Update 11/25/24: This year is exciting so far, for a couple of reasons. First, we’re getting a lot of great ‘Tool Only’ deals, more so than the usual drill + battery + charger combos we typically see. This is great for consistent readers who already have batteries. Now is a great time to expand your Milwaukee gear. The other cool thing is the starter kit we see from Home Depot, which is incredibly flexible and lets you pick a tool you want. This completely blows the old perception that the drill locks you into the system out of the water. Check out Home Depot’s “build your own” deal NOW if you want to get into Milwaukee but already have a drill you know and love.

- How we chose these Black Friday Milwaukee tool deals
Black Friday is coming up on November 29th, but you don’t have to wait to start shopping. That’s because early Black Friday deals start now, as retailers and manufacturers know that you don’t desire to wait or have the time for just one day’s worth of purchasing. And Milwaukee, the popular tool maker you know and trust, is no different. We’ve collected deals on popular Milwaukee tools — including the best and most essential tools — and accessories here. As you look, acknowledge two things. One, there are two separate battery lines, the M12 and the M18, so if you have some Milwaukee batteries, it pays to take a moment and check which ones you have before taking in all of the deals. Two, some of these deals come with batteries, and others are “Tool Only” deals, which can inevitably save you more money (and space) in the long run.
Milwaukee M18 Cut Out Tool (Tool Only) — $93 $149 38% off
This cut-out tool is perfect for making cuts into drywall or other thin, flat surfaces. It also has a long grip for a comfortable hold on it, making it easier to make precision cuts. And at 38% off, you can feel even better about your buy.
Milwaukee M12 Polisher (Tool Only) — $121 $253 52% off
Grab this and one of the best car waxes and get your car looking shiny and new or use one of the other pads that come with it (it comes with a polishing backing pad, sanding backing pad, wool pad, yellow foam pad, and white foam pad) to get whatever else needs doing done. Even better? It’s more than half off.
Milwaukee M12 Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit — $194 $429 55% off
Milwaukee is known for making some of the best cordless drills, and this kill will get you started with a drill and driver combo (with batteries, a charger, and a nice carry bag) to get you through that small DIY home project you might encounter later this year. At 55% off, you save $235.
Home Depot’s build your own Milwaukee M18 Bundle — $199 $397 50% off
If you have an independent streak, this is perhaps the deal for you. Home Depot gives you a tool of your choice (just click the dashed-line box labeled ‘FREE’ to choose) alongside these M18 batteries and an M18/M12 charger. This is, by far, one of the easiest ways to get started with Milwaukee and use a tool of your choice — plus, it’s 50% off.
Milwaukee M18 16-inch Chainsaw (Tool Only) — $299 $320 6% off
You may already know how to split wood for your fire, but you have to get the pieces of wood somehow to start with. This 16-inch chainsaw, capable of making approximately 150 cuts on a charge, is a great and reliable solution for getting what you need cut down. A 6% savings brings the price down to under $300.
How to pick a Milwaukee tool for Black Friday
It might seem a bit dim-witted, but Milwaukee tools aren’t as simple as other battery-powered, cordless tool brands. They’re split into the M12 lines and M18 lines, which you’ll need to keep straight. While that’s the only thing you’ll have to remember, it can be a real bummer to come home with an M18 tool and find that you only have M12 batteries. (On that note, luckily, they have chargers that are capable of working with both battery styles.)
As is always the case with shopping for battery-powered power tools during the holidays, those batteries are a big deal. If you already have batteries (again, double-check if it is M12 or M18), then you might want to check out the increasingly popular ‘Tool Only’ deals that save you from buying a new battery with each purchase. However, Black Friday is also a great time to get a bundle at a discount and jumpstart your collection.
How we chose these Black Friday Milwaukee tool deals
Variety and price. These really are the two most important factors when it comes to tools.
While price is hopefully at least somewhat straightforward (we looked for good deals from reliable retailers) what do we mean by variety? Here, variety means both a variety of types of tools (we don’t want to offer ten circular saws, for instance) and a variety of ways to buy. We looked through ‘Tool Only’ deals, tool bundles, and tool-with-battery deals to get you the best. And, since it is Milwaukee, we made sure to have some balance between the M12 and M18 lines as well.
