Looking to build up your tool set on a budget? We’ve got great news! There are all kinds of great early Prime Day deals on Amazon from brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, Craftsman and more right now. Prime Day officially starts on July 16, but these deals can already save shoppers up to 50% off, so there’s no reason to wait if you’re chomping at the bit for some new toys.
Often, during big Prime events, one of the most sought-after deal categories is power tools. It makes sense; tools are expensive, and if you know you can get that new drill or jigsaw at a discount, why buy it at full price? While these deals are focused on tools only, we’ll also be covering all kinds of Prime Day deals on things like automotive accessories, generators, TVs and much, much more throughout the event so if you’re interested in keeping up with our coverage, be sure to check out this page for all of our Prime Day updates. Otherwise, enjoy the Prime Day tool deals just below.
Prime Day deals on DeWalt Tools
- DeWalt 20V MAX XR Jig Saw – $124.99 (48% off)
- The jigsaw is the unsung hero of DIY work. While it’s probably not the most beginner-friendly tool in the world, with a bit of care and planning it can become indispensable for projects in the garage or around the house. This one features a brushless motor, built-in LED, variable speed trigger, lever-action keyless blade changes, an integrated dust blower and more.
- DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Drill / Driver Kit – $99 (45% off)
- A good drill is essential to any tool set. This one is a great choice thanks to its lightweight design and multiple speed settings. Not only will you get the drill, a battery charger and a contractor bag with your purchase, you’ll also get two 20V MAX batteries, which can be used with any of your 20V MAX tools.
- DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Impact Driver Kit – $98.99 (41% off)
- If you’ve already got a good drill (or 3) and are looking for a good impact driver instead, this is the deal you’re looking for. It’s nearly identical to the one above, but instead of a drill, it gets you a 20V MAX brushless impact driver with a 1/4-inch hex chuck, 1,500 in-lbs of torque and a built-in LED light to boot. This bundle includes a battery charger, one 20V MAX battery and a contractor bag.
- DeWalt Screwdriver Bit Set – $26.94 (33% off)
- What good is a drill without bits? Not very. These screw bits can make your life a whole lot easier when trying to quickly add or remove screws from a project. This set contains 40 pieces with a sturdy container that latches closed and it’s 33% off right now.
Prime Day deals on Milwaukee Tools
- Milwaukee M18 18V Cordless Combo Kit – Drill / Hackzall/ Hex Impact Driver/ M18 Led Work Light – $349 (30% off)
- This Milwaukee M18 combo kit includes everything you could ever want for a bit of a power tool starter pack. Not only does it get you a brushed drill driver, 1/4-inch impact driver and a hackzall reciprocating saw to get you started, but you’ll also get an LED worklight, one M18 CP battery, one M18 XC battery, a multi-voltage charger and a contractor bag to carry it all in. Keep in mind, although it comes with 2 different batteries, according to Milwaukee, “all M18 batteries fit M18 tools.”
- Milwaukee M12 Drill/Impact Combo Kit – $121.88 (12% off)
- This M12 combo kit is a bit less robust than the one above, but it’ll still get you a shiny new 3/8-inch drill/driver and a 1/4-inch hex impact driver along with 2 M12 batteries (one for each tool) a battery charger and a contractor bag. Keep in mind, while the M12 (12-volt) batteries do offer a bit less power than the M18 line of Milwaukee tools, they’ll still provide around 275 in-lbs of torque to both the drill and the impact driver. In addition, the drill hits 0-400/0-1,500 RPM and the impact driver will get you 0-2,500 RPM.
- Milwaukee 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/4” Hex Impact Driver (Bare Tool) – $109 (32% off)
- If you’re just in the market for an impact driver, this is the deal for you. This 18V impact driver is part of Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel line, the company’s top-of-the-line sub-brand, which just like the regular old M18 line will run on any M18 battery from Milkwaukee. The big benefit here is that it features a brushless motor, which should provide better trigger control, lots of power, lots of runtime and more durability. Keep in mind that this tool doesn’t come with any batteries, so you’ll have to buy those (and a charger, if you need one) separately.
- Milwaukee M18 Fuel D-Handle Jig Saw (Bare Tool) – $127 (49% off)
- Another tool from the M18 Fuel line, this jig saw is an even better deal at nearly half-off. “The Powerstate Brushless Motor helps increase SPM and the power to cut hard materials, including hardwoods and metals.” Keep in mind that like the deal above, while this tool will work with any Milwaukee M18 battery, it doesn’t come with one, so you’ll need to purchase that separately.
Prime Day deals on Makita Tools
- Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 6-1/2″ Circular Saw – $100 (52% off)
- This Makita circular saw provides up to 3,700 RPM that makes quick work of wood. It has a maximum bevel cutting capacity of 50 degrees, weighs just 7.3 lbs (with battery) and has a 6 1/2 inch blade. Keep in mind, this tool does not come with a battery, you’ll have to get one of those separately.
- Makita XRJ04Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Recipro Saw, Tool Only – $104.50 (50% off)
- Another option if you’re looking for a saw, this recipro saw delivers up to 2,800 strokes per minute with a 1 1/4-inch stroke length. It’s built to allow blade changes without the need for additional tools and also features a variable speed trigger.

- Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill, Tool Only – $76.41 (58% off)
- This Makita drill deal will get you a tool that delivers 480 in-lbs or torque for under 80 bucks.
