These are the best Dewalt Cyber Monday deals on tools, accessories, and more

A DeWalt drill being used.

If you picked up a Cyber Monday TV deal, you might need to shop for a Cyber Monday cordless drill deal to get it properly mounted yourself. DeWalt, which not only makes great tools but also has some CamelCamelCamel-verified Cyber Monday deals, makes more than just the drill. The following deals represent the best Cyber Monday power tool deals you can get from DeWalt, plus some extra equally well-made DeWalt goods. It might also be worth checking out our general Cyber Monday deals roundup for any other deals that might interest you.
Our top pick: DeWalt 20V Max Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit — $299 $409 27% off

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.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion

Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.

Travelers: Come one, come all for these Bluetti Black Friday hauls

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.
