We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Whether it's Memorial Day, Father's Day, or Black Friday, the holidays at big box stores and home improvement outlets have become something to look forward to. Many of us are delaying purchases until one of these events comes along so we can take advantage of great deals on everything from appliances to patio sets. With May being one of the best times to buy certain items at Home Depot, we thought it was time to see what's for sale there. This roundup includes 15 of the best deals on tools for DIYers for all kinds of home and garden projects.

If you've been doing a lot more DIY projects in 2026 and have been waiting for a chance to grab a new cordless drill or angle grinder, then you'll want to hear about these tool deals happening in May. From lawn care and power washers to woodworking tools and power stations, the only requirement for making this list is that it has to be one of the most cost-effective deals going on right now at Home Depot, on a product that's been praised by buyers. We've included several individual tools and a fantastic Ryobi battery pack deal, and the list starts with a couple of combo sets from popular tool brands. Whether you're looking to upgrade your tool collection or want to add to your favorite cordless platform, this is a great opportunity to either switch or dive in deeper.

There are several Milwaukee brand tool combos available at Home Depot, and one highly-rated option on sale this month is the Milwaukee M18 8-Tool Combo Kit. It's currently available for $599, down from $1,189, or 50% off. If you purchased all of the tools in this set individually, it would cost almost $1,700, which is why it feels too good to pass up. Along with three batteries, a charger, and a tool bag, the kit includes a drill, impact driver, circular saw, impact wrench, random orbit sander, LED worklight, plus a cut-off grinder and the Hackzall (the handy one-handed reciprocating saw).

If you're looking for a complete jobsite kit and you're a fan of the DeWalt tool system, the DeWalt 20V Max 10-Tool Combo Kit will get you everything you need for your DIY projects in one easy go. It includes a drill, impact driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, oscillating multi-tool, grinder, blower, wet/dry vac, radio, and worklight, in addition to two contractor tool bags and two batteries. At $799, it's a great entry point into the DeWalt 20V Max ecosystem for serious DIYers and homeowners. The blower, wet/dry vac, and radio are nice additions that you don't always see in a tool combo. At the time of writing, it has 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 5,000 reviews.

Many DIYers don't need one of the top tool brands just to have a drill and circular saw around the house. If you're just looking for a basic combo kit with a few extras like blowers, vacuums, and an orbital sander, the Ridgid 18V 8-Tool Combo Kit gets you there for half the cost — with an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars from buyers. While the durability of these tools might get questioned by some, Ridgid's lifetime service agreement makes this brand worth looking into. When you register your tool, Ridgid's warranty gives you free batteries, parts, and service for life, making this $299 combo even more appealing.

If you're looking to do a little yardwork, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V String Trimmer is the main item to purchase for the Ryobi Days BOGO sale. For $99, it comes with a 2.0Ah battery and charger, plus another free tool, such as a leaf blower or hedge trimmer. The BOGO isn't just for outdoor power tools, though. You can also walk away with a free orbital sander, reciprocating saw, or cordless inflator. The battery only gives you about 20 minutes of run time, but this is still a great deal according to customers like buyer tcircleranch, who says it's "so very worth the money," especially if you're already invested in the Ryobi platform.

Anyone with Ryobi tools knows that a 2.0Ah battery is only going to get you so far. Whether you're considering the BOGO tools or you already have the Ryobi tool platform, you're going to want to see this next tool deal for yourself. When you purchase the Ryobi ONE+ HIGH PERFORMANCE Battery Kit for $199 (a 54% savings), you get a 2-pk of 4.0Ah batteries included for free. The kit has 4.7 stars out of 5 from over 10,000 reviews and comes with a charger, a 2.0Ah battery, and two 4.0Ah batteries. High-performance batteries use higher output cells, so you get more power and run time.

Generators are great for backup power, but maintenance can be a chore. If you've been considering a portable power station, Home Depot has the Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station on sale right now for $239, which is actually lower than Amazon. Even Bluetti's own website deal for May lists it at $279. With 700W of power, you can't run any heaters or hair dryers, but it's enough for lights, laptops, phones, and small appliances. Under 15 pounds, it's actually portable, and since it's silent, fume-free, and ready for solar, it's also perfect for your summer camping adventures.

