Home Depot’s Black Friday 2024 deals flyer has been circulating online, and it reveals all of their in-store doorbuster deals.
Take a look at determine whether or not it’s worth it for you to brave the crowds to visit your local Home Depot store on Black Friday. (As a reminder, Black Friday this year is 11/29/24.)
If you’re visiting this page on Black Friday, STOP and check out the tool deals of the day first. Home Depot typically has a fantastic online-only flash sale, and it’s definitely going to be worth checking out. We’ll be reporting on those deals, so check back here on Black Friday as well.

Although Home Depot’s Black Friday sales flyer says their doorbusters are “in Store Only” deals, some of the tool promos are available live online right now with free shipping, such as the Ridgid shop vacuum.
Also, as was the case last year, Home Depot’s Black Friday sales flyer is basically a small add-on to their month-long deals, which are all live already.
It’s actually kind of refreshing, for Home Depot to be bringing back the concept of actual “doorbuster” deals again. I visited my local store last year in the afternoon, and they still had most available. There’s no guarantees that’ll be the case this year.

I don’t think the Milwaukee Packout Radio has ever been on sale for $199! Could a new and improved version 2.0 of it be out soon?
Stuart
Doorbusters used to be loss leaders to get shoppers to stores. I think that’s all that’s going on with the Packout radio deal.
Julian Tracy
One of the better deals the last few years was the warner (other brand?) folding platform with the handgrip in the middle of the plank. BF price was between $25-35 and the rest of the year priced normally at close to $75 as I recall. Was going to buy a couple to replace my non-handgrip’d versions, but never did.
Stuart
Gorilla at Depot, Werner at Lowe’s. I haven’t seen any platform deals this year so far.
It’s always been a fast mover, I could only guess why they’re missing this year.
Lindsay
The Gorilla platform is currently 39.88 at Home Depot.

Stuart
Thanks! None of my stores have it out yet – it’s weird that it’s excluded from their Black Friday and final doorbusters sales flyers.
Scott
Items on the actual Black Friday ad are not put on the sales floor until the door closes on Wednesday night and then signed. The employees usually do not know what the door busters actually are until Wednesday because there are some items that are limited quantities such as ten to 20 only. Once they are gone they are gone, also there are specials every few hours.
bg100
That’s a fantastic price! I have a handful of them and I may just grab a couple more now. They make great gifts for subs.
Evan
Thank you @Lindsay! Just bought one, great price.
Charles
They had them for $39 last week. Mine still hasn’t shipped.
Zgeist
There are several m12 battery deals, there are so many types of batteries I don’t know which one is best. There’s a good price on the 6ah one, but I’d read the 5ah one was better?
Patrick T
Reviews for the 6ah are…. Not great.
The 2-pack of 4ah + wall plate looks pretty good though.
Dave P
I have 8 or 10 M-12 6ah batts mostly purchased several years ago soon after they came out and I’ve never had one go bad.
Patrick T
I just checked my 12v vacuum and it has a 6ah that it came with. Have had it for a few years and no problems. Might end up picking one up after all. That’s a great price.
Michael F
The 3.0Ah 18650 cells are generally not optimized for high output applications. This is why most of your 6.0 batteries (Makita LXT, Milwaukee M12) are recommended for long runtime (fans, radios) and not high output (grinders, saws).
MM
That is correct. The 6ah gives the longest run time of any of the M12 batteries but it is not particularly good about high power. The 5ah HO does not have quite as long run time but it clearly makes more power in a high power demand tool like a saw.
I have four of the 6ahs, I’ve head them for years and I use them a lot, their durability/reliability has been great, but the power on high demand tools isn’t so great. Honestly I wish those were 5ah HO’s instead, but at the time I bought them the HO’s didn’t exist, and right now I honestly have more M12 batteries than I need so it’s hard to justify upgrading, but I will definitely be picking HO batteries whenever I need to get replacements for my existing packs or more batteries for new tools.
Stuart
Exactly. I prefer the M12 2.5A, 5Ah, 2Ah, and 4Ah batteries, and avoid the compact 3Ah and XC 6Ah since you have to think about where they’re going to be used.
The 6Ah is less of a compromise than the 3Ah, but still, I inherently avoid any batteries with 18650 3Ah cells. That said, I think the 6Ah might be a good choice for things like heated jackets, lights, radios, and similar.
Dave P
The compact 3.0 can be great because it lets the drill or impact fit in the hammer loop of your tool belt w significant more run time than the 1.5 or 2.0. Which is really nice when you’re up on a ladder
Michael F
I managed to kill two fairly new 3.0 M12 batteries in the M12 FUEL OMT, so I think the long runtime is great if the tool doesn’t need the power. I used it in the OMT, shut it off, and it never took a charge again. Milwaukee replaced it with another M12 3.0 on warranty and, sure enough, the same thing happened.
