This is the bread and butter of DeWalt Black Friday deals right now, as it has not only the most essential tools of any kit — the drill and driver — but also a pair of batteries and a charger to keep them ready to go and a nice duffel as well. Get this kit for $299 to get started with DeWalt's 20V products in the best way possible. I personally own this kit, and I use it weekly, if not most days. I'm always hanging something up on the wall, fixing something that's broken around the house or just building some new contraption. The small drill is excellent for quick tasks, while the hammer drill is great for drilling into tough materials.
