craftsman V20 kit at $150 both make sense depending on which ecosystem you prefer. On storage, skip the $150 rolling bag unless water resistance alone justifies it for you, and wait for deeper clearance on the bigger chest combos unless your local store is discounting more aggressively.
Conclusion
There is no single must-buy here, but there are several genuinely good deals: free PowerStack batteries with almost any DeWalt tool, a free starter kit with Flex’s new brad nailer, a $150 Craftsman V20 kit with a bonus tool, and a $35 tool backpack with a 5-year warranty. Check your local store’s clearance section, since overstock levels vary widely, and the best deals may depend entirely on which location you visit.