Saulac
M12 6A still exist is a surprise, at $49 it is crazy good.
Dewalt 20V…”Max” ? I thought has consolidated into XR or not XR…so what is Max?
Stuart
20V Max is the entire battery platform. 20V is the “max” voltage for 18V Li-ion batteries.
Saulac
Oh. Can’t believe I forgot this moniker.
Joe H
Aside from the vacuum too bad there isn’t really any Ridgid stuff.
F
Thanks Mr. tool guyd. Can’t wait till black Friday for those m12 batteries.
Aaron SD
Which drill comes with the $59 Milwaukee deal? Seems pretty good. I’m sure I’d use it more than the ratcheting screwdriver…
The link isn’t quite live in that it shows something different, not even the $99 one it is supposed to be.
Thanks!!
Aaron SD
I think it is this one:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-12V-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-1-4-in-Hex-Screwdriver-Tool-Only-2401-20/202196516
This is the brushed version. This is all about budget as I have Dewalt 20V Max drill/driver that I can use anywhere so don’t really need anything else…
Stuart
Last year it was this M12 screwdriver kit, but without the bit set.
Home Depot has a habit of completely taking down doorbuster pages ahead of Black Friday.
Basically imagine the combo kit from this post – https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/milwaukee-m12-cordless-screwdriver-ratchet-deal-2401-21r/%3C/a%3E – but without the ratchet and with an extra battery.
The actual doorbuster deal might be different, but I don’t think so.
The SKU is the same as the one in last year’s doorbusters sales flyer, and I grabbed the link for this post from when updated last year’s post on Black Friday.
Aaron SD
Thanks! Looks to be well-liked
Dave P
For anyone new to buying tools thinking about Milwaukee–BE CAREFUL at Home Depot because a lot of times their “great” deals are not “Fuel” tools. If the ad doesn’t sat “FUEL”, you are buying 10 year-old technology in many cases, which is EONS in the evolution of cordless tools.
I’d do one of three things if considering brand-new Milwaukee cordless tools:
1) Don’t even consider non-Fuel, and get the best deal that you can find on the latest generation of FUEL
2) Buy Ridgid instead–batteries and service for life and at least as good as the old non-Fuel Milwaukee stuff
3) Just buy the old non-Fuel Milwaukee stuff used.
BE AWARE so that you’re not disappointed.
MM
This is true for most brands, a lot of the tools you see on sale or in kits being sold around the holiday season are older models. It’s certainly true with Dewalt, Makita, etc…most of the tools in sets are not the latest tech.
But, I wouldn’t say that Fuel is necessarily better to the point you should buy it without thinking; it really depends on what your needs are. A good example is the original Hackzall vs. the Fuel model. There is no question the Fuel is more powerful, but it’s also a lot bigger and clunkier and doesn’t fit into as tight of spaces. If you were, say, cutting up a bunch of conduit or PVC the Fuel model would be better: it would cut faster with its extra power and longer stroke, and the bulk wouldn’t matter at all. But, if you were using that tool jammed up in the engine bay of a car, or crammed in a tree trying to make a careful pruning cut without damaging a nearby limb, the more compact non-fuel model would be a lot more maneuverable. As you said: BE AWARE, there’s pros and cons to Fuel models just like the non-Fuel ones.
Farkleberry
I’d say mostly look for fuel OR -brushless- if you want to save some money.
The brushless line are modern power, just not the bleeding edge of power.
The most powerful tools like the latest awesome Fuel circ saw in the ad, basically require the tabless Fuel or at least a large 12 ah battery, lest your battery voltage drop to 40-50% under load. Check out YouTube channel “workshop addict” vid titled “power hungry 2834”.
These batteries and often tools themselves are often frightfully expensive (like XGT) outside of promos ($450 vs $250)
Getting some tools that are able to easily run cheaper tabbed batteries is not 10 year old tech, it’s just not the very latest, and can save a bunch of money while giving up just a bit of performance. This all with the warranty I’d pick vs used tools/batteries.
OTOH, many people prefer the smaller, lighter, cheaper brushed tools for certain applications, as MM points out, another example is the M12 ratchet.
I don’t disagree that Ridgid is a viable option, but getting started on M18, especially with some brushless tools seems like a good starting point. Of course many brands, Dewalt and Metabo HPT come to mind, have had some great sales already this month on pro level tools.
Stuart
The M12 Fuel cordless screwdriver – the one people actually buy – is $199 for the kit, vs $49.
