Here’s a look at today’s Cyber Monday tool deals! Please feel free to chime in with your own deal finds, in the comments section.
Cyber Monday deals and tool specials typically aren’t disclosed ahead of time, or if they are, there’s very little notice. There’s simply too little time for me to present or discuss the deals as I was able to ahead of Black Friday.
Amazon
CYBER MONDAY DEAL of the DAY on TOOLS – there are some good deals here, definitely worth a look. I’ll try to list them out if/as I have the chance.

Many of their Black Friday deals are still live, but I’m not seeing any Lightning Deals like they had in previous years’ Cyber Monday events.

Use the promo code at checkout. Shipping is free on $199+ orders.
I want to buy a big ticket item, but the max savings of $150 kills the deal a bit. But if I wait, I’m not guaranteed to save more. In examining all of the deals from the past year that I posted about, most percent-off deals were capped at $200 savings, and only one allowed for $400 savings.
Still, you’ll get a max discount on items up to $750. After that, the discount is fixed at $150, which is still nothing to sneeze at.
They have some additional deals on their homepage, and suggested items to use the coupon on, such as:

Ohio Power Tools
Ohio Power Tools’ Cyber Monday sales kick off in the morning, 8am CT. After you check out their juicy 25%-off sale items, head on over to the main page for a few other current deals.
Zoro Tools
This is Zoro’s big sale of the season – 20% off orders $150 and up, or 25% off orders $250 or more. There’s some fine print that lists some brand exclusions. There’s a max discount of $2,000.
When I posted about Zoro’s Black Friday sale, there was some griping about their pricing on power tools. I’ve bought all kinds of tools and equipment from Zoro, and paid lower prices on most of those items than I could find elsewhere. But power tools? Nope.
Proto tools, a Roper Whitney hole punch, Keysight power supply, Wera nutdriver set, Akro Mils bins – these are just some of the tools I ordered from Zoro, just to give you some ideas.
And once, I went a little nuts ordering a wide assortment of socket cap screws because they were so damn cheap. For that I had to sort through part numbers on Grainger and cross-reference on Zoro, because it was their house brand, and not the typical USA brands I seek out.
Lee Valley
Lee Valley has some specials, a bunch of “manufacturing seconds” of pricey tools at discounted prices, and discounted gift cards.
I own several “manufacturing seconds” versions of Veritas tools, and can’t even tell you what cosmetic defect led to the discount.
Some of the Veritas tools have already sold out, and the rest will likely go quickly.
Rockler Woodworking
There are some good-looking deals. These deals aren’t as time-sensitive, so I’d save ’em for last.
BladeHQ
Spend over $75, get a free Kershaw Shuffle knife. Shipping is free on $99+ orders. This has been one of my favorite places to buy knives, and their customer service took good care of me the one time I had an issue with a product.
Tool Nut
Tool Nut’s doorbusters aren’t up yet, but it looks like they’ll be listed right here. Their other deals look to be a continuation of their Black Friday deals, some of which were quite good.
Lowes
I don’t see any special deals here, but maybe something new will be posted in the morning. *shrug*
KC Tool
KC Tool’s Black Friday sale continues thru today.
Use coupon code KCT20 for 20% off.

Well scratch my first post. I was awarded a job today requring concrete drilling and demo, and ended up ordering two Dewalt dust shrouds from Acme. Saved around $30 and free shipping.
Drew
Home depot has several more deal of the day Dewalt items in the email for today live right now.
Stuart
Thanks! I did mention it in my last post update, but in case it was too buried, the text is now bold.
Drew
Tool Nut has a great deal on the Dewalt 4AH DCB204 20 volt Max battery for $49.99 and has free shipping on orders over $100.
Joe J
The few items I looked at on ZORO have had their prices jacked way up. So you don’t save anything.
fred
You really have to know what to buy at Zoro to make their deals worthwhile.
It generally is not power tools. But if you are looking for Starrett , Williams, Klein, and Wheeler Rex items – then they might be worth a look.
Robb P
Just saw this post after I made my own comment. I was looking at two sets of wrenches from Zoro just before Thanksgiving. Now I look for the same two sets and they have jacked the prices way, way up.
fred
Woodcraft is also having some deals, plus $10 off $25 using code 12217, and free shipping on orders over $25
Fastcap gives you $15 off $50 – with code CYBER17
Adam
free shipping on $35 or more. you probably hit 2, instead of 3. Thanks for the post.
fred
Fat fingers! Thanks for the correction
Adam
There are a few power tools that I’ve picked up less at Zoro than elsewhere. Not many though. M18 Fuel Right Angle Hawg Drills, M18 fan, and a few others. They have the M12 & M18 power sources w/ USB always around $30, which is as low as anywhere else before discount, but often out of stock.
Maybe if it was a little easier searching for things I don’t need, I might be inclined to spend more time on their site. The last few things I was going to order, which were some extra impact sockets of certain sizes, had to be ordered in quantities of 2. I need an extra socket, but not 2.

