Home Depot's 20% off Tool Sale?

Hmm, I do know of ONE HD 20% tool sale and that was at least 3 years ago! In fact, I JUST unpacked the Rigid planner that I bought at that time.

I think they have selected tools on sale at different times, but I don't believe there ever was a repeat of that all tools 20% off.

I'm sure they'll have it again this year--about 2 weeks before Xmas. I want the Milwaukee heat gun they recently started carrying.

Also keep your eye on Amazon/Toolcrib. Last year, they offered 20% off ALL portable power tools for the first day or two (the same time HD and Lowes started their promotions), but then changed to 20% off only the portable power tools that HD and Lowes sell.

In my area, HD and Lowes had 20% off sales (about 2 weeks before Christmas, and only on portable power tools) the past two years. The year before that, they had 10% off sale at around the same time. Menards usually had 2-3 different promotions during this time frame, between 10 and 20% off.

HD had a 40% off sale a few years ago when I picked up their Ridgid planer. I got it for just over $200 including sales tax.

I have a feeling this will be a poor shopping season and the retailers will have massive sales in February and March.

The 40% off was on clearance items only. The Ridgid planer happened to on clearance for a new model at the time.

I got a killer deal on a pressure washer at the 40% off clearance. I paid $300 for a $600 or $700 machine. It had been used and returned, but it worked just fine. It ended up costing me about $400 total because the hose, wand, and nozzles were gone. I could have had a lesser pressure washer new for $400 but this one will last forever.

In view of their stolen pencil screwup and the attention it got them, maybe it should be a 40% sale this year.

Original price of $600.00. You got 40% off and paid $300.00. New math?

The 40% was off the lowest marked price which was less than normal retail.
