Amazon
In its annual Prime Day shopping event, Amazon offers some of the top deals on tools of the year. A lot of the deals aren't available elsewhere, and are often offered for a limited period of time. There are some great power tools deals from DeWalt, Makita and other leading brands. The best deals are usually on cordless tools, like drills and Jigsaws. But you can also save on hand tools, such as hammers wrenches, and screwdrivers.
For example, you can save 29 percent on a DeWalt cordless sander that has a great customer review and comes with a number of accessories. The battery has a long life span and the tool is lightweight and compact. It can be used to polish furniture, scrape paint or even remove grout. It's a great addition any home workshop.
You can also save money on DeWalt 20V MAX batteries with a long track record of being tough and light. This two-pack can keep your tool working for hours, and comes with an LED fuel gauge to let you know how much life remains in them.
Another great Amazon bargain is a DeWalt cordless multi-tool, which can slice, chop, sand, polish and trim with the right attachments. It's quiet, powerful and efficient, and can be used to replace standard corded tools. This model is a popular and Prime Day offers 56% off.
You can find great deals on tools at other online retailers, and in-store shops such Lowe's or Acme Tools. Comparing prices between these stores and Amazon's Prime Day sale will save you money.
Compare the quality of the product against the price when you are looking for a deal. Look for a good warranty and avoid purchasing tools from non-authorized sellers or auction sites such as Ebay. This will shield against refurbished or counterfeit tools and ensure that your warranty is valid. If you're unsure whether the seller is an authorized retailer, you can try using a tool such as FakeSpot or ReviewMeta to verify the validity of feedback and reviews.
Other Retailers
While the top home improvement retailers have the highest sales and sales and dollar share but they aren't the only places to find great deals on power tools. Big-box retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot also sell power tools. Online retailers like Amazon sell a range of power tools featuring brands and names as well as generic brands at affordable prices.
The majority of the time, the most lucrative deals on power tools are found during major sales events for the holidays. These include Black Friday in November, Father's Day in June and Labor Day in September. Sales are also common during the summer and spring particularly when retailers are trying to reduce their inventory.
Some retailers, like Lowe's and Home Depot, offer bundle deals on the pro cordless tool brand. Dewalt's 18V and 20V Max combination kit, for instance it is available for less than $500. It includes workshop staples like a drill and circular saw, impact driver and reciprocating saw, as well as a multitool. This combination could save you up to 30% compared to purchasing each tool individually.
The same can be said for bundled tool kits that include a variety of tools from the same manufacturer like Milwaukee and Bosch. A nine-piece set that includes a drill, an impact driver, hammer drill circular saw, oscillating tool, two high-capacity 5.0Ah batteries and a quick charger is available for around $800, which is typically less than the cost of buying the tools individually.
While it is hard to predict which tools will be available for sale it's worth comparing prices at the home improvement stores and online retailers such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Woot. A comparison site such as Google Shopping can also help shoppers keep track of prices and keep tabs on the most competitive offerings.
Another great way to save money on power tools is to purchase second-hand tools that have been returned. While this is not an option for every tool, many high-end tools, such as Dewalt drills can be repaired and sold for less than half the price originally.
