There's not much else that's as satisfying as completing a job on your car yourself, and an even more satisfying feeling is bagging those car tool kits (or individual tools) at a knock-down price via a Black Friday deal.
There are loads of very tempting tool deals to be had throughout the year and especially in the run-up to Christmas. But Black Friday is the one everyone waits for. It's the time when you simply won't get new products from your favourite manufacturers at better prices.
Whether you're looking for a precision screwdriver, a complete socket set, or even a torque wrench. We're on the hunt for them all to help you bag the best tools at a bargain price.
This page will be kept continually updated with some cracking tool deals as and when they arrive.
The best early Black Friday tool deals
Editor's pick
Via WorkproA fully comprehensive set complete with two ratchets, a vast array of sockets ranging from 4-32mm in different guises, as well as 18 screws and extension bars, Workpro's tool kit is a great set for a DIY mechanic.
The best part is that you can save 25% on this set. And while larger Workpro sets are available, this one has everything you could need for most jobs on your car at home.
Pros
- Very well-equipped set
- Good quality materials
Cons
- Torque wrench not included
Best torque wrench deal
Via DraperFor ensuring safety of repairs and maintenance, car mechanics turn to torque wrenches to apply a specific torque to nuts, bolts, or lag screws. They are and should never be used to tighten or loosen these things, as that's the job of a ratchet.
If you know your way around a torque wrench and fancy trying one out, then you can save 26% on this great quality example that usually retails at £50.
Pros
- Great quality materials
- Easy to read torque measurements
Cons
- Takes a bit of getting used to for a beginner
Best screwdriver deal
Via DraperFor simple precision jobs involving a set of screwdrivers, you don't really need to look any further than Draper's XP1000 18-piece set. It comes with five plain slot screwdrivers, three cross slot screwdrivers, as well as PZ and Star screwdrivers.
You get two insulated handles with your set and a mains tester. It's designed for electrical work in mind, but for precise jobs in and around your vehicle, we don't see why it wouldn't be useful. And you can save nearly 50% on this set as a bonus.
Pros
- Neat set of screws for different uses
- Useful for electrical work and jobs around the house too
Cons
- Not magnetic
Best Swiss Army Knife Deal
Via Victorinox As car lovers, we can all appreciate both an iconic piece of engineering dribbled in history when we see it. The humble Swiss Army Knife is one of them, and it's great news: you can save 14% off this one.
Victorinox has been producing bladed pocket tools since 1884 and gently evolved into the iconic red design that we all know and love today. If your existing tool is beginning to wear off, saving a bit of cash on a new one is a no brainer. Especially considering they're still manufactured to the same level of Swiss craftsmanship.
Pros
- Iconic design
- Incredibly useful tools
Cons
- Traditional tools are probably better for car jobs

When is Black Friday this year?
In 2023, Black Friday will arrive on the 24th November and deals will still be running through until the following Monday (27th). This is known as Cyber Monday where in the past, there were generally more tech deals to be on the lookout for.
A massive tradition in the USA, it's traditionally held the day after thanksgiving and usually stirs up scenes of people stampeding through shopping centres and grabbing what they can. But thankfully, it's mostly held online and has been reaching out across the globe. It's an amazing opportunity to not leave your home and grab an epic deal in the run-up to Christmas.
The truth is though, deals will begin to circulate throughout the whole of November. We'll be keeping our eye on the best Black Friday tool deals and they'll all be listed here.
