Two deals events are overlapping right now, and together they make March 14 through early April one of the better buying windows for power tools in the first half of 2026.
Lowe’s DeWalt Days: Clearance-Level Pricing, Live Now
Lowe’s is running a DeWalt Days promotional event with prices on select DeWalt tools and accessories at clearance levels. This is a separate event from the ongoing free-battery promotion (which runs through April 22, buy a qualifying tool, get a $169 DCB205 battery free). DeWalt Days pricing focuses on accessory kits, combo kits, and individual tools, with deals stacked on top of the battery promotion in some cases.
This is a Lowe’s-exclusive event, not available on Amazon. DeWalt tools are carried at both retailers, but Lowe’s pricing occasionally undercuts Amazon when these events run.
Home Depot Spring Black Friday: Officially Starts April 1
Home Depot’s Spring Black Friday sale runs April 1-16, but pre-sale pricing on select tools has already started appearing. The retailer typically uses the two weeks before the official event to drive early purchases, with verified deals on Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Ridgid (all Home Depot exclusives).
Based on previous Spring Black Friday events, expect:
- Free Milwaukee M18 battery with tool kit purchases
- Up to $500 off select OPE bundles (Ryobi, EGO)
- Ryobi Days pricing on 18V ONE+ combo kits
- Discounts on Ridgid 18V cordless tools with lifetime service agreement
What to Buy Now vs. What to Wait For
Buy now at Lowe’s: DeWalt accessories (impact driver bit sets, saw blades, battery 2-packs) and any DeWalt tool on DeWalt Days pricing. Combine with the free battery deal for maximum value.
Wait for April 1 at Home Depot: Milwaukee M18 kits, Ryobi combo kits, and outdoor power equipment. The Spring Black Friday deals on these exclusive brands typically beat any pre-event pricing.
Watch Amazon too: DeWalt’s recent price trajectory (see our DeWalt vs. Makita comparison) suggests stable Amazon pricing for now, but Q2 increases are expected as SBD’s supply chain shifts take effect.
