Lowe’s is packing serious value into its August tool deals, with markdowns that hit everything from everyday cordless gear to bigger cutting and fastening machines. The lineup leans on familiar names like Craftsman, DeWalt, and Kobalt, and the discounts are strong enough to make upgrading a garage setup feel a lot less painful.
Some of the biggest savings land on combo kits and pro-style specialty tools, while a few of the offers include batteries and chargers that usually push the price up fast. That mix matters, because a low sticker price is nice, but a complete kit can be the difference between a deal that looks good and one that actually gets used.
The Craftsman V20 two-tool combo kit is one of the loudest bargains in the group, dropping from $169 to $79. For $90 off, buyers get a drill/driver and impact driver setup along with a battery and charger, which makes it a tidy all-in-one entry point for household jobs and weekend projects.
It is the kind of kit that fits a lot of real-world use. The drill/driver brings enough power for common tasks around the house, while the impact driver adds the muscle needed for tougher fastening work, and the VersaTrack compatibility gives it a nice place in a more organized shop.
DeWalt fans have a strong option too, with the XTREME 12-volt Max brushless cordless circular saw marked down to $99 from $169. That $70 cut is especially appealing for anyone who wants a compact saw without paying full price, even if this one is sold tool-only and does not include a battery or charger.
What makes that saw stand out is the mix of portability and control. It uses a brushless motor, a 5 ⅜-inch blade, and adjustable bevel settings, so it can handle clean angled cuts without feeling bulky, and the built-in rafter hook plus electric brake add a practical touch that matters on busy job sites.
The Kobalt 24-volt variable-speed brushless ½-inch drive cordless impact wrench brings another sharp discount, falling to $149 from $229. That is $80 off, and unlike some bare-tool deals, this one includes a battery, fast charger, and soft storage bag, which makes the package feel a lot more complete right out of the box.
This is the kind of tool that shines when automotive work or stubborn hardware is on the list. With up to 650 foot-pounds of torque, a compact body, and three speed and torque settings, it is built for tight spaces and serious loosening power without turning into a wrist workout.
Another DeWalt deal targets versatility rather than brute force. The XTREME 12-volt Max brushless cordless oscillating multi-tool is down to $99 from $159, trimming $60 off a compact tool that can cover cutting, scraping, and small-detail work without demanding a lot of storage space.
That one is especially useful for people already running DeWalt 12-volt gear, since it is sold without a battery. The universal accessory adaptor and Quick-Change system make it easy to swap attachments, which keeps the tool flexible and makes it easier to tackle odd jobs without digging through a pile of separate gadgets.
For the biggest dollar drop on the list, the Craftsman V20 7 ¼-inch single-bevel sliding compound cordless miter saw gets the full spotlight. Lowe’s has it at $199 instead of $329, which means $130 off, and the package is loaded with extras like a battery, fast charger, blade, clamp, and dust bag.
That saw looks aimed at people who want clean cuts without dragging out a corded setup. With a 3,800 RPM motor, sliding blade, LED cut-line system, and enough capacity for lumber, trim, and baseboards, it has the kind of utility that can turn a stack of project plans into a very busy afternoon.
