How to find the best DIY & tools discounts

Tool discounts are real, but the battery platform and the consumables decide what you will pay next year.

Stay on one battery platform

A cheap bare tool from a new battery system means buying batteries and a charger as well. A code on a tool that uses batteries you already own is usually the better spend.

Kit versus bare tool

Kits include a battery and a case and are not always cheaper than the pieces bought separately on offer. Add the kit contents up before you assume the bundle wins.

Consumables are the repeat bill

Blades, discs, bits and sandpaper outlast the excitement of a new drill. A discount on the consumable you use every job beats a small cut on a tool you already have.

End of season for outdoor tools

Mowers, pressure washers and outdoor power tools are often reduced as summer ends. Indoor hand tools discount more randomly, around project season and holidays.

Check the warranty on a deal unit

Refurbished and open-box tools can be good value if the warranty matches a new one. Confirm that before you take the lower price.

The codes above help most when they land on a platform you already own.
