For home improvement, buying a tool when you desperately need it means paying full price. The deals are all about timing your purchases to the season. Here is the insider calendar for getting major discounts on essential DIY gear at Lowe’s and Home Depot.
| Tool Category | Best Time to Buy (The Sale) | Why the Price Drops |
| Power Tools (Drill Kits, Saws) | Father’s Day (June) & Black Friday (November/December) | Peak gift-giving seasons create huge bundles and major percentage discounts on brand names like Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee. |
| Lawn & Garden Equipment (Mowers, Pressure Washers) | End of Summer (September/October) | Retailers must clear out all warm-weather inventory to make room for holiday stock. Look for deep clearance on the previous season’s models. |
| Paint & Supplies | Holiday Weekends (Memorial Day, Labor Day) | Major paint brands often run 30–40% off sales over the long weekends to encourage large spring/fall renovation projects. |
The DealsMB Tool Rule: If you are a DIY enthusiast, wait for the Power Tool Holiday Sales. You often get a free extra battery or tool with a single kit purchase, maximizing your value.
