Want the inside scoop on the reality of Black Friday tool deals? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Joined by Ed the Old Tech Guy, a maestro of knowledge on tools and tech, we pull back the curtain on the hype and glitter of Black Friday deals. We take a fascinating deep-dive into the world of power tools and the illusion of enticing deals, while touching on the importance of skill diversity in the cabling industry.

Ever wondered how Black Friday deals for power tools have evolved over the years? Over a piping hot cup of coffee, we chew over the impact that inflation has had on these deals. We salute companies like DeWalt that have held their ground with consistent discounts, even in the face of economic uncertainties. The chat takes an interesting turn as we scrutinize the offerings of different brands, their battery platforms, and how crucial it is to choose one that satisfies all job requirements. It’s not all serious talk, though – we entertain the growing popularity of electric ratchets among low voltage workers with some comparisons from various brands.

Finding the right brand of hand tool can be a tough nut to crack, especially if you’re a greenhorn in the craftsman industry. Worry not, we got you covered! With a hearty discussion on the pros and cons of top brands like Craftsman, Klein, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, and Flex, we give you the lowdown on what to expect. Ever found yourself in the new-versus-used-tools conundrum? We help you navigate this tricky terrain, offering some insider tips. Wrapping up, we touch on the flux in the tool warranty market, the pride in buying USA-made tools, and Harbor Freight’s commendable lifetime warranty policy.
