Amazon’s Big Prime Day deal days kicked off today, with Home Depot also joining in on the tool deals, featuring popular brands such as Milwaukee Tool, Dewalt, Ryobi, and more.
Home Depot has a lot of pro-oriented tool deals for the October 2024 Prime Day sales event, and a couple for DIYers too. The selection is broad, with discounts and bundle sales on select cordless power tools, workshop tools, power tool accessories, and hand tools.
Following are some of the deals that stood out to me.

Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit with HO Battery – $339
Milwaukee’s flagship cordless power tool duo is discounted and bundled with a High Output 8Ah battery. If you were looking for the same combo kit to be bundled with a different tool or battery, maybe check back in November.
Dewalt 20V Max 6-Tool Cordless Power Tool Combo Kit with Tool Box – $499
This looks like a pretty good starter kit for homeowners and value-minded pros who can use all of its inclusions – a hammer drill, impact driver, circular saw, oscillating multi-tool, angle grinder, sander, charger, 5Ah battery, 2Ah battery, and ToughSystem rolling tool box. All of the tools have brushless motoers.
Dewalt 20V Max 10-Tool Cordless Power Tool Combo Kit – $629
If you want more bang for the buck, consider this 10-tool combo kit – if you like the mix of tools it comes with.

Ryobi 18V 12-Tool Cordless Power Tool Combo Kit – $629
Ryobi threw a whole lot of tools into this bundle, including a miter saw and 3 Li-ion batteries. It’s for the homeowner that wants to start off with as much as possible.
Milwaukee M18 Fuel Plunge Cutting Track Saw with Battery – $329
Looking to get started with Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel track saw? Here you go! This bundle is a great price, but you’ll need to source your own guide rail.
Ryobi Speed Bench Work Station with Link Parts Organizer – $199
A reader asked if there were going to be any deals on Ryobi’s new rolling work stand. Here you go! It’s bundled with a Link parts organizer for the same price as just the work table typically retails for.
$199 for the mobile workstation, or for that plus a parts organizer? Easy decision.
Milwaukee M12 Fuel Cordless Spot Blower with Starter Kit – $109
This M12 Fuel compact blower is very small and lightweight – it’s a great choice for smaller cleanup tasks.
Dewalt DWS780 Sliding Miter Saw with Folding Stand Bundle – $649
What better way to get started with Dewalt’s flagship 12″ sliding miter saw than with a solid folding stand?
Milwaukee 3pc Step Drill Bit Set – $64.97
These cordless drill step drill bits can create clean holes in sheet metal materials.
Milwaukee M12 Cordless Tire Inflator with Battery Starter Kit – $109
Your car called – it would like you to check on your tires’ air pressure before the seasonal weather starts to change to much. This kit gets you started with an inflator, 2x 2Ah batteries, and a charger.
Milwaukee 30pc Combination Wrench Set – $179
I love these Milwaukee combo wrenches, and from the sales page there are a couple more options. This set doesn’t ratchet, but another does.
Want smaller sets? The 15pc SAE set is available for $90
There are a lot more tool deals than these – give the Home Depot sales page a quick look.

Any opinions on that Milwaukee wrench set? Seems like a good price. I’ve been looking at Tekton, Craftsman V Series, and Icon.
Kentucky fan
If you want this price range and imported the craftsman overdrive set is a direct copy of the mac rbrt they compete with snap on flank drive plus in tool tests. This Milwaukee set is functionally identical to icon from harbor freight and carlysle from Napa if you can find a better deal or will have easier warranty with either of those places then go for it. These are extremely good wrenches for the price though you would be hard pressed to find a better deal for a complete set like this.
Johnez
Milwaukee is not identical to Harbor Freight, nor NAPA Carlyle. The difference being the I-beam handle design. Milwaukee is more on par with the Mac RBRT with both the open end bite design and the I-beam. This is a killer deal and these wrenches are absolutely a step above HF and the lower tier Taiwan rebrands.
Rich
Wow good info Johnez.I bought the Crafstman metrics set that Stuart posted earlier this year. They are thin and really light weight, short in length. Not bad but this SAE/Met set looks so cool. I need it too. If as you say that its top quality or a killer deal. Yeah, I better bite.
1 per order limit Home Depot. Drats $194.75 after tax. Will be here tomorrow? Order in. I expect the best! In store return.
Anyone seen a huge wolf yard piece like the hallowwen crow (30″) at h.d.? I need a super-sized (6 foot) plastic wolf)
Stuart
I’ve been using them for a while and they’ve been perfect for me. The trays are convenient – I’ve got SAE combo and ratcheting wrenches in one drawer, and metric in the other, and they fit together well.
Kim Fergerson
In the description of the DeWalt tool kit item number two, you list two angle grinders but you didn’t put the orbital sander. Proofreading is essential in journalism. You’re welcome!
Stuart
Thanks! *fixed*
Not that this justifies it, but I had been up for around 22 hours when I was working on the post. I pull all-nighters on Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday to ensure morning readers get a heads-up before they get to work, as a lot of the better deals tend to sell out through the day. I caught a bunch of mistakes during proofreading, and this wouldn’t be the first time I missed one.
Johnez
I have the ratcheting set, very high quality. I got em as a step up from regular craftsman, gear wrench, and Pittsburg wrenches had the open end spread on me on some tough nuts, so far Milwaukee has not failed me. The “bite” on the open end works well, and I-beam handle is quite nice. Many of my industrial maintenance bros scoff at paying for the “Milwaukee” name, but I am simply interested in what works and what will not fail on me. Should these fail, I’ll probably go a step higher into Mac, Proto, or Snapon for my 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 at the least.
RzorroK
My son is considering going into industrial maintenance. It’s possible this set could end up in his toolbox at some point. Any tips/recommendations for someone going into that field?
Johnez
Attitude is everything. Skill and knowledge can be taught, you cannot teach a willingness to learn-and managers know this. When your son gets an interview have him tour the plants. If he has to interview 10-20 times to get the job, he’s now got information on 10-20 plants he does or doesn’t want to work at. There are dilapidated plants fraught with hazards and sleek modern plants that invest in safety and their people-once he has time under his belt he can build a shortlist of dream plants to work at. If he’s young and with few bills, just getting in is going to be the focus, once he has a year or two under his belt he can explore and go for his dream job. Working nights for at least the first few years is almost guaranteed. Be ready for that. Plants close, maintain good contacts. When he gets the job, find the best 2-3 techs and shadow them. Pick their brains.

