Over at Home Depot, they have quite a few tool deals of the day, featuring Dewalt and Milwaukee cordless power tools, as well as some Milwaukee power tool accessories and hand tools.
A lot of the deals look to be good bargains, but most of these deals are recognizable from the Holiday 2019 season. Some are a bit better, such as the hole saw and bit set bundle, and could be remnant inventory that Home Depot is looking to clear out fast.

- Milwaukee 10″ Packout tool tote with 11-in-1 multi-bit screwdriver: $65
- Milwaukee 13pc spade bit set: $19
The Packout tool tote bundles look to be good deals. The 10″ tote, for example, retails for $90. Here, it’s $65, which reflects a discount of ~28%, and it comes with a free multi-bit screwdriver. Similarly, the larger 15″ tote is discounted from its regular price and is bundled with a bonus tape measure.
The screwdriver and utility knife bundle set, however, simple takes two of Home Depot’s holiday season special buys and combines them together with no added discount. Both are good bargains, but anyone who wanted either or both sets had maybe 2 months to buy them at the same price – $20 for the screwdriver set, $15 for the FastBack utility knife set. If this is remnant inventory we’re talking about, meaning holiday season inventory that still hasn’t sold by the first week of February, shouldn’t we be seeing better pricing?
- Milwaukee 15pc Shockwave drill bit set with screwdriver bit set: $28
- Milwaukee 9pc Hole Dozer hole saw set with screwdriver bit set: $40
- Milwaukee 29pc drill bit set: $45

Th M12 6 tool combo kit looks amazing, and I would be all over it if this was 2 years ago.

I bought the Milwaukee 2.5” Hardline knife a couple months ago when it was on sale for the same price ($25). Like it so much I ordered another this morning. Perfect for the pocket. The flipper is smooth. No play in the blade. It’s a lot sharper than I expected. Its not the easiest to close, though. Don’t think I’d pay the normal price of $60 ….,, for that, I’d get a Spyderco. But it’s a very well made knife.

Tension on framelock a bit too high

Thanks. It seems to be a popular topic in the reviews.

>a sander with a fan or impact wrench? Interesting bundle choices.
Looks like the M18 impact wrench comes with the fan, not a cordless sander.
A sander with a fan might make sense, to blow all the sawdust away while you’re sanding. Although it might blow the sawdust all over you and the workpiece while you’re sanding, too.
After-holiday pricing seems to get worse and worse every year. Retailers try to hold onto merchandise and wring a few more dollars out of it rather than blow it out at cost or even below and just get rid of it to free up shelf and warehouse space for spring items. Even the in-store clearance pricing at a lot of HD stores has been rather pathetic, with ‘clearance’ prices higher than sale prices, just a few cents off the full price in some cases.

“After-holiday pricing seems to get worse and worse every year. Retailers try to hold onto merchandise and wring a few more dollars out of it rather than blow it out at cost or even below and just get rid of it”……in other words, run a business that has to pay expenses? ?

Who woulda thought?!

For much smaller retail stores that only have a few of an item in stock at any time, it might make sense to keep any remaining special holiday deal items around to sell at a reduced cost but still not lose money.
For a store like Home Depot, they make a hefty profit on the large quantity already sold, and it actually costs them more to hold onto the remainder of the items and wring out a few more bucks than it does to just sell at or even below cost and use the warehouse/shelf/store space and limited employee resources to sell the majority of the next batch of items.
This is how big retail works. You don’t hang onto last season’s old stock to try and make a little more money on it when you’re holding up the next batch of new stuff that is going to sell and make you a lot more than that old stock will.
The companies understand this, but people at the store level either don’t or just don’t like to see other people get deals on stuff that goes on clearance .

HD seems to truck off a lot of merchandise, rather than offering it up at best price clearance prices. Plants end of season get picked up and trucked South. ( owned by distributor ) But big lawn and garden equipment, truckload of grills, … also seem to disappear, without end of season mark down. Then we get to all the extra 30×80 sq feet holiday tool merchandise … like the 60 packouts. Xmas. No discount week after xmas, but it is all gone.
No special mark downs to move it out of the store, yet somehow it all goes somewhere, to make room for spring organizing, spring bathroom, …
makes me wonder if they just truck it off to odd lot surplus type stores.
Toolfreak
For tools, yeah, TTi has resellers/outlets that take leftover stock, returns, etc. and sell it online. My local HD does have a few of the holiday M12/M18 battery and charger packs and even a few out-of-box tools so they don’t always send everything somewhere else.
Large amounts of unsold merchandise, especially stuff that’s still in quantity at multiple stores, can often be sold off as a lot to salvage companies or even smaller retailers who will buy it from HD for less than they would pay from a supplier.
When it comes to the last few of items at a single store, it really doesn’t make any sense to do anything else but put it on clearance and let someone get a nice price and get it out of the store and out of inventory so the store no longer has to deal with it.
Jim Felt
One problem with these “Sale” posts and the even earlier actual HD specials emails is that they’re posted before some of us on the west coast get a chance to see them. Or get up.
I would have bought that $129 HoleHawg. Grrrr.
Tony
I’m on Eastern Standard Time Zone and I missed the opportunity to get the Hole Hawg too. What’s funny is that if you watch the video (1st video, Time Index: 39 seconds) on the Home Depot website for the Hole Hawg, the Home Depot guy makes a big deal of saying that the Hole Hawg is *ALWAYS* available on the HomeDepot.com website. Well, apparently not! LOL
Stuart
Sorry, the delay was compounded by the fact that I’m sick and my kids have been taking turns being sick. The Hole Hawg was out of stock by the time I started the write-up.
But, I’ve also seen deals sell out within minutes, and a greater frequency of deals that have sold out by 7-9am ET.
A lot of the time, deals that sell out early do so before I even check Home Depot’s website.
There are pros and cons to the timing. Late-to-bed West Coast deal seekers and early-rising East Coast deal seekers kinds cancel each other out.
Back when Amazon had Friday and weekend tool deals, I set timers or stayed up to catch the deals as they launched at 3am ET. If not, everything worth buying was sold out by morning.

If the Atomic + Mechanics tool set had been $179 likenut was at Christmas, ibwould have snagged it.
