None of the 15 power tool prices we track is cheaper than in early November yet. We'll flag real discounts here as soon as prices drop. How we check.
Black Friday power tool deals on combi drills, impact drivers and twin-pack kits from DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Ryobi and Bosch, including the DeWalt DCD796, the Bosch Professional GSB 18V-55 and 18V twin packs from the DeWalt XR, Makita LXT and Ryobi ONE+ ranges. Each deal is compared with the lowest price we logged for it in early November at UK tool shops.
The biggest price differences usually come down to what is in the box. Two listings with the same tool name can include different batteries, a charger or none at all, so check the kit contents before comparing prices.

Stick to one battery platform if you can: batteries and chargers are a large part of the cost, and an 18V battery from one brand will not fit another brand's tools. Check whether a listing is "body only" or includes batteries and a charger. Brushless motors run cooler and last longer, and are worth paying a little more for.
Torque, measured in Nm, is the most useful figure for comparing drills of the same type, but brands do not all measure it the same way, so treat small differences with caution. If you are buying a tool as a Christmas present, check the warranty terms: several brands offer longer cover if the tool is registered online within a set period after purchase. Our how we check prices page explains how we set the reference prices.

See the saleSome are and some are not. We compare every deal with the lowest price we logged for the same tool or kit in early November. Look for the "Real discount" label in the tables above, which means the price is at least 5% below that reference. Check the kit contents too, because a lower price can simply mean fewer or smaller batteries.
The tool comes without batteries or a charger, and often without a case. It is only a deal if you already own batteries and a charger for the same platform, such as DeWalt 18V XR or Ryobi ONE+. If you are starting from scratch, a kit with batteries is often better value than buying the parts separately.
Brushless motors are more efficient, run cooler and last longer, and they usually get more work out of each battery charge. They cost more, but for a drill you will use regularly they are usually worth it. A brushed drill can still be fine for occasional jobs around the house.
Choose the platform that has the tools you are most likely to want next, not just the cheapest drill. Batteries generally only work within a brand's own range, such as Makita LXT, Milwaukee M18 or Ryobi ONE+. Once you own a few batteries, body-only tools become a much cheaper way to add to your kit.
Black Friday {year} is on Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday is on 30 November, but tool shops often start discounting earlier in the month. We use 8 to 14 November as our reference week, so each verdict shows whether a tool is cheaper now than it was before the main sales began.
There is no reliable rule. Some deals run from Black Friday through to Cyber Monday, while others change or end over the weekend. Because our verdicts compare every price with the same early-November reference, you can check on either day whether the kit you want is genuinely cheaper, and buy when it is.
