If you have DIY projects or home maintenance chores to tackle, a good quality set of cordless tools is essential. If you’re looking for cordless tools, buying some with a battery set that is durable and also is compatible with a wide range of tools will set you up for success. The most popular brands of tools can be expensive, though. Which makes Home Depot’s 4th of July sale especially welcome—there are several good deals on quality cordless tools.
Getting a cordless tool set as a bundle can be a good way to save some money if you’re just building your home DIY kit because they usually come with batteries and a charger. It’s a simple way to get the basic tools you need for DIY projects as well as a few extras.
The Milwaukee 18-volt, 6-tool combo set is on sale for $449, 55% off its regular price. This set comes with a drill, an impact driver, an oscillating multitool, an angle grinder, a circular saw, a work light, two 4-amp-hour batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. This set includes the basic drill and driver you need for drilling holes and driving screws and fasteners as well as the versatile oscillating multitool that can be used for trimming and plunge-cutting a wide variety of materials. The circular saw included in this kit can be used for making cross-cuts and longer cuts in lumber for projects like shelving. An angle grinder can be used for cutting metal or grinding off the tips of screws that poke through the back side of your work. These are the tools I use in my personal set and I’ve had many of my batteries and tools for more than a decade without needing to replace them.
The DeWalt 20-volt 8-tool combo set is on sale for $549, 39% off its usual price. This set comes with a drill, an impact driver, an oscillating multitool, an angle grinder, a random orbital sander, a 2-amp-hour battery, a 5-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a rolling tool box. This is a good starter set because it comes with batteries and all the cordless tools you’ll need for most DIY projects. These are the tools that I use in my professional shop and they hold up to daily use for years without needing to be replaced.
The DeWalt drill and driver starter set is on sale for $169, 32% off its typical price. This set comes with a drill, an impact driver, two 2-amp-hour batteries, a charger, and a carrying case. This is a good basic beginner set that will allow you to do DIY projects like mounting a flatscreen TV or changing hardware on cabinets and drawers.
If you have a particular tool you need for a project, or you want to expand an existing tool set, standalone tools are a good choice.
What do you think so far?
The Ryobi 18-volt, 18-gauge brad nailer is on sale for $199, 50% off its regular price. This tool comes with two 4-amp-hour batteries, a 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger. A brad nailer can be used for applying trim or molding, and since this one comes with three batteries, it’s a good deal for an expanding tool set.
The Milwaukee 18-volt impact driver is on sale for $129, 35% off its usual price. This driver comes with a 2-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a tool bag. If you’re beginning a tool set, an impact driver is probably the second tool to get after a drill so you can drive screws and bolts without swapping bits, and you can tackle tougher material like dense lumber without needing to apply as much force.
The Milwaukee 18-volt oscillating multitool is on sale for $119, 40% off its typical price. This tool comes with a 2-amp-hour battery and a charger. An oscillating multitool is versatile because you can swap out blades to cut wood, drywall, plaster, metal, or PVC. It also has attachments that let you add ending and finishing accessories to it to get into smaller, harder to reach spots.
