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.

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.