If you can get a $40 off $200 for Lowes, it works out to about the same. Still need to find a $31 filler

The Technic Legos must have been flash deals because they appear to no longer be available.
Stuart
No, they weren’t flash deals. I’m guessing. They had very limited stock.
There’s a chance the deals will come later in the day, albeit a very small one.
Jake
Have you had a chance to collect your thoughts on the Home Depot 9 tool kit for $599?
Stuart
It seemed redundant for me to do so, and honestly I’m a little too pooped to post separately about the laser combo too.
I did add links to past discussions:
https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/dewalt-20v-max-9-tool-combo-kit-deal-03032017/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/dewalt-milwaukee-9pc-cordless-combo-kit-deals-12012016/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
It was less money last winter, and the same price in March. The same $595 or $599 (compared to March), or extra $95 (compared to last winter), gets you (2) high capacity battery packs, which most users will benefit from.
The saws are Dewalt’s standard “combo kit versions” are slightly less featured compared to the pricier premium versions of the same saws. I believe that the differences are in the reciprocating saw’s blade holder, and the circular saw’s plate. The drill is an older seasonal model. But it does give you great bang for the buck.
If you want a different choice of tools the “build your own combo” promo is still going strong: https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/home-depot-cordless-power-tool-combo-kit-free-tool-deals-h2017/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Their brushless 7-tool combo is better for more demanding users, but there’s no indication if or when it will be back in stock again. https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/dewalt-brushless-cordless-power-tool-combo-kit-black-friday-2017-deal/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Amazon has several “deal of the day” candidates that I’ve been watching closely, e.g. https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/amazon-black-friday-2017-dewalt-cordless-power-tool-combo-kit-deal/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
If you skip or miss out on this deal, it likely won’t return again. If it does, it would be in a late-season “let’s sell our unsold deal of the day remainders” deal. But that’s not guaranteed.
Or you can try to wait for Amazon or another retailer to have a deal on a kit that you feel more confident about.
Their return policy says:
If you don’t mind tying up some money, it might be an option to buy a kit, keep it in its box, and wait to see if a better or more appealing deal comes along.
I’m watching the 9-tool, 4-battery kit on Amazon here.
The 6+1 tool combo kit looks to be awaiting a deal of the day too.
I am also watching a 5-tool brushless combo.
There are no guarantees, only historical data to base predictions on. This kit provides good bang for the buck, but knowing what else is out there, unless this kit is exactly what you want, it might be better to wait.
It’s really hard to say. Last year, maybe the year before, a few readers missed out on a large Milwaukee combo kit deal, and it never came back. I believe some settled on “almost close enough” deals later in the season.

Those Veritas planes were pretty much all sold out by Midnight CST last night. I jumped on right at 11 last night and almost pulled the trigger on a shooting plane. It was gone by 11:15.
fred
You could always buy a gift card and then wait on next year.
BTW – some folks use other planes fro shooting miters. Even a low angle block plane can do – but some folks prefer an iron miter plane (old Stanley #9 or Lie Nielsen variant) or a bevel-up jack plane. In fact while in theory a much heavier dedicated shooting plane should be better to give you the momentum to slice through the end grain – some folks prefer something lighter for repetitive work.
Building or buying one or more shooting boards to go with the plane is a project once you buy the plane. The old Stanley metal shooting board is hard to find but others make boards from plywood:

Mike
I’ve been doing my shooting work with a 605 1/2 bedrock and a shop built fixture for a while. I’ve tried both the Veritas and the Lie-Nielson ones at Handworks and thought the LN did a little better job and felt better in my hands but a Veritas at $250 was really tempting. I may end up just buying a low angle Jack and going that route eventually since that’ll do a good job and I can use that plane for other tasks than shooting.

