Home Depot has officially confirmed the dates for its 2026 Spring Black Friday sale: April 3–16. For Milwaukee and Ryobi buyers, this two-week window is the most important sale event of the first half of the year — and the promotions have just been detailed.
What’s Confirmed for April 3–16
Home Depot is running a multi-brand event with specific promotional structures for its biggest tool brands:
- Milwaukee “Buy More Save More” — tiered discounts that scale with your transaction total. The more M18 FUEL or M12 products you buy in a single purchase, the higher your percentage off. This structure rewards buying into or expanding within a platform.
- Ryobi — discounts up to 35% off across 18V ONE+, 40V HP, and 80V HP platforms; spring OPE (mowers, trimmers, blowers) is specifically called out
- Ridgid — select corded and cordless tools included in sale pricing
- Up to $500 off select riding mowers, including the newly launched Ryobi 80V HP R1 and ZR3 zero-turns
- Free delivery and curbside pickup available on qualifying orders
Why This Is the Best Time to Buy Milwaukee or Ryobi
Milwaukee and Ryobi are Home Depot exclusives in the U.S. — no Amazon, no Lowe’s. That means Spring Black Friday is effectively their only major sale period before the holiday season. Historically, Milwaukee M18 FUEL combo kits drop 20–25% during this event, and Ryobi outdoor power equipment hits its lowest first-half prices.
If you’ve been waiting on a Milwaukee drill/impact kit, M18 FUEL combo, or a Ryobi 40V outdoor setup for spring yard work, buying during the April 3–16 window gives you the best odds of hitting a real price floor.
How to Approach It
The event runs April 3–16, but popular items — particularly Ryobi 80V riding mowers and Milwaukee M18 FUEL combo kits — historically sell out before the close of the event. Buying in the first few days gives you the best selection.
For OPE, our Best Cordless String Trimmers 2026 and Best Cordless Hedge Trimmers 2026 guides identify the specific Ryobi and Milwaukee models worth targeting. If you’re building or expanding a tool kit, our Best Pro Combo Kits 2026 picks show which platform combos deliver the most value — important context when evaluating Milwaukee’s Buy More Save More tiers.
