Update 11/26/24: From the first version of this list, we’ve found a wide variety of Milwaukee deals, including the lovely Home Depot deal that lets anyone get started with their favorite M18 tool. Must-buy M18 and M12 deals are featured below. We’ll continue to add great Milwaukee Black Friday deals to this list throughout the sale event.

Milwaukee is one of the most interesting of the big cordless power tool companies, and for more reasons than beyond, it just has great tools. For starters, the Milwaukee line goes above and beyond when it comes to providing quality — you’ll see the brand represented among the best early Black Friday drill deals, for example, and you’ll also see them top out-of-the-way charts like our collection of the best portable tire inflators.

Simply put, Milwaukee gets the job done — regardless of the task at hand. At the same time, figuring out which line of their Black Friday power tool deals is best for you (the M12 or the M18) can be a bit challenging. While it doesn’t sound too complex, one powers less powerful 12V tools while the other handles stronger 18V tools, if you’ve ever forgotten where your keys are you might also easily forget which Milwaukee line you’re building up a battery collection for. So, take a deep breath before assessing these early Black Friday deals, checking over what each one is, and maybe even hopping out to your garage to double-check what you have.

This kit includes everything you need to get started with the affordable M12 line. It has a drill, driver, and ratchet, two batteries for them, a charger, belt clips, and even a carry bag. Buying this is like getting three essential tools for a $100 each, plus a lot of essential goodies free. And the people are loving it — at the time of this writing, there are just 10 days left to Black Friday and only 18 of these kits left — tap the button below to see if it’s still available.

Home Depot Milwaukee M18 build your own deal — $199 (plus free tool!)

This deal is pretty cool in that you can get your M18 collection started with just about any tool. Just tap the button below, find and click the ‘FREE’ square, and choose your tool to get it free with the batteries and charger. There’s no hunting, no bargaining, just choosing what you desire most.

How to choose a Milwaukee deal on Black Friday

Focus up, because Milwaukee is slightly more complex than the rest when it comes to deals. There are two lines, M12 and M18, and as silly as getting those confused right now seems, wait until the heat of the moment and you click ‘Buy’ on a fantastic deal… for the line you lack batteries for. Ouch!

So (and this should be the general thought process whenever you add to your Milwaukee collection) go check your current set of Milwaukee tools and batteries first. We’ll wait.

But what if this is your first time shopping for Milwaukee tools? Then, you might consider avoiding “Tool only” deals as they have no battery or charger with them. You can also make the decision to lean into the M12 line or the M18 line. Generally speaking, the M12 tools are going to be smaller and lighter but less powerful. They’re great for occasional usage and small jobs. Meanwhile, the M18 tool collection is nearly the opposite — they’re heavy-duty tools for bigger jobs.

How we chose these Milwaukee deals for Black Friday

We chose these deals to fit a ton of different boxes. Hierarchically, at the top, the most important boxes are price and quality. We chose affordable tool deals on reliable tools that will stand the test of time, combining M12 and some M18 tool deals you can shop now. We also incorporated a healthy mix of ‘Tool only’ (i.e., no battery and charger) and kit deals available, making these Black Friday Milwaukee deals available for any collection size.
