These are the Lowe's Black Friday tool deals I found in the store this year, plus the tools I bought and tested in my shop. The best one is the DeWALT DCB2108-2C kit with three free tools. I also found CRAFTSMAN V20 kits (CMCK201D2) at $59 and a Klein Tools 65306KNECT pass through socket set under $50.
The Short Answer
- The best Lowe's Black Friday tool deal I found is the $499 DeWALT kit with three free tools, two 8Ah PowerPack batteries, and a fast charger.
- CRAFTSMAN V20 drill and impact kits are $59 each, down from $99, with a battery and charger.
- Kobalt has a $149 starter kit with two batteries plus a free tool.
- Best small buy: the Lowe's exclusive Klein Tools pass through socket set, under $50.
- The DeWALT deal runs through January 2027, but free tool choices started selling out last year.

DeWALT Black Friday Free Tool Deal at Lowe's
I call this one choose your own adventure, and it is probably the best deal going right now. You buy a DeWALT starter kit and pick one, two, or three free tools. The $199 kit gets you one free tool. The $299 kit gets you two free tools and includes a PowerPack battery.
The $499 kit is the one I would pick. You get three free tools, two 8Ah PowerPack batteries, and the fast charger. Those are top of the line batteries, which makes this the best value of the three.
My first pick is the new DeWALT 5 inch sander that came out a couple months ago. I absolutely love that sander. The DeWALT router is my second pick, because it is fantastic. For the third tool, pick whatever fits your needs.
This deal goes through January 2027. Last year, several of the free tools started selling out before the deal ended. If you want it, I would not sit on this one.

The video shows each tool in use, including the pass through socket on a nut, the router bits in maple, and the CRAFTSMAN drill and impact under load.
CRAFTSMAN V20 Drill and Impact Black Friday Deal: $59 Each
I saw these on an end cap at Lowe's and thought the price had to be a mistake. The CRAFTSMAN V20 drill and impact are $59 each, down from $99. Each one comes with a battery and a charger. There is also a combo kit, model CMCK201D2, with both tools.
CRAFTSMAN is one of the most underrated cordless brands on the market right now. A few months ago I tested the CRAFTSMAN V20 router, and I still use it and still love it. Adding this drill and driver to that set is a no-brainer.
The drill is a two-speed drill with a clutch. It is a standard drill, not a hammer drill, which is perfect for around the house. I ran a spade bit and a Forstner bit through a 2x board, and it went right through. You will not have any trouble with regular drilling.
The impact is single speed and takes any 1/4 inch hex bit. In solid white oak, it drove a 4 inch screw and a 2 1/2 inch screw all the way in. Both tools feel solid in the hand with a good grip, and they are not oversized. If you do not have large hands, these will fit you well.
The one thing to know is batteries. These kits come with 2Ah batteries, which are fine for drilling holes and driving screws. For more power and run time, I recommend the CRAFTSMAN V20 ADVANCED tabless batteries. They make a big difference with a router or a lot of hole drilling.

Kobalt Black Friday Free Tool Deal at Lowe's
If you are on the Kobalt platform, this one is worth a look. The $149 starter kit comes with two batteries, and you choose one free tool. You can also pick the $299 kit and get two free tools. That is a pretty good deal on Kobalt.

DeWALT $99 Tool Kits and Battery Deal
DeWALT has some sneaky good deals going alongside the free tool bundles. You can pick the 20v drill, impact, or oscillating tool kit for only $99. The DeWALT battery two-pack is $159. If you are already on DeWALT and just need one tool or more batteries, start here.

Klein Tools Pass Through Socket Set (65306KNECT)
Klein Tools has been one of the most impressive tool companies of 2026. This pass through socket set is a Lowe's exclusive, and it is under $50. I think it will sell out before the end of the holidays at this price. You get the ratchet plus SAE and metric sockets. Yes, it has a 10mm socket. Just don't lose it.
The ratchet is very low profile, so it gets into tight spaces and fits the hand well. On a 7/16 inch nut, the socket slides down over the bolt and keeps driving until it tightens up. That means I do not need deep sockets anymore.
When you need a true deep socket, the included extension pops in and turns any socket into one. The adapter lets you run the sockets in an impact for nut driving. A 1/4 inch adapter also takes your driver bits, so it works like a screwdriver too.
It is MODbox compatible, so it stacks with other Klein cases. Because it covers shallow and deep sockets in one small case, I think it will replace a lot of your other socket kits. At this price, it is a must buy in my opinion.

Klein Tools 20-in-1 Screwdriver With Flip Sockets (32303HD)
This is a genius level screwdriver and nut driver combination. The handle hides a bunch of bits, including Torx, flathead, and several Phillips sizes. Pop one out, pop it in the end, and you have a multi-bit screwdriver.
Pull the bit holder and you get flip sockets. It covers 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 inch. The shaft also comes out and takes any 1/4 inch bit you own. It is impact rated, so you can chuck it into your impact.
It was $39 and now it is $29. This is one of those tools you pick up and are glad you got.

