We may be biased, but discounted tools are among the most sought-after deals when the holiday shopping season kicks off. Lucky for us, Black Friday 2024 does not disappoint—it might even be the best year so far for buy-one-get-one deals! So good that we’re already seeing some deals sell out (like the bonus tool The Home Depot offered with a purchase of the DeWalt 20V Cordless 3-Tool Combo Kit). We scoured the internet and found free tool deals on top brands, including DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita. No matter which brand you stock in the workshop, you’re bound to find a little something special below.

And the free tools you can snag include circular saws, cordless drills, and a host of others typically valued anywhere from $99 to $219. Check out our list of free tools and BOGO deals, but bear in mind: These deals won’t last, and supplies are limited.

The trick to getting the free tool deal at Lowe’s is to add the impact driver kit to your cart first and then select your free gift on that page. As you’ll see by clicking into the circular saw, impact wrench, or rechargeable battery, none of these have an obvious way to add them to your cart for free. (But they do show off hundreds of other customers’ happy reviews and the specs that will help you choose between tools.)
