Home Depot's 2026 Labor Day sale offers strong discounts on grills, smokers and power tools, though its smart home and security deals fall short—many are outdated models or come from brands like Ring that WIRED does not recommend on privacy grounds. Shoppers seeking those categories are advised to look instead at WIRED's dedicated tech or Amazon Labor Day deal guides, while the tools and outdoor equipment on offer at Home Depot represent genuine value across several trusted brands.

Standout deals include $100 off Traeger's Woodridge pellet smoker and a record-low $390 price on its entry-level Pro 22, alongside $50 off Weber's Kettle and Spirit E-210 grills (or half price, $100, for a green Kettle). Milwaukee's M18 impact driver, usually $179, comes free with a battery purchase, with buy-one-get-one deals extending to other tools such as an oscillating multi-tool. Ryobi landscaping equipment, including a $159 leaf blower, is also discounted via BOGO battery offers, alongside a low-cost starter power tool kit.
