The Fourth of July weekend brings many traditions in the U.S., but for those who enjoy DIY home improvement projects, it's a time to take advantage of great sales on power tools and home improvement supplies. Retailers often bank on the holiday to draw in DIY enthusiasts who have hosting and entertaining top of mind, making it one of the best times to look for deals on quality tools.
This year, Home Depot's Fourth of July sale includes big discounts on cordless power tools and batteries, up to 55% off. If you're just starting your DIY tool set or looking to upgrade old or damaged tools, investing in a combo set can save you money when you're just starting out. Choose a tool set with a wide variety of tools compatible with its batteries; that way, you can continue building your set without needing to buy multiple battery systems and chargers.
The DeWalt 20-volt, 6-tool combo set is on sale for $499, 44% off its regular price. It comes with a drill, an impact driver, an angle grinder, a sawzall, a circular saw, an oscillating multitool, a 5-amp-hour battery, a 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger. This is a pretty comprehensive starter set that will allow you to tackle basic DIY projects like hanging shelves, but also allows you to do some woodworking and repair work, like replacing fence boards or decking.
Another option is the DeWalt 20-volt, 6-tool combo set and rolling case, on sale for $549, 39% off its usual price. This set comes with the drill, impact driver, angle grinder, and circular saw, but it has an orbital sander instead of a sawzall. It comes with a 2-amp-hour battery and a 5-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a hard-sided rolling case.
