Huge Sale on the Dewalt Cordless Miter Saw at Lowe’s

Lowe’s has a very low price on the Dewalt 20V Max 12″ sliding miter saw, DCS785B (tool-only).

At the time of this posting, Acme Tools has it for $699, Home Depot has it for $699, Amazon has it for $699, and Lowe’s has it for… $369?!

If you were in the market for a large Dewalt cordless miter saw, this seems like an “order first, think it over later” type of tool deal.

Update: It looks like Lowe’s changed their mind and raised the price. It could be worth checking back, as Lowe’s sometimes goes back and forth with prices as they did with Flex and Skil earlier this month.

I’m serious – I would treat this as a “buy first, think it over after” type of deal if I were in the market for a Dewalt cordless miter saw.

Not buying one? Let’s talk about it. What do you think is going on here?

According to Lowe’s product page, they have a couple at every store in my area, and over 150 units available online. They sold 100+ miter saws in the past week, but seem to have hundreds and maybe even thousands in stock at stores nationwide.

Amazon says they sold just 50+ in the past month, which isn’t a lot, especially this time of year.

Based on that, my guess is that Lowe’s is trying to clear out inventory ahead of the New Year.

Dewalt has been advertising this saw as being an innovation “award winner,” although frankly I don’t see what’s special.

Dewalt makes good miter saws for construction applications, and they had a decent cordless 12″ sliding miter saw in the FlexVolt line.

I can’t think of any other reason why Lowe’s would be selling this for so much less money than Home Depot or Amazon.

Dewalt seems to have favored Lowe’s over Home Depot with respect to better holiday season deals and promos this year, but I don’t think they would do that with common SKUs like this one. I’ve only seen Dewalt give Lowe’s more favorable pricing when it comes to exclusive cordless power tool models.

• Buy it at Acme Tools

Dewalt cordless miter saws aren’t my first choice (there’s nothing wrong with them, I just prefer other brands’ designs and engineering), but I’d jump on this in a heartbeat if I were a Dewalt 20V Max user considering a 12″ sliding miter saw.
