BLACK+DECKER 20V Max 4-Tool Combo Kit, $200 (was $247)
Why do we like this deal?
With winter as far away as possible, it’s the perfect time of year to start home renovations and any major projects. As a result, larger tool sets have become a popular purchase, and manufacturers are competing for your dollars by making larger sales. For example, the price of a Ryobi six-tool set and a Craftsman seven-tool set recently dropped to less than $300. And now, at Walmart, a popular brand’s streamlined four-tool set has dropped to just $200.
After discounting nearly $50, the BLACK+DECKER 20V Max 4-Tool Combo Kit is now $200, and even ships free from Walmart.

One thing this Black+Decker four-tool set doesn’t skimp on is batteries. Many sets include just one, but this set includes two. They’re both 1.5 Ah, which is definitely on the smaller side, but if you have one charging while you use the other, you can leap through a project without any interruptions.
