Even with the holidays in sight, online retailers like Amazon are still putting up huge savings on all sorts of great gifts, but some of the best discounts are showing up on tools. These deals make perfect gifts for the DIYer in your life, like this handy chop saw and this useful 142-piece tool set. Another excellent stocking stuffer for the tool-obsessed guy in your life is this affordable bit set that’s now selling for less than $25.
DeWalt’s 40-Piece Impact-Ready Screwdriver Bit Set is now on sale for $20, which is 50% off of the regular price of $40. This bestselling and highly rated set has almost 90,000 reviews with an overall rating of 4.8 stars. Satisfied shoppers love that the kit includes bits that are “sturdy and durable” and that the case itself is “surprisingly well designed.” If you need a smaller set of bits that are designed for impact drivers, Amazon has this 20-piece set for 53% off for a sale price of $15.
It’s always a good idea to have as many extra bits as you can if you’re a DIYer who is constantly fixing things around the house and working on the varied machines in your garage. This set is a perfect addition to your collection, or an excellent gift for someone who is just starting to explore DIY life, because they are CNC-machined for a precise fit and can bend up to 15 degrees without breaking, making them ready to be used in high-torque situations. One of the best things about this kit is that it uses DeWalt’s ToughCase+ system, which is a connectable case design that makes organization easy and ups your storage options. It also comes with a magnetic screw lock sleeve and magnetic bit holder.
Happy customers were overall very satisfied with this “essential” bit kit, with one commenting, “From assembling furniture to installing fixtures, this set has proven indispensable. The magnetic screw lock system makes swapping bits quick and secure, enhancing efficiency during complex projects.” Another summed up the set by saying, “From Phillips and flathead to Torx and Allen, this set covers all my needs."
Other customers liked that the bits are made to work with impact drivers. “It is specifically designed to work seamlessly with DeWalt impact drivers, maximizing their performance and durability.” The majority loved the case, saying that the “case is strong” and “the bits are held securely.” Another said: “I love the way the bit holders can be removed from the tray holder.”
Once you have a decent collection of power drills, you need to keep a fresh set of bits around as they eventually will wear out, and situations always pop up that require a specific bit. This kit is great for the seasoned DIYer or newbie since it provides a good range of useful bits, comes with a few magnetic bit holders, and they are all nestled in a handy and configurable storage case—all for 50% off. Better act now though, as this bargain bin price won't be around forever.