Ridgid doesn’t have 12V-class tools anymore, and their 18V-class line is largely neglected with little expansion and few promos these days.
The non-Fuel M18 brushless tools are perfectly find. The older brushed tools are okay for users on a budget.
Taking a “Fuel or nothing” standpoint doesn’t account for the difference in price. The M12 5pc combo kit for $199 doesn’t excite me, but it’s hugely popular because you can’t get the same Fuel brushless version tools for at least double the money usually.
Saying “I prefer Fuel” is fine. Telling people everything non-Fuel is junk tends to be an elitist generalization or gatekeeping practice if you haven’t tested or used them and can’t speak about specific tools.
People still buy the Dewalt DCD771C2 cordless drill kit, and that’s ridiculous to me because there are vastly superior alternatives within Dewalt’s system and others’ at the same price point. There are alternatives to M12 and M18 non-Fuel, but not usually at anywhere close to the same price.
Dave P
Well, since you asked… I can speak about specific M12 tools. I had three non-fuel hacksawls and two of my employees had them as well and they were all junk. They all needed switches under warranty or would just quit w lots of battery left and then most of them quit a second time and we all just threw them away. The non-fuel oscillating tool is incredibly weak. I took mine to an authorized service center, and they just shrugged their shoulders and said there was no sense in looking at it because they just weren’t very good. So I threw that away as well. those who shower at the end of their day rather than the beginning are hardly elitists but regardless those are the only people I trust. I buy tools to get things done. And done fast.
Stuart
Thanks for sharing the specifics!
On a lot of social media platforms, fanboys have taken to gate-keeping the M12 and M18 where questions like “should I buy the $99 M12 kit or $179 M18 kit” are almost exclusively answered with “no, you should only spend $349 on the M18 Fuel kit.”
The non-Fuel tools are usually decent. If you need to work faster or harder, of course the Fuel versions are going to be better. But the non-Fuel versions are okay for users on a budget.
Too many people feel compelled to spend others’ money. If someone can budget $100 for a compact recip saw, the m12 Fuel model, which is $179, might be too out of reach.
Similarly, the non-Fuel OMT is $99 with a battery and charger. Of course it’s not as good as the M18 Fuel version, which is $229 for just the tool. For someone with $100 to spend, M18 Fuel isn’t a feasible option. There’s always M12 Fuel, but it’s still $159 for just the tool and sometimes with a free battery offer.
A $100 Milwaukee M18 non-Fuel oscillating tool is better than not being able to afford the Fuel model.
Absolutely get the best tools you can afford. But a lot of folks have smaller budgets and simply saying not to bother with anything but Fuel doesn’t help them.
Dave P
I see where you’re coming from. Using your example ( and since I know how pathetic the non fuel m12 multi tool is, if a person only has $100 to spend (and I understand, BTDT), they should buy one w a cord. It’ll be really quite decent and it’s better to need an outlet and get things done than have a portable (cordless) junker that won’t do much at all. As far as the 18 V stuff, there’s very little that a non-fuel drill won’t do. The non-fuel cordless saw bogs down so easily that it’s dangerous and certainly not worthy of doing fast, quality work. The non-fuel multitool will do most things, but won’t have near the power of, a corded one. And that’s the point now, to have the power of corded in a cordless version. Otherwise just buy the cord and get things done. So it boils down to the specific M2 tools. Some of the old ones are OK and a lot of them aren’t. I hope that knowledge on specific tools helps someone who would otherwise be sorely disappointed. Appreciate your site , especially this time of year. Thanks.
Stuart
I appreciate where you’re coming from as well. I recognize that your sentiment comes from specifics, rather than the gate-keeping and projecting I’ve been seeing a lot of.
The first wave of brushed motor 18V-class angle grinders weren’t even advertised as angle grinders, they were “cut-off tools.” When I asked why, I was told they lacked the power to serve as angle grinders, and back then the largest battery size was 3Ah and then 4Ah. Those same tools are still sold today, and they’re still suitable for certain tasks, but brushless and flagship models are indeed much better.
Farkleberry
Dave,
If you’re just a DIY guy, then time is not money for your hobbies. It can also be difficult to justify the high early adopter price for the latest tech for hobbies.
I would not recommend brushed tools for high draw applications, even DIY, with so many brushless options currently.
I respect your opinion on high draw M12 tools, as it sounds like you have lots of valuable real world experience. I think you’re missing the point on the hackzall, etc. though. No one is suggesting you demo a bridge with your brushed M12 hackzall. OTOH, pvc pipe is very easy to cut – brushed or brushless.
If you use your tools appropriately, they will be far more effective and last longer.
A hand tool analogy is don’t use a cheater bar on your 1/4″ ratchet to break loose rusted 1/2″ nuts.