Thanks for the link, been trying to find a way to divide the pack-out system to my liking, maybe I can make these work instead of repurposing my Stanley Yellow ones.
I’ve had the pack-out sitting in the side yard here for a couple weeks, was ready to buy some chunks of plastic to hog out on the mill.
Seems I need to buy some leather for the carry bag to make pockets that will work, right now I have my leather electrical bag sitting in it. The interior pockets almost all seem useless to me.
Keith
Stuart, how bad should I feel about having pulled the trigger on the DW716XPS a few days ago when the DWS779 just dropped to $280 shipped from ACME?
http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/dewalt-dws779
Lay it on me, I can take it…
Andrew
The 716XPS did come with a nice blade and has the laser (or shadow) guide and was $30 cheaper. I’d value the laser feature above the slider for my purposes!
Stuart
DW716XPS has that LED cut guidance system I love. DWS779 doesn’t.
You wouldn’t have bought the DW716 without thinking its non-sliding mechanism would serve your needs well. So the DWS779’s sliding functionality might have been an expense you don’t need or want.
I think you should be happy with your purchase. Thew DWS779 is an even better bargain now, but you got a great deal on a saw that will presumably better serve your needs. Plus you have bonus blades and extra cash in your pocket. Be happy. =)
If I were in your shoes, I don’t think I’d have the least bit of buyer’s remorse.
Keith
Thanks! Feels better already.
Tori
Anyone have any luck finding discounts for Bosch tools? Trying to buy a 12-in miter saw for my husband for less than $650.
Stuart
Check back in an hour or two. I just received some info, but I need to confirm a big detail before the post can go up.
Kevin
Does anyone know how hard it is to use the Acme 20% off multiple times? Could the shipping address be different even if the billing address is the same? Or would I need to get a friend to buy the second item for me with a different billing and shipping address?
John Blair
It’s strange, the terms and conditions don’t say per person they say “per order” but the website won’t put it through on the same email, etc. Worth a call to see, otherwise friends are good too.
Doug
This Metabo 6 inch grinder is calling my name….after discount plus the Milwaukee penlight I’ve been eyeing comes to $202…I’ve got the batteries already, so I’ll probably talk myself into buying this by the end of the day today.

Robb P
I’m very disappointed in the Zoro deal. I was looking at two wrench sets when you listed the pre-black Friday deal, but the two sets didn’t come to $500 and I had nothing else I wanted at the time. I was very happy when the current black Friday deal came up for 25% off of $250 or more but imagine my surprise when I found that they had jacked up the price on the wrench sets. Maybe it is some sort of pricing algorithm, but it is still frustrating.
spectator
Robb,
I found the same thing while wasting way too much time trying to buy items from them.
On top of them cranking up the prices this week on items I’ve been watching and sitting in my cart, I also found out while shopping that they blocked many items from the discount that were not published on the ineligible list. This made my time on Zoro’s website looking for items to buy an absolute time waster, almost everything I needed was ineligible. If they want have a list of ineligible items, that’s totally acceptable you know what you’re getting yourself into but having massive amount of others items not listed is not acceptable. Luckily I was able to find most of the items on sale on other web stores.
Perhaps Zoro is not doing so well financially so there trying to avoid any discount possible and raising prices before a major sale?

i cannot find the lego cater ham seven for 48 dollars anywhere
Stuart
Sorry, looks like it sold out, and that was it for the deal.
Bryan
I ended up pulling the trigger at Acme for the 20% off plus the free battery promotion for the new Hitachi framing nailer. Quite pleased as I have yet to see if priced that low. I will admit the last thing I need is another battery platform but oh well 🙂
Bryan
Ended up buying the Milwaukee M18 fuel mid torque impact wrench bare tool from acme with the 20% off. Came to $157 to my door. Not bad…..

While I did some Christmas shopping – and think I got some good deals this BF and Cyber Monday season (thanks to ToolGuyd, Acme, Home Depot, ToolUp and Tools-Plus) – I’m glad its over.
I got a chuckle from this morning’s radio news that reported on one of the late night comedians who defined Cyber Monday – as a day when you got a great deal on things you didn’t think you needed the day before. There is an element of truth in the thought that buying “stuff” (as the late George Carlin often defined it) just because it is offered at a great price can become an obsession (as in hoarding.)
Thank goodness, most of the “stuff” I bought is being given away or will go to a vacation home – so I will not become victim to one of George Carlin’s admonitions that I can’t go on vacation because I have too much “stuff ” to take and can’t decide what to pack.