Best Tool Kit for a New Homeowner: Kobalt Homeowner's Tool Kit (55285)
I think this kit should be in every home, whether you rent, own, or are just starting a shop. I have two adult kids who bought homes this year, and this would be the perfect gift. It has a tool for almost every small fix or project around the house.
You get a hammer and tape measure, plus a socket set with a ratchet and a utility knife. There is a small hardware kit for hanging pictures. It also has a screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, heavy duty scissors, precision screwdrivers, Allen keys, and bit sets.
This is the kind of kit you stick in the closet. When you need it, you will be glad you had it.

Klein Tools Construction Jack: Lifts 350 lbs (77000)
If you don't have one of these in your shop or on your job site, it is a must have. It works as a spreader and as a jack, and it lifts up to 350 lbs. It works like a squeeze clamp, so raising and lowering is very simple.
We use ours at home all the time to lift furniture and put sliders under it. My wife likes to redecorate, so it gets plenty of use. It comes with non-marring shoes, and it is great for leveling cabinets during installs.
This is one of the best priced jacks I have seen on the market. It is $20 off until January 2027.

Budget Woodworking Tools I Bought at Lowe's
SKIL 15pc Router Bit Set (RTB7501)
For around $50, this is a perfect starter set if you want router bits without breaking the bank. It covers most of the edge profiles and grooves you will use, with three roundovers and a chamfer bit. It is a good way to learn which bits you use most before upgrading.
Maple is notorious for burning when bits are dull or low quality. I put the chamfer bit in my CRAFTSMAN router and ran it on maple. The cut was smooth and clean with zero burning.

Jorgensen 4pc Chisel Set (70430)
I did not know Jorgensen made chisels. I have used their hand planes before, including a little chamfer plane. This set is just under $45 and includes 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch chisels.
Straight out of the package, they made wispy curls on maple. All four were fairly sharp out of the box, and they will be even better with an edge put on them. The rubberized grip feels good, and there is a spot on the end for a mallet. Most sets at this price only give you three chisels, so the fourth is a bonus.

Kobalt 105pc Bit Set (1468)
Today was supposed to be day one of not buying bit sets. I bought this one anyway because it is an incredible value right now. It has drill bits, spade bits, driver bits, and longer extended Phillips and magnetic tip bits.
The other side holds nut drivers and almost every bit you need, including Torx, Phillips, and flathead. It also has a 1/4 inch socket adapter for your drill or impact. You can never have too many bits, especially when you need one and don't have it.

Pony Spring Clamp Set (93260) and Clamping Squares
You cannot have too many clamps in a woodworking shop. This 14 piece Pony set was priced well, and the clamps are pretty stout. The bigger ones are hard to squeeze one-handed, so you may need both hands.
The small ones are great for small parts, boxes, and holding two small boards together during glue ups. Pair them with clamping squares for 90 degree glue ups and joinery. That combo is very handy for boxes and cabinetry.

Small Parts Organizer
Every shop collects screws, bits, and small parts. I picked up these organizers at about $12 for two, one small and one large. Both have removable dividers, and the larger one has room for sandpaper too. They keep everything in sight so you know what you have.

CRAFTSMAN Tool Storage Black Friday Deals
Lowe's also has early Black Friday deals on CRAFTSMAN tool storage. I found a rolling tool cabinet and a rolling utility cart, with multiple colors to choose from. These are really nice boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do the Lowe's Black Friday tool deals end?
The DeWALT free tool deal runs through January 2027. The CRAFTSMAN starter kit with a free tool runs through January 20, 2027. The Klein Tools Construction Jack is $20 off until January 2027. Last year, several free tool choices started selling out early, so I would not wait.
Which free tools should I pick with the DeWALT Black Friday deal?
My first pick is the new DeWALT 5 inch sander. The DeWALT router is my second pick. For the third, choose whatever fits the work you do most. I would go with the $499 kit, since it includes two 8Ah PowerPack batteries and a fast charger.
Does the DeWALT Lowe's free tool deal come with batteries?
Yes. Each tier is a starter kit, and the $299 kit includes a PowerPack battery. The $499 kit includes two 8Ah PowerPack batteries plus the fast charger. That battery package is why I think the top tier is the best value.
Is the Klein pass through socket set worth it?
I think it is a must buy at under $50. The sockets pass over the bolt, so you rarely need deep sockets. The extension covers the times you do, and adapters let you use it in an impact or as a screwdriver. It can replace a lot of separate socket kits in one small case.
Are CRAFTSMAN V20 tools any good?
I think CRAFTSMAN is one of the most underrated cordless brands right now. The V20 drill went through a 2x board with a Forstner bit, and the impact drove a 4 inch screw into white oak. I have also used the CRAFTSMAN V20 router for months and still love it. Upgrade from the included 2Ah batteries if you plan to run a router.
What is a good tool kit for a new homeowner?
The Kobalt Homeowner's Tool Kit is what I would give a new homeowner. It includes a hammer, tape measure, socket set, utility knife, pliers, screwdrivers, Allen keys, bits, and a picture hanging kit. Two of my adult kids bought homes this year, and this would be a perfect gift for either of them.
