Prime Day DeWalt Deals: Some of Our Favorite Tools Are Discounted Up to 66%

You don’t need to be a “car guy” to justify keeping a decent mechanic’s tool set around. This DeWalt collection gives you 50 pieces centered around a 72-tooth ratchet, SAE and metric sockets, and a handy assortment of drive bits.What I really like about the ratchet is how it only needs a 5-degree swing to grab the next tooth, which is ideal when you’re using it in a tight space with barely enough room to move your hand. The ratchet and sockets are made from chrome vanadium steel, and everything packs up securely in a compact case. It’s a handy little set for basic automotive work, mower maintenance, and various home repairs.DeWalt’s 35-piece FlexTorq set comes with the screwdriver bits I tend to grab most often, including Phillips, square, and Torx, along with nut drivers, socket adapters, and a handy magnetic screw-lock holder.These bits are impact driver ready, and each has a soft molded coating to absorb some of the wear that the high torque from those tools can impart over time. The bits are machined for a tighter fit and less cam-out.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowSimply put, this is about the most perfect cordless jigsaw I’ve ever used. It’s compact and comfortable in the hand, and its variable-speed trigger gives you tons of control through curved or scrolling cuts in plywood or trim. And while it’s easy enough to overlook, the bright LED light around the blade is extremely helpful, as it actually throws light on the cut line instead of just acting as a small flashlight. Plus, the tool-free blade change is a sweet, easy-to-use feature that eliminates the need to hunt down a wrench every time a blade goes dull.This is a tool I’d put at the top of the list for anyone on the road to building out a basic tool collection. With it, you can easily hang shelves and cabinets, assemble furniture, drill pilot holes, drive deck screws, build a raised garden bed, and install a new lockset. Heck, I even mix paint and grout with mine.One of my favorite features is the anti-rotation system that shuts the tool down if the bit binds hard enough to twist the drill in your hands. And while it’s a great starter drill, it’s also not one you’ll outgrow any time soon. With a two-speed transmission and 1/2-inch metal chuck, you’ll be amazed at the cool things you build with it for years to come.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowIf you’re already invested in DeWalt’s 20V Max platform, extra battery life can change the way you work. A 6Ah pack is really useful on tools like reciprocating and circular saws, grinders, and some outdoor equipment—all of which gobble up power quickly. And with two batteries, you can maintain a steady workflow while another pack is cooling down or charging.Another advantage here is that these batteries work across DeWalt’s huge 20V Max ecosystem. So you’re not actually buying batteries for one specific tool, you’re building a continual power platform for your entire collection.DeWalt’s DCS391B isn’t the newest circular saw in the company’s lineup, but its 6-1/2-inch blade will still cut through 2x lumber in a single pass at 90 degrees. I also like that it’s a blade-left saw, which gives a right-handed person like me a clear view of the blade and cut line while I work. It’s simply a bit more precise whether you're cutting boards for a deck, knocking out that raised garden bed, or ripping through a long length of plywood.Are DeWalt’s newer brushless saws XR saws more powerful? Definitely. But if you’re the type of homeowner who wants a truly capable cordless circular saw without paying top dollar, this thing can handle just about anything Saturday morning throws at it.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThe DCL050 is really just a big cordless flashlight that stands on its own, but that description doesn’t seem to do it justice. It has a pivoting head that lets you aim the light exactly where you need it, as well as two brightness settings up to 1,000 lumens. Set it in the cabinet while you’re working beneath a sink, point it into an electrical panel, check your walls for dings prior to painting, or hang it overhead from your car’s hood latch if you’re pulling the dipstick.I’ve used this cordless work light for everything from dark crawlspaces to navigating the house during a power outage. Once you have one, you seem to find excuses to break it out and use it. And if you already own DeWalt 20V Max batteries, this is definitely one of those “Why didn’t I buy this years ago?” tools.I use my DeWalt oscillating tool so often, I actually have an oversized pouch in my tool belt dedicated to it. These multi-tools excel at the awkward jobs other power tools simply can’t get at. Remove that square of damaged drywall quickly and cleanly. Undercut a door jamb for flooring. Scrape out grout. Cut off a nail head. I’ve even removed damaged oak flooring with mine without tearing apart the entire floor.The DCS356 gives you three speed ranges to work from, a variable-speed trigger, and DeWalt’s tool-free blade change system, which has come in very handy for me when I’m contorted into some miserable attic space and the blade is dull. Best of all, this one is a kit, with a battery and charger included. If you don’t already own an oscillating tool, grab this deal. You might not know exactly what you’ll use it for yet, but trust me, your house will eventually tell you.Paul Russell Smith is a former NYC ironworker turned screenwriter (Grace Point) and home renovation specialist.
