What Home Depot clearance tool prices look like
People search for "Home Depot clearance tool prices" because they want to know one thing: how cheap does it really get? Here's real data instead of guesses.
These prices come from PennyLoot's clearance checks at Home Depot stores in the 35 days up to October 31, 2026. We only included tools that were at least half off with an original price of $40 or more. Each price is what one store's system showed at that time, so your store may differ.
Typical discounts by brand
| Brand | Clearance items | Stores with clearance | Median discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee | 120 | 483 | 55% |
| RIDGID | 81 | 402 | 54% |
| DEWALT | 77 | 527 | 53% |
| RYOBI | 73 | 499 | 55% |
| Diablo | 40 | 90 | 85% |
| Husky | 38 | 520 | 76% |
| Lincoln Electric | 18 | 110 | 78% |
| Bosch | 13 | 319 | 64% |
| Makita | 10 | 233 | 50% |
Two patterns stand out:
- Big power tool brands usually clear at about half off. Milwaukee, DEWALT, RYOBI, RIDGID and Makita mostly sat in the 50–60% range.
- Accessories and store brands go deeper. Diablo bits, Husky hand tools and Lincoln Electric welding gear often hit 75–85% off.

Why the same tool has different prices
Home Depot clearance is set store by store. A store marks a tool down when it wants the shelf space: an old model, a kit being replaced, a returned item or extra stock. So:
- One store may have a tool at 75% off while a store ten minutes away still has it at full price.
- A tool can be on clearance at a single store in your whole area.
- Prices drop in steps, so today's 50% off can be 75% off in a few weeks, if it's still there.
That's why checking several stores near you matters more than any national list. Our tool clearance guide explains where clearance tools hide in the store and how to spot a real deal.
Is a tool clearance price a good deal?
A quick check before you buy:
- Compare with sale prices. Big brands run promos (free battery, buy-one-get-one). A 50% clearance price can beat that, or not. See special buy vs. clearance.
- Check what's in the box. Clearance kits are often returns. Make sure the battery, charger and accessories are there.
- Watch the battery platform. A cheap tool on a battery system you don't own isn't cheap.
- Check the return window. Clearance tools usually follow the normal return rules, but ask. See returning clearance items.
Can tools hit a penny?
Rarely, but it happens, mostly with accessories, bits and older kits that sit for a long time. Most tools sell before they get close. For how pennies work, see our Home Depot penny items guide.

Frequently asked questions
How much are Home Depot clearance tools marked down?
In the clearance tool listings we checked that were at least half off, the median discount was about 53–55% for Milwaukee, DEWALT, RYOBI and RIDGID, about 64% for Bosch, 76% for Husky, 78% for Lincoln Electric and 85% for Diablo.
Which tool brands go on clearance at Home Depot?
All of them. In our data, Milwaukee had the most clearance tool items, followed by RIDGID, DEWALT, RYOBI, Diablo and Husky.
Are Home Depot clearance tool prices the same at every store?
No. Clearance prices are set by each store. Some tools were on clearance at only one store, while others, like a DEWALT charging station, were marked down at over 200 stores.
Can power tools be penny items?
It happens, but rarely. Most tool clearance stops at a deep markdown and sells before it reaches $0.01. Accessories and old kits are more likely to go very low.