With an M12 brushed ratchet, you’re not busting nuts loose or torqueing them, just running up/down.
I’m guessing your line of thinking is that it doesn’t make sense to buy a weak brushed tool for easy applications, when you’ll need to buy a brushless tool anyway for heavy loads. I’m not sure I would be doing anything heavy duty with M12, though, with so many compact 18v tools available.
I don’t think your recommendation to only buy fuel tools is bad, but budget will obviously play a role in purchasing, especially for DIY. People (pros too) got lots of things done with cordless power tools 5-10 years ago.
I’m not sure M12 has anything between brushed and Fuel, but M18 sure does.
Why are you willfully ignoring the non fuel M18 brushless line, which you seem to have no complaints or experience with?
Dave P
I’m sure the brushless are fine. But those cheap little kits always have less than that in them and it’s really old technology and a lot of them are weak. Even though I used to do a lot of construction as a contractor with a handful of trucks and employees, nothing big-I recently retired from that.. I guess now I’m just do it yourself guy you might say, as in build my own 3000 square-foot buildings and things like that. All I’m saying is those little cheap M2 kits aren’t very good and if you’re going to do much more than put some trim around a door or hang a picture, you’re way better off to buy something good with a cord if your budget is that tight. Something with a cord at least will have enough power to do what you need. Have you ever tried to build your own laminated header with a little M12 non-fuel impact? You’ll be sick of that real soon. An M12 fuel? It won’t do it as well as a M18 fuel, but it will do it pretty darn good. You really limit what you can accomplish with those cheap little kits. All I was trying to do was save people from disappointment.
Jeremiah
Think about it like this. Those brushed models are actually what Milwaukee (and everything else) started with, and then improved upon. Many of us that started with the Milwaukee or even DeWalt brushed, were dang proud of them and i know a lot of guys that still use their OG impacts and drills today. I’d still take a Milwaukee brushed tool over a Ryobi any day.
Farkleberry
Stuart,
I have almost no knowledge of specific Rigid models.
I have seen some overseas YouTube tests (Tools and Stuff, etc.), where AEG did pretty well. Do you know how much of the AEG line is basically identical to the Ridgid here, and is AEG stagnant as well?
Jeremiah
I’d also wager that there are a lot of Milwaukee power tools that are being released that are not FUEL, but are still top power/performance choices, like the new brushless compact drill/driver kit. Oh, and let’s look at the M18 inflator. It isn’t FUEL, but it is pretty much the most powerful, highest performer on the market.
DuhWalter
I already took advantage of Toolup’s 12ah flexvolt deal at $150. Why tempt me again? Why do you do this to me?
LE
That is a great deal for the Gorilla multi position ladder. That’s what Harbor Freights goes on sale for and what I picked one up for back in March. I sure wish I had the Gorilla for that price, the HF version definitely feels like a HF version….
Mike
If you already have the 40v batteries, that Ryobi 14″ chainsaw for $99 is a good buy. Right now it’s $149 online ($40 off), so I presume $99 is an actual Black Friday price.
Brian
Does anyone know what model the $149 Dewalt circular saw is? And does anyone have any experience with it or any of the other Dewalt offerings?
Stuart
It says FlexVolt 60V Max, and so I’m assuming it’s the DCS578.
Jeremiah
Wait, do my eyes deceive me? Is the Packout Raduo/charger only $199? I don’t think I have ever seen it less than $299 with a 10% Military discount.
Do I buy one of those or get the ear buds with the “around the neck” flashlight for $191? Hmm, such a conundrum.
Stuart
You have until the 29th to make a decision. If you’re still not sure, buy both and then return the one you don’t want. If other retailers don’t have the same offer, it’s likely going to sell fast.
Jeremiah
Yeah, I’m surprised they are dgoing that low. Then again, I’m not really. We have been in a recession for almost 19 months now and tools aren’t flying off of the shelves like they were in 20/21. So they need to move products.
Or as suggested before, maybe they are coming out with 2.0, and adding a. 12 v charger and combining the lights from the other packout spot light piece. We can dream.
Jeremiah
Wait, I just double checked and the ear buds and neck light are only $170. Maybe I’ll get both amd figure out a way to justify it later.
Greg Miller
How come I can’t find the Home Depot doorbusters “in-store only” ads on the Home Depot website or hardly any other sites. Are we sure the doorbusters ad is legit?
Stuart
It’s out now but buried – here you go. Everything matches up; yes, I’m sure the doorbusters are legit.
Joseph
It’s pretty strange that Home Depot would make it so hard to find the ad. We didn’t even get it in the mail with the other Black Friday ads like we usually do.
