Part of why I spend so much time analyzing all of the very many tool deals that we see for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the surrounding holiday shopping season, is because it helps me answer the wave of questions this time of year always brings.
Here are some of the types of questions that I am asked:
What’s a good drill?
Are there any good miter saw promotions?
Which portable table saw would you buy?
Are there any woodworking deals?
Can you recommend a heavy duty impact wrench?
For so many of these and other questions, all I really have to do is point to DeWALT. At one time or another, I have recommended every single one of the tools featured below.
DeWALT is sponsoring some of ToolGuyd’s holiday coverage this year, and you will soon see some of the fun things that this entails. What better way to kick things off than with a look at some of the best holiday deals on DeWALT power tools.
And, the best part is that the sales are happening now at participating DeWALT retailers.
At this point, some of you are saying “but I’ve already got the basics!” We’ve got you covered, and so does DeWALT – check out DeWALT’s latest promotions page, as well as the product links below, and you can be sure that there’s more to come.
Note: The pricing discussed below can be found at participating DeWALT retailers.
DeWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX* Brushless Compact 1/2″ Drill/Driver Kit – DCD708C2
Why buy the DeWALT Atomic 20V Max cordless drill/driver kit when there are so many competing options at the same price point? It offers a great balance between power and size, and I’ve found its handle ergonomics to be perfectly dialed in.
Plus, you get two batteries, which means more time working and less time waiting on the charger.
Priced as low as $99 (normally as high as $159)
DeWALT 20V MAX* 1/4″ Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit – DCF840C2
This is actually a brand new model brushless impact driver, and so I have not tested it myself yet, but I am very eager to get my hands on one. (In fact, this very kit is on my shopping list.)
The DCF840 impact driver is compact, lightweight, and powerful, with a 1700 in-lbs max torque rating. It also has a 3-LED light centered around the bit chuck for even illumination.
Priced as low as $99 (normally as high as $159)
DeWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit – DCK278C2
If you’re looking for a compact cordless drill/driver and impact combo kit, this brushless duo won’t disappoint. I think this combo is one of the best values for the money. If you read through customer reviews (and you should), you’ll see the same feedback repeated over and over – everyone seems to love how powerful these Atomic Series tools are for their size.
Priced as low as $149 (normally as high as $229)
DeWALT 20 MAX* XR Brushless High Torque 1/2″ Impact Wrench with Dent Pin Anvil (4.0 Ah) – DCF899M1
Delivering up to 700 ft-lbs of max fastening torque and 1200 ft-lbs of max breakaway torque, here’s your next heavy-duty impact wrench. It features a brushless motor, multi-speed control, and LED light with 20 second delay. With everything this DeWALT impact offers, it just might turn your favorite air impact into a paperweight. (I’ve still held onto my test sample, and it often comes out whenever a large fastener needs a little extra persuasion.)
Priced as low as $249 (normally as high as $319)
DeWALT 20V MAX* XR 3-Speed Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit – DCS356C1
DeWALT’s 3-speed brushless oscillating multi-tool gives you multiple speed ranges and a variable speed trigger for greater control. Its Quick-Change accessory system is one of the best out there, and its LED worklight is a nice convenience.
I think this is the BEST oscillating multi-tool kit for anywhere close to $100, period.
Priced as low as $99 (normally as high as $179)
DeWALT 20V MAX* XR 5″ Cordless Random Orbital Sander Kit – DCW210D1
This kit gives you DeWALT’s excellent variable speed cordless sander, a charger, kit bag, and a 2.0Ah Li-ion battery.
When I found out a family member was refinishing wood furniture and struggling with an old corded sander that vibrated excessively, this is the sander kit I bought for them.
It’s a wonderful feeling to power-sand a project with cordless freedom.
Priced as low as $99 (normally as high as $199)
DeWALT 20V MAX* Compact 3.0 Ah Battery 2-Pack
The beauty of these DeWALT compact 3.0Ah batteries is that they pair nicely with both compact cordless power tools, and tools where you traditionally needed larger battery packs. They provide 3.0Ah capacity, but with reduced weight.
Priced as low as $99 (normally as high as $179)
DeWALT 12″ Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw – DWS779
DeWALT would have you believe that their DWS779 12″ sliding miter saw delivers power, accuracy, precision, and cutting capacity – and they’re right. This saw has earned its place at the top of the bestsellers list.
The DWS779 has a 15A 3800 RPM motor, stainless steel miter detent plate with 10 positive stops, and dual bevel range adjustment. It can cut nested crown molding up to 7-1/2″, and dimensional lumber up to 2×14 at 90° and 2×10 at 45°.

DeWALT 8-1/4″ Compact Jobsite Table Saw – DWE7485
There are 3 things you need to know about Dewalt’s portable table saws: their rack and pinion fence design is second to none, they power through cutting tasks with gusto, and they come with easy-to-use safety accessories that are conveniently stowed for transport or storage.
Priced as low as $299 (normally as high as $399)
DeWALT 20V MAX* 10 Tool Combo Kit – DCK1020D2
Some tool users prefer to build their kit slowly, with every purchasing decision requiring careful deliberation. Others want maximum bang for the buck and don’t want to get tackling their projects right away. This 10-tool combo kit is for the latter type of shopper, and it brings to the table a broad range of capabilities at a reasonable price point.
This is one of the most popular deals every year, and the type of combo kit I am always asked about.
If you’re looking for something different, let me know and I can put some other recommendations together. Luckily, DeWALT always has a lot of great options to choose from.
Priced as low as $599 (normally as high as $899)
Tip: The 20V Max 3Ah battery 2-pack would be a great add-on to this or any other DeWALT 20V Max cordless combo kit.
* Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
