Lowe’s opened its Black Friday pricing on October 29, and the ad through November 18 cuts deepest in the tool aisle. Most of the ten picks below drop a third or more, and the bench at the end holds its place at 20 percent off.
The timing cuts both ways, and it’s the one call in this list that isn’t about the tools. Every price here is live in the ad Lowe’s is running right now, most of these offers hold into January, and a kit your garage needs this month won’t get cheaper for having waited.
The Doorbuster round lands Thanksgiving week and it could beat a line or two, so a gift that can sit for three weeks is the one purchase worth gambling on. The 12 Days of Deals start November 16, and MyLowe’s members get the Doorbuster pricing a day early on November 26. Buy for the garage today. Wait on the gifts.
1. CRAFTSMAN VERSASTACK 242-Piece Mechanics Tool Set
The ad’s best hand-tool buy is also its easiest first buy. It’s the one I’d hand a new homeowner first, since the VERSASTACK case holds 242 pieces in SAE and metric. One box covers the car and the flat-pack alike.
Sockets and ratchets wear a polished chrome finish across 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive sizes, and the case latches onto the rest of the VERSASTACK storage line instead of living alone on a shelf. At $99 against a $229 list, it undercuts sets carrying half the coverage, and the saving runs a clean $130.

2. Werner FS100CZ 6-ft Fiberglass Step Ladder
A six-foot fiberglass ladder is the unglamorous tool that gets used every month of the year, and this one’s down to $69 from $149 with a Type I rating at 250 pounds. Between jobs it leans against the garage wall without a thought. It puts your hands at a 10-foot reach, which covers gutters, ceiling fans and the top shelf of every closet in the house.
Fiberglass rails don’t conduct, so it’s the ladder you want around household wiring. At 54 percent off, it’s also the easiest math in this ad. Buy it once, own it for decades.

Type I, 250 lb capacity · 10 ft reach height · Fiberglass rails

3. Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless 2-Camera System
Two weatherproof cameras, a Sync Module Core in the box and batteries rated for two years of service, at $44.99 against a $129.99 list. The Outdoor 4 shoots 1080p with two-way talk and infrared night vision, so the delivery driver hears you from the couch and the raccoons get a lecture they didn’t ask for after midnight.
It’s the deepest percentage cut in the ad at 65 percent, and Amazon matches the $44.99 today. A watched porch for under fifty dollars.

1080p HD video · Sync Module Core included · Two-year battery life

4. DEWALT 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit
The oscillating tool is the one you buy for a single job and then reach for weekly, because nothing else undercuts door trim, pops tile, flush-cuts a nail in a stud bay and sands a tight corner. This XR kit lands at $99, half its $199 list, with the battery and charger in the box rather than sold back to you later. It undercuts door casing at breakfast and sands a patch by lunch.
Thirteen pieces ride along, so the blades and sanding pads for the first three jobs are already paid for. It’s half price on the problem-solver. Start with this one if the garage has none.
DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit
13-piece kit · Battery and charger included · Brushless motor
Price: $199 $99 (save $100, 50% off)

5. DEWALT 20V MAX Brushless Drill/Driver Kit
Every platform pitch starts with the drill, and Lowe’s priced this brushless kit like it knows that: $99, down from $179, with a half-inch keyless chuck that takes the bits a house actually uses. A brushless motor means the drill you buy this month is still the drill in five years, long after a brushed motor has eaten its second set of brushes.
If you’re starting DEWALT from zero, start here. It’s priced $80 under list, and the impact driver can come later.

6. CRAFTSMAN V20 6-Tool Combo Kit
Six V20 tools on one battery platform for $199, against a $349 list, works out near $33 a tool. Combo kits get cheap by sharing batteries and a charger across every tool in the box, which is where the real saving hides, and six tools on one charger is the deepest version of that math in the ad.
It’s the biggest dollar saving at $150, and it suits a first garage better than a stocked one. If your V20 shelf runs deep, skip it and put the money into batteries and blades instead. One platform, six tools, one charger.

Six tools, one V20 platform · Shared batteries and charger

7. CRAFTSMAN V20 1/2-in Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
The cheapest way into a real drill this season is red: $59, down from $99, for the V20 drill/driver kit. It’s the drill for curtain rods, flat-pack weekends and the hundred small holes a house requests every year, sized for a kitchen drawer rather than a jobsite gang box. It’s also the one that teaches a teenager the difference between a screw and a stripped screw.
Amazon wants $79 for a comparable V20 drill kit today, so Lowe’s undercuts the default by a clean twenty on the same platform as the big combo above. Twenty dollars under Amazon for the same job.

8. DEWALT 20V MAX 5Ah Battery 2-Pack with Charger
Tools get the headlines and batteries do the work, so the DCB205-2C kit is the quiet best buy in the ad for anyone already holding yellow tools or planning to buy into the line this winter. Two 5Ah batteries and a charger land at $199 against a $299 list, a hundred dollars back for fuel alone. Lowe’s listing throws in one free select bare tool on top.
It’s a third off the fuel for a platform you already own, and the free bare tool stretches the $199 further. Stock the charger shelf now.
DEWALT 20V MAX 5Ah Battery 2-Pack with Charger (DCB205-2C)
Two 5Ah batteries · Charger included · One free select tool at Lowe’s

9. DEWALT 20V MAX 2-Tool Brushless Combo Kit
If the drill-only kit above is the door into DEWALT, this kit is the front hall: the DCD793 drill/driver and the DCF840 impact driver, two batteries, a charger and a case for $169. The impact driver turns 1,700 in-lb of torque at up to 3,200 RPM, which is lag-bolt territory, and both tools run brushless.
The kit sells only at Lowe’s, so there’s no second price to chase, and the $80 saving stands on its own this season. Drill in one hand, driver in the other.
DEWALT 20V MAX 2-Tool Brushless Combo Kit (DCK227D2)
DCD793 drill/driver and DCF840 impact driver · Two 2.0Ah batteries and charger · Soft case included
Price: $249 $169 (save $80, 32% off)

10. Kobalt 46-in 9-Drawer Mobile Work Bench
Last, the weak cut: twenty percent off isn’t a Black Friday number, and this bench comes last with its saving stated plain, $398 against a $498 list through November 25. What the $398 buys is an all-welded steel cabinet on casters, nine drawers rated at 100 pounds each, a 46.1 by 18.1-inch wood top and a power strip built into the side, for 1,200 pounds of total capacity.
A garage with tools stacked in totes doesn’t need another tool; it needs a home for the ones it owns, with a work surface on top and drawers that close like they mean it.
Buy the tools above first. Then give them somewhere to live.
