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.

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.

DeWALT 20V MAX* 1/4″ Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit – DCF840C2

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.

DeWALT 20V MAX* 10 Tool Combo Kit – DCK1020D2

This is one of the most popular deals every year, and the type of combo kit I am always asked about.
