In a recent post, I mentioned that I still have gift card funds to spend, thanks to our recent paid partnership with Home Depot to share about their Labor Day Savings Event. So, I’ve been doing some shopping.
What better way to stretch the value of that gift card than to shop Home Depot’s Labor Day 2020 tool deals? Seriously, I want to max out the value of this gift card, and so I’ve been browsing the sale for items on my wishlist, and in the process I have uncovered more deals and savings that warrant discussion.
First, a quick look at the deals:

What’s the Catch?
Exactly!
The Dewalt cordless drill deal features their excellent 20V Max DCD791 brushless compact dril/driver, and the impact driver deal features Dewalt’s also excellent DCF887 brushless multi-mode impact driver.
In each deal, you get the premium brushless cordless power tool, a battery, charger, and (1) Li-ion battery.
That by itself would raise an engage my attention.
That battery is a 5.0Ah Li-ion pack. Sure, you only get one, but this Dewalt’s highest capacity 10-cell battery pack without getting into their larger and heavier higher-capacity batteries.
This is unusual, for a promo kit to come with a 5.0Ah battery.
But, if you price-shop around for these SKUs, DCD791P1 and DCF887P1, a couple of other retailers carry them, and for $199. That makes sense, since the 2x 2.0Ah battery kits are similarly priced, and to me this makes Home Depot’s $129 promo pricing even more appealing.
Dewalt’s cordless drill and driver deals, even their brushless drill and impact driver special buys, usually come with a low-capacity compact battery pack. With their $99 deals, you typically get an entry-featured drill or single-speed impact driver bundled with a 1.3Ah or sometimes 1.5Ah battery.
Here, with these deals you get a useful high capacity battery pack, one you could use with Dewalt’s other 20V Max tools, even their heavier duty tools – such as their cordless saws.
You even get belt clips with the tools! That’s an area where pennies are sometimes pinched with drill and impact driver deals and special buys. Whether you want a belt clip or not, it’s always better to get one with a tool. It’s easier to have one and not want it than to try to source one if it’s not included.
With these deals, you get complete kits – and with great batteries (sorry, last time I’ll mention it!) – for less money ($10) than I could find the bare tools selling for at other retailers.
These are the best Dewalt cordless drill and impact driver deals of 2020. Pandemic effects and uncertainties aside, we always see a breadth of $99 cordless and brushless drill and impact drivers every winter holiday season. But the deals discussed here are better tools at very good bargains.
These two deals cost a little more money – $129 compared to $99, but you get a LOT for it. If you can budget for it, these offer a lot of bang for the buck.

I satisfied the blog post part of our partnership with Home Depot here: Home Depot Labor Day Tool Deals: 10 Best Bargains (2020), and so this post and our live Milwaukee M12 giveaway aren’t explicitly included in that. Still, since more posts – even if unsponsored – align with the spirit of the arrangement, it’s best if you consider everything connected until we reach the end of the partnership.