If you've been thinking about getting a power washer that comes without the hassles of fuel, oil, pull-starting, or winterizing, then the Westinghouse ePX3030 Electric Pressure Washer, with 4.7 out of 5 stars, is worth a look. On special at Home Depot for $84.99 or regularly priced at $90, it's always a good deal since it's well-reviewed, and other comparable pressure washers can cost $150 to $200. It offers 2000 psi and 1.76 GPM, and it weighs 18 pounds, so it won't be a chore to drag it out to wash your driveway, patio, or sidewalks this summer.

Surprise dad with an early Father's Day gift: a robot lawn mower. Like a robot vacuum, the Yard Force Revola X4E Robot Lawn Mower does all the work while you control it remotely. It's on sale during May, priced at $699 for a savings of $191 from the regular price. Most robotic lawn mowers in this class run about $800 to $1,500. Controlled by an app on your phone, it can handle lawns up to ½ acre, and a rain sensor auto-returns it to the charging station.

If you're thinking about Memorial Day sales for lawnmowers, here's one to check out: the Black+Decker 20" 13 Amp Corded Electric Walk-Behind Push Mower. This is a basic corded lawn mower priced at $239, perfect if you're looking to replace one and don't want to spend an arm and a leg. This mower is suitable for most people with small yards. While it's only 8% off right now, this is a competitive price for the category. With the corded feature, there are no batteries to replace and no gas or oil to maintain.

It's always easier to justify the purchase of tools if you have a project that will save a lot of money, like a stylish desk and closet combination. For this DIY, you'll want to add a compact router to your tool collection, and if DeWalt is your brand, you're in luck. The DeWalt 20V MAX XR Compact Router is $249, but you can actually get it for free when you purchase the DeWalt 20V/60V FLEXVOLT 9.0Ah Battery + Charger Starter Kit, which costs $229 (regularly $299). You can also choose from several other DeWalt tools to get this deal.

Whether you just need a cordless drill, you're buying a gift for a friend, or you're looking for the lowest entry point into a major cordless system, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V 2-Tool Combo Kit is a solid choice, priced at only $99. The kit includes a drill and an impact driver, plus a bag, two batteries, and charger, making it the perfect gift for high school graduation, wedding shower, or housewarming party. These are the two most-used tools in any combo kit, and just what you need for basic DIY projects around the house, like hanging shelves or assembling furniture.

When it comes to power tools that you didn't know you needed, the oscillating multi-tool is at the top of the list. This May, you can get the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool (rated at 4.8 out of 5 stars) for 20% off the regular price. Perfect for working on construction, demolition, or trim details, it's available at $199 right now, making it one of the best standalone tool deals from the Milwaukee lineup. As a bonus, you can get another 5% off if you also choose the BOGO bundled blade kit, which is normally $79.97, marked down to $49.97.

For DIYers already invested in the Milwaukee lineup, if you're looking for a cordless chainsaw, May is the right time to buy. On sale for $249, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 16" Cordless Chainsaw is ideal for homeowners who handle their own yard and tree work. Whether it's for storm cleanup, firewood, or big branch removal, the time to get a chainsaw is before summer thunderstorms or hurricanes wreak havoc in your yard. Buyers praise this model for its relative power and ease of use.

For homeowners looking to take their woodworking game up a notch, the DeWalt Double Bevel 12-inch Miter Saw helps you make the straightest cuts at any angle. This month, Home Depot has this model priced 23% off at $499 (it was $649), and even though it's a little more saw than many homeowners will ever need, it's a great investment if you're building a woodworking tool collection. With a 12-inch blade, you can cut large dimensional lumber, making it a necessity if you're planning a DIY deck, building a backyard pergola, or redoing the crown molding in your kitchen. Some buyers report that it's too heavy, and the dust collection feature could be better.

Tool prices have been hit hard by tariffs in 2025 and 2026, which can make it hard to compare price tags from previous years or rely on upcoming discounts at Father's Day. Solidly reviewed with a 4.6-star rating, the Husky 300-piece Mechanics Set comes with standard and metric sockets and ¼, ⅜, and ½ drives. It also comes with a tool box to keep everything organized, all for $249. When it comes to socket sets, even though these aren't marked down during May, they are one of the best deals we could find for a mechanics set online.
