Over at Amazon, their holiday promos are coming to an end, but there are still a couple of noteworthy end-of-year deals.
Bosch’s 30% off accessories deal is back, with all of the same sets on sale. There are some entry-level sets in their, but most are Bosch’s typical premium quality power tool accessories. Deal ends 12/31/2015.

Dewalt’s Bolt-On promo is also still going strong. Buy a select 20V Max drill and impact driver kit, get your choice of a premium circular saw, premium reciprocating saw, angle grinder, or 3Ah battery, for FREE.
I’d say go for the DCS391B, which was our editor’s choice circular saw pick. Deal ends 1/31/2016.
There are still some brand deals going strong, with a 12/31/2015 ending date. Here are the more notable ones:
Hitachi: $25 off $100+ Orders, thru 12/31/15
Makita: Save $25 off $100+ Orders, thru 12/31/15
Irwin: Save 20% off Select tools, thru 12/31/15
Tekton: $15 off $50, thru 12/31/15
Extech: 20% off Select Test & Measurement Tools & Accessories, thru 12/31/15

Also keep in mind that retail stores, are dropping prices on seasonal items. Home Depot has done this, and Lowes now too.
For example, this Dewalt 22pc MaxFit screwdriver set has been reduced to $10!

Ffarid emailed in some Sears workshop deals (thanks!):
I was at sears last night and picked up a T-handle driver with my points that were about to expire. I noticed some Gladiator stuff on sale. I was told that the sale runs through new year day. Some of the prices are online only but you can do store pick-up. A few deals below (more online):
Gladiator 30: wall cabinet for $99: Buy Now, Compare(via Amazon)
Gladiator 65″ hardwood-topped workbench for $149: Buy Now
Craftsman 1/4″ T-handle driver for $20, and 3/8″ T-handle driver for $25: Buy the 1/4″ Set, Buy the 3/8″ Set. From what we’ve seen, these are the regular sale prices, but still worth mentioning.

I guess they want to entice last-minute shoppers – and after Christmas buyers.
I see that Lee Valley has announced one of their free shipping (orders over $40) deals starting today
Stuart
Ooh, I was hoping they would do that! Lee Valley offered free shipping last year as well, bridging 2014 and 2015.
I’m guessing that sales start to lull after Christmas, which is why some of these deals extend to the end of the year. Maybe they’re meant to entice new gift card holders?
Tom
I’ve read that internet retailers really slow down about a week before Christmas because people don’t think that they will get their orders in time. That’s why there are so many free shipping offers right now. Not sure if it is true, but it makes sense.
Matt
Is the “bolt on” promo available in store at HD? Or is it through other various outlets?
Stuart
I don’t think so. I believe it’s an Amazon promo.
Home Depot still has their “$100 or $150 off” power tool combo promo going on, thru 1/31/16: https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/home-depot-cordless-combo-kit-deal-h2015/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Update: I just checked, and one other retailer has a Dewalt Bolt-On promo, but you can only get a free battery, not a free tool. Maybe they sold out of the freebie tools and only the battery freebie option is left?
Matt
Cool. Thank you for the heads up and have a great holiday!!
Stuart
You’re welcome, and thanks – you too!

To add to the Sears deals, they have a pretty extensive gearwrench ratcheting set that includes standard and stubby sizes for $80. I’ve never seen the set before so I don’t know if it’s a great deal, but seems like a fair price
http://sears.com/gearwrench-32pc-combination-stubby-ratcheting-wrench-set-sae-mm/p-00939327000P
Stuart
That is a fair price. The same set was $75 for Black Friday.
I would be surprised if it wasn’t meant to sell at $80 regularly.

Menards has the Gearwrench 20 piece set without the stubbies for $49.99
http://www.menards.com/main/p-1444428565337.htm
Stuart
So does Sears: https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/gearwrench-ratcheting-wrench-20pc-set-deal-h2015/%3C/a%3E .
That 20pc set is a great buy – if you don’t mind zero-offset ratcheting wrenches – and has become a more or less standard holiday season offering.

Lowes
Buy the Bosch $299 driver/hammer drill and impact driver kit (4 0 batteries and charger) and get a free tool body recip or circular saw or driver drill.
And the Bosch rep will get you another additional tool body for free
Pick jig saw, circular saw, recip, grinder or impact.
$300 for 4 tools just picked up my jig saw….the ad is not lowes but you have to ask the lowes guys working at the tool dept about Bosch rep deals…. I just happened to be shopping for a bosch tool set when a lowes employee hit me up…
adam
any idea when this go til for the “rep deals?”
MichaelR
It said while supplies last however after talking with the Bosch rep, he was attaining more tools before the year ended for the promo. I would get the rep numbers by visiting one of the lowes stores and asking the tool dept employee for his or her number…and asked them about “outside bosch deals”

Really good flashlight for the money. Have one in every vehicle and one in my tool bag. Like it as much as some of my more expensive Olights.

Awesome vehicle wash brush. During the summer Amazon sells these for over $20 bucks. Available now for only $15 with free shipping for Prime members. Bought one this past spring on deal for $12 but would buy again at this price if I needed one because they are excellent.
