Home Depot’s annual 4th of July Savings event runs June 20 through July 4, 2026 in-store and online. It overlaps the last few days of the Father’s Day sale and lands right between Amazon Prime Day and the start of summer project season. If you held off buying a major combo kit or outdoor tool during the spring promos, this is the last window to move.
Home Depot’s 4th of July sale launched June 20 and runs through July 4, 2026. The event covers power tools, outdoor power equipment, storage, hand tools, and accessories across Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, RIDGID, and Kobalt. This year’s sale is running up to 40% off select Milwaukee and DeWalt combo kits, plus free tool offers on Ryobi starter kits — similar to last year’s structure. The RIDGID NUKE subcompact line launched July 1 at Home Depot — the new drill, impact driver, and circular saw are live with pricing that overlaps the final day of the 4th of July event.
What to Watch For
- Milwaukee M18 FUEL combo kits: The 6-tool kit dropped to $499 at Home Depot during the Father’s Day sale (was $999). Today is the last day — check Home Depot now for the current price before the event ends tonight.
- DeWalt 20V MAX drill/impact driver bundles: The $99 drill kit and $99 oscillating multi-tool kit were among the deepest Father’s Day cuts. Watch for matching discounts in the final push.
- Ryobi 40V outdoor power: Self-propelled mowers, string trimmers, and chainsaws typically hit 25-30% off during July 4th. Free battery bundles are common.
- RIDGID NUKE subcompact tools (NEW — live now): The NUKE platform launched July 1 at Home Depot. The subcompact drill kit, impact driver, and 4-1/2″ circular saw are live — check Home Depot for current pricing — today is the final day of the event.
- Free tool promos: Home Depot usually layers a “free bare tool with kit purchase” promo on top of percentage discounts. The 4th of July often features free batteries with Milwaukee and Ryobi.
Why This Matters
Three things converge right now. First, the August Section 301 tariff price hike on Stanley Black & Decker products (DeWalt, Craftsman, BLACK+DECKER) is weeks away — July 4 is the last realistic chance to buy those brands at pre-tariff pricing. Second, RIDGID’s NUKE launched July 1 at Home Depot and is now live; you can still stack launch pricing with the 4th of July sale through tonight. Third, any unsold Father’s Day inventory from Milwaukee and DeWalt typically gets marked down further rather than returned to MSRP — the final sale days are when those deals surface.
The tariff story matters most. Q1 2026 earnings from Stanley Black & Decker warned that Section 301 tariffs return in August, and tools made in China will see 10-25% price increases depending on category. A $99 DeWalt drill kit in early July could easily be $119-$129 by Labor Day.
How to Shop the Sale
The sale ends today at Home Depot. Today is the final day — Home Depot often drops clearance tiers on slow-moving SKUs in the last hours of a major event. If you’ve been watching a Milwaukee, Ryobi, or RIDGID tool, buy today. Prices return to full after the event ends tonight.
The RIDGID NUKE has been live at Home Depot since July 1 — the subcompact drill kit, drill/impact combo kit, and 4-1/2″ circular saw are all available now. Check current pricing at Home Depot; if they’ve stacked a launch promo on top of the 4th of July event, today could be the best deal of the summer on a brand-new platform — and the last chance before both promos end.

More 4th of July Shopping Tips
Home Depot is the only major retailer that runs a full 4th of July tool sale. Lowe’s shifted its July promotion to “Craftsman Days” (running through July 29 with the $99 battery kit + free tool deal covered in our Craftsman post). Amazon Prime Day ran June 23-26 this year and is now over. For DeWalt, Makita, and Bosch, Amazon has competitive pricing running this week independent of Prime Day — worth a check before you buy. If you need Milwaukee or Ryobi, the 4th of July at Home Depot is the right window and the sale ends tonight.
Stack your discounts where possible. Home Depot’s Pro Xtra loyalty program gives an extra 2% off for members and early access to certain doorbusters. The Home Depot consumer credit card adds 0% financing for purchases over $299, which matters if you’re buying a major kit or tool storage.
