With its ergonomic design, this steamer is as comfortable to hold as it is easy to use. Instead of being bulky like some steamers, this one is very lightweight, and you get a firm grip without having your hand cramp up. That’s partly thanks to the locking mechanism, which delivers continuous steam without your having to hold a button down. The steam output is not as powerful as that of some steamers, but that’s what makes this one perfect for delicate fabrics. It also comes with three attachments specifically designed for delicates, upholstery, and lint removal.

An extra side table in your study would sure go nice with that and a drill/driver could very well make the table's construction much easier.
Really, with so so many of your early Black Friday purchases, there might be a chance to pick up a cordless drill or driver and get to work. As such, we've compiled a list of the best cordless drill deals throughout Black Friday deals that are available now, so you can get a head start on prepping for the savings that are to come.
