Deal or no deal? Black Friday cordless tools at Lowe's


While we wait for a leak of Home Depot's 2010 Black Friday ad that actually has staying power (the retailer is busily hitting sites that post it with takedown notices), the full Lowe's ad has found its way online, and as expected, it's packed with over 100 sale items. As we already noted in an earlier post, some of the stuff, like the old-tech Ni-Cd cordless tool kits, you can probably ignore. If you're looking to upgrade your personal cordless tool stockpile, however, there are some more attractive-looking offerings scattered in the ad. Let's have a look and see whether they're worth braving the crowds for.

Talkin' tools: Lowe's vs. Ace and Sears on Black Friday


Maybe we're not Tim Allen, but ConsumerSearch reviews enough tools to know a good deal from a bad one. If you've got a DIYer on your gift list (or if you'd just like to flesh out your own tool collection), the Black Friday 'season' can be a good time to snap up some deals. We don't yet know what Home Depot will be pushing out, but sneak peeks at Lowe's, Sears and Ace Hardware's Black Friday circulars give us some clues.

Drilling into Black Friday deals at Sears, Kmart, and Lowe's


Now that more Black Friday ads are being leaked (intentionally or otherwise), we're able to get an expanded picture of what some related items will be going for when the Christmas shopping season kicks off in earnest. Today, let's sort through some of the various cordless drill deals to see where the best values are.

Home Depot drills home efficiency message with 15% discount


Between now and November 8, if you have an old drill -- even one that's not working -- you can bring it to your local Home Depot and trade it in for a 15-percent discount on a new lithium-ion cordless drill. The promotion is part of Home Depot's "Eco Options" drive, which is focused on getting customers to use more energy-efficient tools, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  We're kicking ourselves because we recently tossed a couple of old drills that hadn't worked in years during a recent garage clean-up. If your current drill is old and busted, don't make the same mistake we did. This might a good time to upgrade.
