Turns out that you don’t have to wait until Black Friday for holiday markdowns, at least not from Makita and RYOBI. These brands just announced some fantastic early holiday sales so you don’t have to jump to beat the rush. In fact, some of these sales even extend all the way until the end of January 2024.
So, let’s take a look at these deals and see how much you can save.
Holiday Sales Guide
Makita Pre-Holiday Sales
Makita is offering a variety of markdowns on some of its LXT 18V and XGT 40V items, a $180 instant rebate on Makita combo kits, and a Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) promotion on select Makita 18V LXT kits and tools. These holiday sales are live and end between December 31, 2023 to January 31, 2024, or while supplies last at participating Makita dealers.
Along with these deals, Makita has also launched its “Best Offers Of The Season – Black Friday – Now Through December” promotion.
Editor’s Note: We tracked down these Makita promotions with The Home Depot and various other retailers (in-store and online) and it truly does vary by retailer, so you may have to do a bit of online comparison shopping to find your best deal.
