Inventory is low this year for a lot of items — we’ll dig more into why below — so if you find something you’re interested in or really want, you should take ful ladvantage of any discounts! There’s no telling when that hot item is going to be sold out, or when the deal will be unavailable!

You need to shop the Amazon Black Friday deals now

The microchip shortage has caused quite a ruckus in the consumer electronics market and beyond. We’re seeing manufacturing delays, shipment delays, and many more problems on top of additional supply chain issues. The result is that inventory is really low for certain items, and when they go out of stock, there’s no telling when it will be available again. Black Friday deals also dropped earlier than ever this year, and things have been selling out quickly! Now’s the perfect time to get great prices on whatever you’ve been looking for, and if you find items in stock, you’ll want to jump on the opportunity!

If you’re worried about buying too early and missing out on great deals later, don’t be. The major retailers have extended holiday returns windows to accommodate the early deals. Amazon, for example, has extended its return period until January 2022. If you buy something between now and then, and it goes on sale for cheaper later, you can always return and rebuy it for the better price, or get a refund for the price difference. But if you wait and a better deal shows up later, there’s no guarantee there will be enough items in stock! Buy now, while the items are available, and worry about getting the best possible deal later. It’s unlikely we’ll see price drops larger than what’s available now.

A basic set of power tools is a necessity for every household, because you never know when you'll need any of them. If you don't have one yet, or if you want to upgrade from a rusty set, you should take a look at the ongoing Cyber Monday deals for bargains. To help you out, we've rounded up our favorite deals below.

One thing to note is that many of the tools below require rechargeable batteries to join. But getting rechargeable AA and AAA batteries won't help you here, instead we're looking at (typically) 20V batteries made by each brand for their tools. And that's why we're looking at these power tools on a brand by brand basis, because the more batteries you collect the more convenient the brand's tools become. In much the same way that iPhone users benefit from the synergy of more Apple devices, you will benefit from more tools from a given brand.

Digital Trends Best Cyber Monday AirPods Deals

If you want to get new AirPods, Cyber Monday deals give you a great opportunity for massive discounts. If you have an iPhone but you don't yet own a pair of the best earbuds, AirPods are the obvious choice. If you have an older pair of AirPods and are planning to upgrade, even the newer models are on sale in Cyber Monday headphone and earbud deals. To round out your iPhone suite, check out the Cyber Monday iPhone 15 case deals too. One thing to note is that we are including a section for new AirPods as well as a section for refurbished AirPods. If you're buying these AirPods as a gift for a loved one, then it makes sense to only buy the new products without hesitation. Gifting refurbished is awkward. However, if you're shopping for yourself, the refurbished AirPods are also okay, giving you a better deal on highly-inspected products. Due to a generalized stigma, refurbished products can actually make for some of the best Cyber Monday deals. They're also a highly sustainable product, since we can consider this direct recycling.Best AirPods Cyber Monday DealsScouring high and low, here is what we're finding in terms of AirPods. Whether we're seeing the relatively new AirPods 3 or the, in tech terms, "ancient" original AirPods Pro, we are seeing good deals roll out at this time.
