New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
Cordless tool sets can be expensive, but tracking prices and taking advantage of discounts will help you save both now and in the long run. I’ve previously covered the best Prime Day tool deals , but here are my picks for cordless tools that are discounted on Prime Day.
Sales on cordless power tools from DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, and Milwaukee
A cordless drill and driver set is the cornerstone of a home toolbox. These tools can handle simple DIY projects like installing shelves or hanging a TV, but they’re also useful for more complex projects like assembling furniture or repairing fencing. The Dewalt Max 20-Volt Drill and Driver Set is $159, a 39% discount. It includes a drill, driver, two 20-Volt batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. This is the cordless drill and driver set I use at work, and it stands up to heavy use. The batteries can last up to 10 years without replacement, even with daily use.
This refurbished Makita 18V drill/driver kit is now $164.99, a 31% discount off the regular price. The kit includes a drill, impact driver, two 18V 1.5Ah batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. This subcompact drill/driver weighs less than three pounds (1.3 kg), making it ideal for portability. These tools are also smaller than standard drill/drivers, making them ideal for use in tight spaces.
This 18-volt cordless drill from Ryobi costs $45. The kit includes the drill, a 1.5 Ah battery, and a charger. It’s a great kit for beginners; it includes everything you need for simple projects. The battery lasts approximately 1.5 hours with moderate use.
Over the past couple of years, cordless power tools have become lighter and more sophisticated, allowing you to work for hours with corded saws without changing batteries and get the job done without lugging around an extension cord. The Milwaukee 18-volt cordless random orbit sander is $99, a 39% discount. This is the sander I use in my personal tool kit, and it works just as well as the corded version without the need for an outlet or extension cord. It comes with a dust collector and a pair of sanding discs, but you’ll need an 18-volt Milwaukee battery to use it.
The DeWalt 18V jigsaw is priced at $168, a 30% discount off the regular price. This saw is ideal for creating custom shapes and making small, precise cuts. It comes with a starter multi-purpose blade, but you’ll need a DeWalt 18V battery to use it.
The DeWalt 18V Cordless Random Orbit Sander is also on sale for $118.99, a 52% discount off the regular price. This sander is a reliable tool for finishing wood and sanding drywall. It comes with a 2Ah battery, charger, and tool bag, making it a great addition to your toolbox or a great starting point.
The Ryobi 18V 3-inch metal cutting saw is priced at $99.99, a 29% discount off the regular price. This saw is designed for cutting metal, wood, and PVC, making it a versatile addition to your home toolbox. It comes with a 3-inch metal cutting blade, but you’ll need a Ryobi 18V battery pack to use it.
