On my weekly trip to Costco, I noticed that they had put up their holiday tool display. That means its once again time to pick the most notable deals.
All the same caveats apply fromprevious years:
- This isnt an extensive list of all the tools they have for sale, just the ones I found interesting, or the ones I thought our readers might be interested in.
- Most of these deals are in-store and not online, although this year several more deals appeared on the Costco website. I cant guarantee that every Costco location has every one of these deals. Theres also the chance that theyve been sold out at your local Costco.
- Costco is a club style retailer, and you typically need a paid membership to shop there.
Porter Cable 5 Pc Cordless Power Tool Combo
First up is the new Porter Cable 5 tool combo shown above, and this is a different kit than what they offered last year as reflected by the $250 price.
What justifies a $150 increase in price? The addition of an impact driver, and wet/dry vac, but theyve removed the flashlight and swapped out a 4Ah battery for another 2Ah battery. Heres what comes in this kit:
- PCC601 Drill/Driver
- PCC641 Impact Driver
- PCC661 Circular Saw
- PCC671 Reciprocating Saw
- PCC795B Wet-Dry Vac
- PCC691 Charger
- (2) 2.0Ah 20V Max Batteries
This kit is available both in Costco stores and online.
Price: $250

Price: $90
Dewalt 173pc Polished Chrome Mechanics Tool Set

Lifetime 6 Folding Table
While not technically a tool, we really love our lifetime 6 folding table. It stores easy, has a carrying handle, is easy to clean, and is nearly indestructible.
Costco is selling them for $50. Is this a good price? We paid $30 about 10 years ago and Ive seen the same table selling for a lot more.
Price: $50
Heavy Duty Tarps
Last year they had same 12 x 16 reversible tarps in blue and brown for $22. It looks like this years colors are blue and silver. Other than the color, these appear to be the same tarps.
Price: $21
Presto Parabolic IR Heater
Ive written many a post next to my Presto parabolic IR heater. It can definitely throw the heat. Ill turn it on to medium, get into writing a post, and Ill find 15 minutes later that Im sweating.
The IR heater is 1000W and heats objects in the path of the parabolic reflector, not the air. It always comes out in the winter priced at $70, I dont think Ive ever seen discounted.
Price: $70
