The Home Depot Tool Deals Worth Gifting This Holiday Season

Shopping for the person whose garage already looks like a hardware aisle is one of the toughest gift assignments of the year. The Home Depot tool deals running this holiday season make it a lot easier. Buy a qualifying DeWalt, Milwaukee, or Ryobi kit, and The Home Depot adds a free select tool from that same brand's lineup at no extra cost. You pick the kit, then you pick the bonus. The offers run through January 31, so there's time to plan. These are the three setups I'd grab first, and our list of the best gifts for men has plenty more ideas.

3 Best Tool Deals at The Home Depot to Gift

DeWalt 20V MAX Is the Upgrade They Won't Buy Themselves

Plenty of DIYers are still running a drill they bought a decade ago, and they'll keep running it until it quits. The DeWalt 20V MAX 8-Tool Combo Kit moves them onto DeWalt's 20V MAX platform, the battery system the rest of its cordless lineup runs on. Inside the box is a hammer drill, impact driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, oscillating tool, grinder, work light, and Bluetooth speaker, plus two batteries and a charger. That's a full garage refresh in one gift.

These are the strongest free tool options for this kit.

• XR Brushless Jig Saw — For curved cuts and detail work.
• XR Compact Router — For edge trimming and basic woodworking.
• 20V/60V FlexVolt 6Ah Battery — A higher-capacity battery that extends runtime on heavier tools.

Think of the kit as the gift and the free tool as the stocking stuffer that comes with it. For someone who only needs a drill, our picks for the best cordless drills have that covered.

DeWalt 20V MAX 8-Tool Combo Kit

Eight tools, two batteries, and a charger. Buy this kit at The Home Depot and pick a free DeWalt tool, like the XR Compact Router or a FlexVolt 6Ah battery, through January 31.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL Is Pro-Grade Gear for the Tool Enthusiast

FUEL is Milwaukee's top brushless tier, the stuff you see hanging off contractors' belts on real job sites. The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2-Piece Combo Kit pairs a hammer drill with an impact driver, the two-tool foundation the entire M18 system builds on.

Three free tool options pair especially well with this kit.

• FUEL Hackzall — A one-handed reciprocating saw for demolition and pruning.
• FUEL Surge 1/4" Impact Driver — Uses a hydraulic drive that runs quieter than a standard impact driver.
• M18 Inflator — Fills car tires, bike tires, and pool floats.

Every one of those runs on the same M18 batteries that come with the kit. For someone already on the Milwaukee platform, that means filling a gap in their lineup without buying another battery. For someone brand new, it's three M18 tools on day one.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2-Piece Combo Kit

A FUEL hammer drill and impact driver on Milwaukee's pro-grade M18 platform. Buy this kit at The Home Depot and pick a free M18 tool, like the FUEL Hackzall or M18 Inflator, through January 31.

Ryobi ONE+ Is the Gift That Starts (or Expands) a Whole System

Every toolbox starts somewhere, and Ryobi is where a lot of them begin. The Ryobi ONE+ 18V 1/2" Drill/Circular Saw Combo Kit covers the two tools that handle most weekend projects, with two batteries and a charger in the box. It's the most affordable kit of the three, which makes it the easy pick for a new homeowner or the friend who's been borrowing a neighbor's drill for years.

These three free tool options make the most sense for a starter setup.

• ONE+ Compact Router — An easy entry point into woodworking.
• ONE+ Jig Saw — Handles the curved cuts a circular saw can't.
• Dual Function Inflator/Deflator — Inflates tires and sports balls and deflates air mattresses.

All three run on the same ONE+ batteries that come in the kit, and those batteries work across Ryobi's entire 18V lineup.

Ryobi ONE+ 18V Drill/Circular Saw Combo Kit

A drill, circular saw, two batteries, and a charger, the easiest way into Ryobi's ONE+ system. Buy this kit at The Home Depot and pick a free ONE+ tool, like the Compact Router or Jig Saw, through January 31.

A Tool Gift With a Bonus Built In

One gift is great, but two is even better, especially when you're not paying for the second one. And hey, you don't have to tell them it was free. A quick, sneaky question about what they'd actually use makes the bonus pick feel personal.

The offers run through January 31, but don't wait until the last minute. Stock tends to move fast as the holidays get closer, and nobody wants to be hunting down a sold-out kit the week before Christmas. DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Ryobi all live under one roof at The Home Depot, so the whole shopping list gets done in one stop.
