Lowe’s is running a spring DeWalt promotion worth knowing about before Memorial Day deals officially kick in. Buy the DeWalt 20V MAX 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Starter Kit for $199, and you can choose one free power tool from a lineup of pro-grade options — values up to $249.
How the Deal Works
Add the DeWalt 20V MAX 4Ah Starter Kit to your cart on Lowes.com. Once it’s in, a “Choose your gifts” option appears on the product page. Select any one bare tool from the qualifying lineup and it’s added automatically at checkout — no promo code needed.
Free tool options include:
- 20V MAX 1-Inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (DCH133B) — $249 value, best pick for masonry and concrete
- 20V MAX XR Brushless 1/4-Inch Router — $249 value, strong choice for trim and cabinetry work
- 20V MAX XR Brushless Jigsaw — $239 value
- Also available: angle grinder, impact wrench, cut-off tool, oscillating multi-tool, hammer drill, circular saw, orbital sander, impact driver, and screw gun
No official end date has been announced. The promotion has been active since at least May 1, 2026.
Best Pick: The Rotary Hammer
The SDS-Plus rotary hammer stands out as the highest-value and most specialized choice. A cordless 1-inch SDS rotary hammer typically runs $250–$280 standalone — it’s the kind of tool most DIYers don’t buy until they need it, then realize they should have had it years earlier. If you’re drilling concrete anchors, setting lag shields, or hanging anything into block, this is the pick.
The XR brushless router is a close second for woodworkers: trim routing, chamfering, and template work are all on the table with a 20V MAX router, and $249 is a solid price point to not have spent.
The Timing
Memorial Day sales start around May 14 at major retailers. This promotion gives you an alternative entry point now — a $199 kit plus a free tool worth up to $249 is effectively a $448 package for half price. As DeWalt prices have ticked up 4% in Q1 2026 on the back of tariff-driven cost increases, locking in the current battery kit price now makes sense.
