Best cordless tool deals
Here are some of the best sales on cordless tools right now at Home Depot:
Milwaukee: The Milwaukee M18 cordless leaf blower kit is a powerful tool that also comes with two batteries and a double charger. The kit is on sale for $499, which is $320 off its usual price. If you have some high trimming to do, the Milwaukee M18 cordless pole saw kit is a good deal at $399, or $170 off its regular price. The kit comes with a battery, charger, ten-foot extension pole, and a string trimmer attachment, so it has everything you need to use it right out of the box.
Ryobi: The Ryobi 18-volt trimmer/blower kit comes with an edger/string trimmer, a leaf blower, a battery, and a charger, and it’s on sale for $149 ($50 off its regular price). The Ryobi 18-volt pruning saw/pole saw kit is on sale for $199 ($60 of its usual price). This kit comes with a pruning saw, pole saw, an extension pole, a battery, and a charger to tackle all your tree and hedge-trimming projects. If you need some extra batteries for your spring cleaning chores, the Ryobi 18 volt six battery starter kit is on sale for $149, $229.82 off its normal price. It comes with a two-battery charger as well as the six batteries, making this kit a steal for 61% off.
DeWalt: For more precise pruning, the DeWalt 20-volt cordless electric pruner is on sale for $89 ($40 off its regular price). This pruner will save your wrists on bigger pruning jobs and help you power through more pruning with less pain. It’s a tool-only deal, so you’ll need a DeWalt 20-volt battery to use it.
Makita: The Makita 18-volt (two battery) cordless 21-inch walk-behind mower is on sale for $399 ($300 off its regular price). The mower comes with four 18-volt batteries, a two-battery charger, and a bag for grass clippings.
Best shop vac deals
To whip your garage, porch, or patio into shape, a shop vac can be indispensable. The Ridgid 12 gallon wet/dry vac is on sale for $79.98 ($20 off its regular price). This vacuum is designed to work on both wet and dry messes, and is a great tool for cleaning up outdoors or in your garage. The vacuum needs to be plugged in, so you’ll need an outlet nearby to use it. The Ryobi 4.75-gallon cordless 18-volt wet/dry shop vac is on sale for $79 ($20.97 off its regular price). This tool is more portable than a corded vacuum, but it has a smaller capacity than its larger counterparts. It doesn’t come with batteries, so you’ll need a Ryobi 18-volt battery to use it.
Best pressure washer deals
Cleaning decks, fences, walkways, and more goes much faster with a pressure washer. The Ryobi 1800 PSI electric pressure washer is on sale for $99 ($40 off its regular price). This pressure washer is corded, so you’ll need an outdoor outlet to use it, and it’s a cold water washer, so it doesn’t have a heating element, but it works great for most spring cleaning tasks. For smaller jobs, there’s a Ryobi 18-volt cordless 320 psi power washer on sale for $69 ($30 off its regular price). The cordless power washer is compatible with a standard garden hose as well as a two-liter bottle, and it comes with a siphon hose for drawing water from a bucket or rain barrel. This is a tool-only deal, so you’ll need a Ryobi 18-volt battery to use it.
