This year's Amazon Prime Big Deal Days was a smashing success for shoppers searching for deals on men's seasonal clothing, outdoor gear, and even everyday carry accessories, but it was an even bigger hit for fans of DeWalt tools.
DeWalt tools are well-known for dipping in price during Amazon's big sales, and this one included some old favorites and some new additions. DeWalt's deals on 20V 5Ah batteries were some of the most popular, with savings of over $100 on its bestselling two-pack. DeWalt's other well-known bestseller—the 20V cordless drill and impact driver kit—was also on sale, as was the popular Oscillating Multi-Tool, except this time, it's part of a kit with a battery. Surprisingly, DeWalt also knocked down the price of several high-quality step ladders by $100 or more. After Men's Journal scoured the DeWalt's deals that are still active after the close of October Prime Day, we found six that are worthy of a spot in your tool cabinet.
Many DeWalt fans used October Prime Day to stock up on replacements for their drills, and this set of bits was one of the first things they looked for. These bits are coated in black oxide and are ideal for hitting metal, hardwood, fiberglass, and more, and they've been designed to reduce walking on the surface you're drilling into. The 21 drill bits range in size from 1/16 to 1/2 and nest neatly in the hard plastic DeWalt case—no more messy drawers.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Very affordable and top-quality product. I used these drill bits to drill through metal and plastic. Super strong—sped up the process and never broke or felt dull. For a cheaper and good-quality purchase, 10/10.

DeWalt's Oscillating Multi-Tool is wickedly popular because of its almost endless utility, and it's one of October Prime Day's best deals from the yellow tool brand. These can slice, sand, polish, trim, and do many other tasks with the proper attachments (many of which are still on sale as well), and are especially useful for working on hard-to-reach areas when making home improvements. This model is brushless, which makes it more efficient, and uses DeWalt's Quick Change system that makes attaching blades a breeze.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Great tool for fine work. This is an odd tool that easily becomes a go-to for so many things. As someone renovating an old house, it's incredible."

The 20V Max Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Kit is an Amazon shopper favorite with a firm grasp on the No. 1 overall spot among power tool combo kits. It's the most entry-level package offered by the brand, but it's also one of the most useful because of the powerful two-speed drill that can clock up to 1,500 rpm and the impact driver's 1,500 inch-pounds of torque. These are the building blocks of good DIY and are plenty reliable as jobsite tools, and for $80 off the normal price, they continue to be one of Amazon's best deals.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Owning an apartment building and working in construction, I needed powerful tools that could tackle anything I threw at them. My old tools just weren’t cutting it anymore, so I decided to upgrade—and I’m so glad I did.

Amazon is usually the best place to pick up an extra set of DeWalt batteries, and this 20V 5Ah two-pack is the best overall value for the money. They can last for hours depending on the tool you're using, and together, you can get a full day of work out of them. What's most convenient is that they include an LED fuel gauge that tells you how much life is left in them. There's no charger in this pack, but you need one, they're also still on sale after October Prime Day.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Bought some off-brand batteries that just don't have the run time of the DeWalt. Much cheaper than the real deal, but sometimes you just need the runtime. My wife uses them for her DeWalt chainsaw when she goes on disaster relief work."

The DeWalt 20V Max Leaf Blower might have been one of the more timely deals of Prime Big Deal Days—right on time for yard cleanup. It offers the convenience of a lightweight build at just under 7 pounds, a trigger lock that'll have your index finger thanking you, and a variable speed switch to match the area and type of debris you're looking to clear. It'll blow air at speeds of up to 135 mph which means it's well-suited for areas like patios and walkways to medium-sized yards. It doesn't come with any b batteries, so we recommend picking up at least one 6Ah battery—on sale right now—to help get the most time out of your leaf blower.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I was able to clean out two one-car garages, each with a floor full of fall leaves and dust, on a single battery charge. It is powerful, lightweight, and easy to handle."

All professionals and most houses need a step ladder, and this 4-footer from DeWalt is an excellent option. It's made from non-conductive fiberglass, which is safe, durable, and very strong, and it meets the safety requirements set by both ANSI and OSHA. It can take on up to 300 pounds of weight and has well-treaded rubber feet to make sure it stays put when you're on it. Conveniently, the top was designed with magnetic trays for keeping nails and screws in addition to multiple tool slots and even a clip slot for paint trays. If you need a little extra height, this ladder is also on sale in a 6-foot model.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I bought this 4-foot ladder to use in my unfinished basement space and general low-height areas around the house. This ladder is solid, very sturdy, and light enough to carry around with ease."
