Top Prime Day Picks
BOSCH Single-Bevel Slide Miter Saw
One of my absolute favorite tools is my Bosch Miter Saw—the most precise miter saw I’ve ever tested. One thing I love is this saw’s glider system, which allows it to be set flat against the wall and still make cuts up to 14 inches deep. Another great thing about this tool is that the bevel can adjust both left and right for added flexibility.
Metabo HPT 10-Inch Single Bevel Miter Saw
Metabo HPT 12-Inch Double Bevel Miter Saw
This version is a step up from the 10-inch model and is ideal for serious woodworking projects. The Metabo 12-inch saw can adjust up to 45 degrees to both the left and the right. I love this saw’s laser-marking system that helps increase the accuracy of your cuts, as well as its tall sliding fences for cutting larger materials.
DEWALT Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Kit
This drill and driver set from DeWalt is among the most-used tools in my shop, and it has held up to continuous use without breaking down. This set, which is over 40% off for Prime Day, is perfect for beginners and experienced DIYers alike. Both tools have a compact, light-weight design and LED lights to help you work in dark areas.
DEWALT 20V MAX XR Jigsaw
A jigsaw is a must-have for anyone starting their tool collection. This DeWalt jigsaw, which is currently 44% off for Prime Day, is the perfect choice for anyone who already uses DeWalt tools — no need to get new batteries. It features a variable speed trigger that’s user-friendly for beginners, and I love its keyless blade clamp that allows for quick blade changes.
DEWALT 20V MAX Orbital Sander
The final tool I recommend adding to your toolkit is a high-quality sander. This can make any DIY project look professional — from refinishing furniture to prepping cabinets for paint. This model from DeWalt is on sale for 50% off on Prime Day and features a textured grip that reduces hand and wrist fatigue, and, like the other DeWalt tools in this review, it’s compatible with the DeWalt 20-volt battery system.
