# Gear Editor: The Black Friday Deals I’m Actually Buying

![What I bought on black friday 2025](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/what-I-bought-black-friday.jpg>)

I test gear for a living, so it takes a really good deal for me to hit the buy button. Well, I'm also a gear addict so if there's an OK deal on a cool piece of kit I'll also buy it. This Black Friday there are some particularly good deals on gear that I like. Here's what I bought today.

## Stuff I Bought

### 25% off a [Dewalt Stealthsonic Shop Vac](<https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-STEALTHSONIC-Attachments-Powerful-DXV10S-QT/dp/B0D9GBM8RF?tag=camdenxodl-20>)

I needed a quiet shop vac and this is supposed to be the quietest option. When I bought it yesterday it was 20% off, and it's now discounted even more at 25% off.

### [Vortex Optics Triumph HD 10x42 Binoculars](<https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-Triumph-10x42-Binoculars/dp/B0C6N72X5Y?tag=camdenxodl-20>) Are Now Only $75

I got one of these as a gift for someone who is a backyard birder.

### Save 20% on a [Nitecore EDC37](<https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-EDC37-Flashlight-Charging-Digital/dp/B0FDBQGDW2?tag=camdenxodl-20>)

I couldn't pass up this deal on an 8,000 lumen beast of a flashlight.

### Save $21 on a [Pocket Screwdriver, EDC Palm Multitool](<https://www.amazon.com/WANERSEN-Screwdriver-Multitool-Phillips-Everyday/dp/B0CCVP9SKL?tag=camdenxodl-20>)

I'm late to the Ultem trend, and this screwdriver called to me.

### Save 30% on an [Anker Prime Power Bank](<https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Charging-TSA-Approved-Included/dp/B0F66LNB8D?tag=camdenxodl-20>)

I've been searching for a small power bank that can power my laptop.

### Save 24% on a [EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower](<https://www.amazon.com/EGO-Cordless-Electric-Battery-Charger/dp/B09RNDQCV3?tag=camdenxodl-20>)

This was the last season for my loud gas blower.
