Update 11/29/24: Black Friday is the best time to grab yourself a cordless drill, and with a ton of great deals, it’s hard to pinpoint what is the best one overall. One great option is the DeWalt 20V Max Drill/Driver Kit; not only does it come with a great discount, but it also includes a battery and a charger. Of course, the rest of the deals are pretty great, too, and we’ve updated the prices so you can get the latest deals. We’ll also be updating this article with new and better deals as we find them, so be sure to check back regularly!

If you’re buying anything this Black Friday, there’s a big chance you might want a drill/driver to go with it. A drill/driver is one part drill, one part (screw)driver, and it can help out in many situations. For example, say you take part in one of these Black Friday TV deals, you very well might want to wall mount it. Then, say you grab an easy coffee maker from Keurig’s Black Friday deals. 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 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. You might also want to check out these Black Friday power tool deals for a few more options, too.

How to choose a drill on Black Friday

Black Friday starts with a ‘B,’ and so do these three factors that everybody should consider when they buy a drill:

Brand — While you might associate favoring brands with those among us stuck on Black Friday Apple deals because they’re so enmeshed in the system, power tools go the same way. Once you get one Bosch 12V, you’ll start to want to get everything Bosch 12V is you can. And that’s because of the…

Battery — Batteries are compatible with other products in the line of the battery. In other words, your Milwaukee M12 battery with be good with other Milwaukee M12 tools. (Be careful of the distinction between M12 and M18 for Milwaukee!) Some products come ‘bare tool’ or ‘tool only’ and you’ll need to use your existing batteries from other kits if you buy these deals.

Brushless — Brushless motors are preferred by serious tool users for their longevity and power. Be sure to get a tool with a brushless motor if you intend to fire up your drill on the regular, but know that you can probably get away a plain brushed motor if you just drive a few screws into wood during your annual furniture upgrades.

How we chose these Black Friday drill deals

We chose these Black Friday drill deals with the same reasoning that you’d use while buying them. We provided tools from the top brands, with and (sometimes) without batteries, at various prices that make sense for you.

Ultimately the cordless drill is at the heart of the battery-powered wireless power tool economy and is the place where a company tries to get you dedicated to its brand (see ‘Brand’ above). That’s a good thing for you if you just want a drill/driver, as you can get really good deals in this space.

But at the same time, if you want a more expansive power tool collection, go ahead and check out the rest of the line. Its one of the big reasons you shouldn’t just pick the cheapest tool available, even if you just do casual drilling.

Bissell CleanView XR price drops even lower for Black Friday deal
The Bissel CleanView XR tackles a dirty floor.

Thanksgiving might be behind us but you're totally pardoned if you made a mess. You still have to clean it up, but you're pardoned for making it. Luckily this Black Friday vacuum deal just landed and it's a good one — the Bissell CleanView XR has dropped its price and it is 42% off. Originally $200, you can get it today for $115. It's really a special Black Friday deal that you very well might want to pick up now if your old vacuum isn't sucking things up with the same gusto it used to this Thanksgiving day. Of course, there are robot vacuum Black Friday deals and Dyson Black Friday deals that this offering from Bissell has to compete with, but we still think it's worth your time to look at. To see it yourself, tap the button below, or keep reading to get our take on the offer.

 
Why you should buy the Bissell CleanView XR
Bissell's CleanView XR is, in many ways, a very typical stick vacuum of the modern era. And, with a $115 price tag, that's actually a strength because the price is much lower. It has the standard stick with the tangle-free brushroll, has no cord, uses LED lights near the floor surface to help you detect dirt and dust, has alternate heads for cleaning cars and corners, and has an easy-dump tank. If you've bought a vacuum in the past couple of years, you're probably already accustomed to these features and love them, meaning this vacuum should easily fit in with the life that you already live. Ultimately, we find it amazing how average this vacuum cleaner is at this price. There's even an allergen filter for your pet's hair to keep everyone in your home a little less sneezy. It's just not the kind of package you expect for $100.
