The Black Friday 2026 tool deals season is here, and with it plenty of Milwaukee mechanics tool deals and promos at Home Depot.
I bought a bunch of Milwaukee socket sets a few years ago, and they’re still going strong. I’ve been using samples of Milwaukee wrenches for a while – they’re among a very short list of my favorites.
As was true when I first started buying Milwaukee mechanics tools, this is the best time of year to build or expand your tool kit for less money.
Here’s a roundup of the tool deals, plus my favorite picks from the bunch.
My Top 6 Picks
To sum things up, here’s what I’d buy if I were building up my tool kit again.
11pc Metric Wrench Set with Tray – $60 (great wrenches, great price, I’d also get the SAE)
50pc 1/4″ Mechanics Tool Set – $95 (I have this set in my tool box)
3/8″ SAE and Metric Socket Sets in Packout Cases – $169 (same tools, Packout-compatible portability, or just get the separate sets – I linked to those above)
The Milwaukee sets that come in a low-profile case are great for tool drawer or on-the-go use. For primarily on-the-go needs, that’s where the Packout socket sets have an edge in my opinion.
M12 Compact Brushless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit with 3/8″ Ratchet – $199 (great drill and impact, convenient ratchet for not a lot of additional money)
2pc Long-Reach Pliers Set – $50 (great bargain, good problem-solvers)
4pc Hook and Pick Set – $15 (basic but handy)
11pc SAE Wrench Set with Tray – $60
11pc Metric Wrench Set with Tray – $60
I like the idea of these smaller wrench sets – if you can even call them smaller – for tool carts and secondary work locations. Or spring for Milwaukee’s 15pc sets if you need a broader range of sizes.
They’re great wrenches. The metric set sold out last year, and I kicked myself for waiting too long. While I don’t need more wrenches right now, I think these are a great buy, and I might still pick up a set to upgrade one of my kits.
25pc 1/4″ Mechanics Tool Set – $50
50pc 1/4″ Mechanics Tool Set – $95 (you get shallow and deep sockets and more ratchet extensions | this set seems to be an online-only deal)
I’m a big fan of Milwaukee mechanics tool sets. I bought the larger set and placed the included tool tray into my tool box drawer. I still have the well-made low-profile carrying case if I want to make things portable again.
3/8″ SAE Socket Set in Packout Case – $100
3/8″ Metric Socket Set in Packout Case – $100
3/8″ SAE and Metric Socket Sets in Packout Cases – $169 (you get both for less, and at even better pricing than last year!)
These are great grab-and-go solutions.
2pc Long-Reach Pliers Set – $50 (they’re regularly $40 each)
4pc Hook and Pick Set – $15 (a basic set that comes in handy)
3/8″ 43pc Shockwave Impact Socket Set (SAE and Metric) – $99 (same as last year)
M12 Fuel Brushless Ratchet and Impact Driver Kit – $229 (priced higher than last year)
Also Available at Acme Tools – $229
M12 Compact Brushless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit with 3/8″ Ratchet – $199
Also Available at Acme Tools – $199
Do you want Milwaukee’s M12 Fuel brushless ratchet, plus an impact driver, or the subcompact brushless drill and impact driver kit with an older brushed motor ratchet?
There’s some confusion about what’s included.
The combo I saw in stores features the Milwaukee 2567 ratchet, an M12 Fuel high speed 3/8″ cordless ratchet. That’s the outgoing model that has since been replaced. The latest version, model 3053, sells for $229 by itself.
There are even more deals besides these – I’ll include them in forthcoming posts. I tried to limit this post to a more curated selection of what I’d buy.