Thought this was interesting today for Home Depot:
Home Depot Inc. will begin requiring corporate employees to work a full day at one of its stores every quarter, a move the company said is aimed at supporting its retail staff.
RzorroK
As a ‘corporate’ IT guy who’s worked for retailers, manufacturers, and currently a construction company, I can assure HD that having people like me show up at a site to provide ‘support’ is 100% likely to lead to more work for everyone involved. That said, if it gets me out of the office, I would love to get out there and see what a day is like out in the field.
Scott K
That’s really interesting. Hopefully this helps decision makers better empathize with those on the ground. Maybe some processes will be streamlined or headaches cured.

Okay… I have to ask… If it’s “Prime Day”… Meaning Amazon… Why are they deals at Home Depot, or anywhere else? Do they sell and ship by Amazon in the USA, as well as their own shipping methods? Or are they just putting on deals to compete with Amazon’s?
We have the same Prime Day up North, but I’m not seeing any of the Canadian stores jumping on it like this… Perhaps the Home Depot locations up here are, with different deals obviously, but the likes of Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Princess Auto, and Atlas Tools, aren’t jumping on the bandwagon, so to speak. I know this is a stupid question, that’s why it has taken me so much time to muster up enough courage to ask it. Are they shipping via Amazon for Prime Day, or are they just trying to make this another spending spree for themselves?
Stuart
Target and Walmart also have a week of deals. October Prime Day has turned into an early holiday season sales event. Consumers are opening their wallets for Amazon Prime deals, and other big box retailers want a piece of the action.
JoeM
Ah. Okay. Thank You, Stuart! I felt rather lost for a bit there… It’s been stewing for several years now… Was just afraid to ask.

Talked to my Stih dealer for the gas backpack blower 800x $600. An arborist came through last year and blew my yard in 2 seconds versus the time it takes me to hand rake=aeons. Looking at the Milwaukie battery blower – lol. I’m biting on the Stihl. Way overkill and $$$ but one-and-done. My Toro mower and this Stihl will get me by just fine. Way over the top but makes short work of it. I have to convince myself somehow. $600 after $50 off.
1 gal of Stihl gas? $35 ugh.
Gas Blower!
MM
That Stihl fuel is expensive but it is amazing for “winterizing” or for tools you don’t use all that often because of its insanely long shelf life. I have several pieces of Stihl OPE I’ve owned for 7+ years at this point, I make sure to use that in the fall, and I have yet to deal with a single clogged carburetor or other issues when I get the tools out in the spring. A couple of those tools I tend to use only a handful of times a year and they still start up first or second pull even after sitting for months in my shed. It’s much too expensive to use in large quantities but I love it for tools that see infrequent use and for winter storage.
Scott K
I had an Echo backpack blower that worked well for a while but I began to have a recurring issue. I finally got fed up, had it repaired, and sold it. I think I bought the same Stihl as you – I used it for about half a season and love it. I use it occasionally in the winter to clear light snow when there isn’t enough to justify the snow blower.
G Greene
You only need to use the ‘Stihl’ gas for first start of the season and ‘last tank’ of the season if you’re going to leave fuel in it. Other than that, mix your own for cheap. The issue isn’t the gas, per se, it’s leaving as with ethanol in it sitting in the tank, carb, lines, etc. I’ve been doing this for years and ‘first startups’ are easy, while also having no carburetion problems, or rubber line and/or gasket problems.
Rich
G Greene, thank you! great tip.
MM, good to know!
Scott K, I’ll do the snow here too 🙂

Must not buy new mitre saw
The wrenches if tekton is cheaper or gear wrench id consider either before the Milwaukee. Don’t know about the craftsman.
And I’d consider cross shopping a set of ratcheting ones. Most are as strong or near enough. If I was doing it again I’d buy ratcheting with reversible over getting a set of basic combo ones
