Lowe’s is Heavily Discounting Skil Cordless Power Tools

Lowe’s has heavily discounted a lot of Skil cordless power tools, specifically all of the models that are available for pickup at stores in my area.

This effectively looks like a clearance sale, as they try to reduce in-store inventory, similar to what Lowe’s has done with the Flex tools in their inventory.

As you might know, Skil and Flex are both owned by the same manufacturer, Chervon.

The discount on Skil tools varies, but most of the items that can be picked up locally are now 50% off. Two of the less expensive accessory types tools, a work light and small fan, are 33% off.

Many of the Skil tools that were included in Lowe’s blowout sale last month – see Massive Discounts on Flex and Skil Tools at Lowe’s – are showing as out of stock.

We’ve heard rumors that Lowe’s is dumping Flex tools from stores, and it seems they’re also intent on reducing Skil inventory.

At this time, there are 12 Skil SKUs – all discounted right now – that are available for pickup in my area. My regional Lowe’s stores are down to 5 Flex SKUs – a starter kit, reciprocating saw, circular saw, charger (at the same price as the starter kit with battery), and saw blade.

Unfortunately, almost all of the discounted Skil items are add-on tools and accessories. I’m only seeing one option with a battery – the cordless worklight with starter kit.
