Home Depot has had their BF stuff out for more than a week. Lowe's has just joined them according to the ads. Northern Tool just sent me stuff in the mail yesterday, with most 'deals' available now. BF is becoming a season more than one day.
If you are in the market for drills, drivers, hammer drills, impact drivers, recip saws, and other battery powered tools, there are good packages available, often with a pair of batteries now at HD (on Ridgid, Ryobi, Milwaukee, and DeWalt particularly). Some packages include tools with brushless motors. I'd bet Lowe's has similar (but not Ridgid or Ryobi).
I'm particularly impressed with a specific Ridgid combination of 20V or 18V impact driver and hammer drill (I forget if they are brushless motors), with two batts and a charger for $200 - a way better deal if those are the tools you are looking for than their 'buy this and get pick one of these free" packages. Can you tell what what I'd like to buy?
Great selection and decent prices for those purchases.
