Tools are notoriously expensive, and power tools even more so—so taking advantage of deals when they’re available is always a good way to save money on your current and future DIY home projects. As we approach Prime Day on July 16, there are already some good tool deals available that you can take advantage of.
A good quality circular saw will be useful for a variety of DIY projects, allowing you to cut plywood, boards, or other materials. The cordless Makita 6 1/2" circular saw is on sale for $102, 51% off its regular price. This is a tool-only deal, so it's only a good bargain if you already have a Makita 18 volt battery set.
A cordless orbital sander makes finishing work simpler, allowing you to use the tool without dragging an extension cord around behind you as you work. The DeWalt 20 volt orbital sander is on sale right now for $89.97, 50% off its regular price. This is a tool-only deal, so you'll need a DeWalt battery set to use this sander, but it does come with a dust bag.
An oscillating multi tool is a great addition to a home shop, as it can be used to cut a variety of materials, as well as for sanding and polishing. The DeWalt 20 volt oscillating tool is on sale right now for $85.79, 52% off its normal price. This is a tool-only package, so you'll need 20 volt DeWalt batteries to use it.
A reciprocating saw can be used for quick cuts, trimming in awkward spaces where other tools won't work, or cutting through a combination of materials. The Milwaukee 18 volt reciprocating saw kit is on sale for $163, 57% off its usual price. The kit comes with the saw, a battery and charger, and a blade as well as a carrying case.
If your current tool batteries are worn out, or if you need to expand your battery collection for a growing tool kit, the 18 volt Makita battery set is a good deal at $199.99, 60% off its regular price. This set comes with two 18-volt Makita batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. These batteries will work with most Makita 18 volt tools and are compatible with both new and existing models.
Rapid charging lithium ion batteries make your projects go faster, with less time on the charger so you can always have a fresh battery on hand. The DeWalt 20 volt MAX battery 2 pack is on sale for $99, 50% off its regular price. These batteries have a slimmer design that makes them a little bit lighter and easier to pack. The two-pack doesn't come with a charger, so you'll need a DeWalt 20 volt charger to use them.
Long-lasting batteries mean that they don't need to be swapped out as frequently, allowing you to keep going on whatever project you're working on with fewer interruption. the Milwaukee 18 volt battery kit is on sale for $167, 52% off its usual price. The batteries are 6 amp hour, high capacity batteries for heavy duty tools or longer run time on regular tools. The kit comes with two batteries, a charger, and a tool bag.
