These Garden Tools Are up to 67% Off During Home Depot’s Independence Day Sale
Whether you’re planting a garden and need watering equipment or need to trim something, a good set of tools can make your outdoor to-do list a breeze. But buying the right tools and equipment for outdoor projects can be expensive. Here are my favorite 4th of July deals from Home Depot on outdoor items to keep your projects on budget.
Trimming and cutting
Trimming branches from exterior walls can extend the life of your siding, limit moisture damage, and make your home more fire-resistant, so pruning and cutting tools are essential for good landscape maintenance. Aside from the practical benefits of trimming your various flora, it can also make everything look a lot prettier.

This Ryobi 18-volt battery kit that comes with a free sawzall is on sale for $99, 65% off the regular price. The battery kit comes with one four-amp-hour battery and one four-amp-hour battery and charger, and you can choose the sawzall as a free tool with this deal. This saw is great for trimming small to medium branches and can also be used for some woodworking projects.

The Milwaukee 12V Cordless Electric Pruning Shears are on sale for $149, 25% off the regular price. (This deal is tool-only, so you’ll need a Milwaukee 12V Battery Pack to use them.) These pruners are great for trimming small, woody branches, and are especially good if you have arthritis or another condition that limits your grip strength, since they allow you to trim by yourself without causing yourself pain.

The Milwaukee 18-volt mini chainsaw/pole saw kit is on sale for $589, 31% off the regular price. The kit includes a quick-release head, a three-foot reach extension, a 10-foot reach saw, an eight-inch mini chainsaw, a six-amp-hour battery, and a charger. This kit will allow you to trim a branch up to 15 inches at 15 to 20 feet off the ground without the need for a ladder. If any of your trees have inaccessible or diseased branches, this tool is invaluable.
Cordless Leaf Blowers
I’m not a huge fan of leaf blowers: They’re noisy, and as a seasonal allergy sufferer, I find they throw too much pollen into the air. However, I can’t deny that they’re useful in some circumstances, including for clearing leaves and grass clippings from sidewalks, preventing slippery spots during rain. If you need a leaf blower, cordless ones are lighter, quieter, and cheaper to run than their gas-powered counterparts.

The Ryobi 18V Battery Starter Kit , which comes with a free Ryobi 18V blower, is on sale for $99, 64% off the regular price. The kit includes a two-amp-hour battery and a four-amp-hour battery, plus a charger, and you can choose a free blower to go with it. This is a great deal for a tool and battery kit, especially if you have other Ryobi 18V tools, since the batteries are interchangeable.

Irrigation equipment
Watering your garden can be more of a hassle if you don’t have the right hoses and attachments. Drip hoses, extensions, and watering timers can be expensive, so finding a good deal can help you grow your garden for less by saving water and saving on the cost of tools.
-

Ryobi Battery Starter Kit
Batteries and chargers can be an expensive component of a cordless outdoor tool kit. Since they last about 10 years before they wear out and they can’t hold a charge for that long, they also need to be replaced periodically.
Ryobi’s 18-volt 3-battery starter kit is on sale for $199, 45% off the regular price. The kit includes 2 x 4 amp-hour batteries, 1 x 2 amp-hour battery, and a charger. You can also add a free tool to this deal, including a blower or saw.
