DeWALT makes excellent power tools, and most people have all the basics that are pretty large. Sometimes, all you need is a small and versatile tool to get the job done. Whether you're low on space or don't want to buy huge tools, here are some tiny DeWALT tools that'll deliver big results. Part of what makes DeWALT so successful is its various lineups of power tools, ensuring there's something for everyone. There are large 20V MAX tools, MAX XR, and compact ATOMIC tools. And while the ATOMIC series is usually the smallest, those aren't the only tiny DeWALT tools you'll want to have around the house. DeWALT 4V Electric Screwdriver It's USB rechargeable, too If you're a homeowner, chances are you don't need a big, powerful drill or impact driver for little repairs and DIY tasks. Instead, you can easily get by with a small, lightweight, USB rechargeable cordless screwdriver. The DeWALT FLEXDRIVE cordless electric screwdriver set comes with 14 pieces, different speed modes, and it's a nifty little tool. For under $80, DeWALT sells a solid option that makes driving screws or assembling furniture fast and easy. It's an electric 4V screwdriver, which comes with various bits, and for many, it'll be more than enough. There's even a built-in LED for when you need a little more light. DeWALT 4V Electric Screwdriver Set DeWALT's tiny 4V electric screwdriver is perfect for small jobs around the house. It has various speeds, multiple bits, an LED light, and it's USB rechargeable. DeWALT ATOMIC 20V Compact Reciprocating Saw A small, easy-to-use hackzall Credit: DeWALT Did you know that the name "Sawzall" for a reciprocating saw is actually a registered trademark by the company that invented the tool—Milwaukee? That's why every other brand calls it a reciprocating saw. And now, there are smaller "Hackzall" versions like the DeWALT 20V ATOMIC Compact saw shown above. Sawzalls are excellent and truly versatile tools around the house, but they're big, powerful, require two hands, and can cause significant hand and arm fatigue. That's why you'll want to get this smaller yet just as capable compact recip saw from DeWALT. I own a similar version made by Ryobi, and it's an excellent addition to any tool collection. DeWALT 20V ATOMIC Compact Recipricating Saw $129 $179 Save $50 This compact saw works just like a Sawzall, only it's designed for one-handed use while still delivering a 5/8 in. stroke length and variable speed up to 2,800 SPM. It'll cut just about anything. Cut all the things Credit: DeWALT A "compact" tool like the DeWALT 20V XR 3-inch Cut-Off Tool (or wheel) isn't designed to be big and powerful. Instead, it's a small, lightweight, multi-use tool that's perfect for around the house. Whether you're cutting metal, plastic, tile, boxes, or anything else, this small tool will get the job done. Basically, this is a small 3-inch cut-off wheel that'll be easy to control and use one-handed, which is why it's such a popular little tool. It has easy user-replaceable blades, multiple speeds, a balanced design, and a built-in protector guard. And being an XR model, you're getting a powerful yet efficient brushless motor that'll last for years to come. DeWALT 20V XR 3-inch Cutoff Wheel This compact saw is perfect for all those little jobs. With a standard 3-inch cutoff blade and plenty of power, it's a tool worth considering. DeWALT 20V MAX ATOMIC Impact Driver Tackle screws and fasteners with ease Credit: DeWALT While there are several other DeWALT tools you'll love using around the house, one that's absolutely tiny yet delivers big results is the ATOMIC Impact Driver. This is one of those tools that more people should own. An Impact Driver is designed for one thing: driving fasteners like screws and bolts. It does so faster and more easily than a drill, with less fuss, less time, and fewer stripped screws. Impact drivers are great, and DeWALT's ATOMIC model is among the smallest on the market. Again, as an ATOMIC model, this thing is tiny while still delivering 1825 in-lbs of torque and 3-speed modes. Better yet, this model is almost always on sale. So, while it's regularly over $200, you can often find it bundled with a battery, charger, and case, all for $150 at Home Depot. You'll use this tool a ton. DeWALT 20V Max ATOMIC Impact Driver Whenever you're driving screws and other fasteners, you'll want the power and versatility of the ATOMIC Impact Driver from DeWALT. Small tools that'll make the job easier than ever You don't have to buy the biggest, strongest, or most expensive tool to finish a job. And that's especially true for DIYers, homeowners, or for small tasks around the house. With that in mind, everything above will do the job more easily and for less money than the bigger variants. DeWALT has a large and growing line of ATOMIC tools you'll love to use around the house, not to mention other lines that come in compact versions. So, grab one of the tools above and be ready for your next project or repair.
