Labor Day sales are already underway in major retailers, including Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy. But if you’re looking for deals on major appliances, tools, or home furniture, Home Depot’s Labor Day sale will be a better fit for your needs. The sale is goes through the holiday on Sept. 1, and ends on Sept. 3. I used price-tracking tools to make sure these deals are solid and made a list of the best ones to make your shopping a little easier. Here are some of the best ones I’ve found.
Batteries are the lifeline of any drill, and you can never really have enough. If you’re Team Ryobi, which I’ve enjoyed being a loyal user for years, you know you can use these batteries for more than just drills (most brands do this as well). This is a great time to stack up on some batteries, with the 18V Lithium-Ion Starter Kit with 2.0 Ah Battery, 4.0 Ah Battery kit just $79 (originally $203.94).
The Ryobi ONE+ HP Brushless 4-Mode 1/2 in. High Torque Impact Wrench Kit is made for people who need power. Plumbers, mechanics, or anyone who uses a wrench often will appreciate a high-impact wrench. This one comes with a 4.0 Ah Battery and 18V Charger, which are powerful and last much longer than the basic battery. You can get it for $159 (originally $269).
If you’re Team Milwaukee or haven’t committed to any specific brand yet but need some powerful drills at a great discount, the M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit is $199 (originally $369). It comes with a subcompact hammer drill and an impact driver, along with four batteries.
For those looking for even more tools from Milwaukee, the M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit 9-Tool Bundle is $599 (originally $1,099). This nine-tool combo tool bag brings a lot of essentials for anyone getting ready to be a DIYer, including an impact driver, leaf blower, saw, multi-tool, two batteries, and more. This is a great bundle with a 45% discount.
If you’re a DeWalt fan, this 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless 7-Tool Combo Kit is $599 (originally $949) and has a lot of the same tools for the same price as the Milwaukee tool kit.
Fall is around the corner, and those leaves are about to fall and cover everything around your house. My portable blower has been one of the best investments I’ve made. If you’re looking for one, you can get the M18 FUEL 120 MPH 500 CFM 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Handheld Blower for $149 (originally $199).
What do you think so far?
Being comfortable with a saw can save you a lot of money from hiring arborists. The M18 FUEL 8 in. 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless HATCHET Pruning Saw Kit is an 8-inch saw selling for $249 (originally $499) after a 50% discount. It comes with a battery that can last over 150 cuts from a 6-inch diameter branch.
Stainless steel is always a safe bet when it comes to appliances. Right now, the Whirlpool 1.9 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave is $278 (originally $479) after a 42% discount. This microwave can steam cook and has a sensor that automatically sets cooking time based on what you’re warming up.
If you’re in the market for a new gas range, the Frigidaire 30 in. 5 Burner Freestanding Gas Range is $648 (originally $979) after a 34% discount.
The best deal on a 33-inch fridge in Home Depot right now is the Whirlpool 22 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator, currently going for $1,498 (originally $2,599). If this happens to be the size you need, you’re in luck. This is the cheapest this fridge has been in months.
