If you’re interested in expanding your DIY tool kit or building a new one, a good set of cordless tools is essential. The DeWalt cordless tools I use at work are durable and the batteries last hours on a single charge, even after years of use. Here are some deals on DeWalt tools at Home Depot in the run-up to Memorial Day that can save you some money on good quality cordless tools and batteries.
If you’re building a new DeWalt set, buying a tool bundle that comes with the basics (and batteries) can save you some money and set you up for DIY success. Since you’ll need a drill, driver, and cutting tools, a set comes with what you need to get started—and having a couple of batteries means you can have one on the charger while you’re working so you don’t have to wait for batteries to charge when it’s time to swap them.
The DeWalt 20-volt, 6-tool set comes with an impact driver, a drill, a circular saw, a sawzall, an angle grinder, an oscillating multitool, a 5-amp-hour battery, a 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger. The set is on sale for $499, 45% off its regular price. A drill and driver are the most basic DIY tools, used to drill holes and drive screws and bolts. A circular saw and sawzall will allow you to make cuts in wood and some other materials for making things like shelving or fencing. An angle grinder can be used for grinding off screw and nail tips that poke through, as well as for shaping and finishing surfaces. An oscillating multitool can be used to cut many materials and can be used as a sander and polisher, too.
A DeWalt drill and driver are each on sale for $99
The DeWalt 20-volt compact impact driver and the DeWalt 20-volt drill are both on sale for $99, 45% off their usual price. Each one comes with a 2-amp-hour, 20-volt battery and a charger so they’re ready to use out of the box. If you’re starting a cordless tool set for basic home maintenance, these are good tools to start with because they allow you to drive screws and drill holes for DIY projects like mounting a flat screen TV or swapping out drawer and cabinet hardware.
The DeWalt 20-volt oscillating multitool set is on sale for $119, 54% off its typical price. The set includes the 20-volt oscillating multitool, two multimaterial blades, adapters for blades and sanding, 25 sanding sheets, a 2-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a tool bag. This tool can be used for plunge-cutting drywall and plaster, cutting metal, PVC, and wood, and you can use it to sand in tight corners. I use mine all the time for cutting PVC drain parts and finishing woodworking projects.
The DeWalt 20-volt random orbital sander is on sale for $99, 45% off its regular price. This is a tool-only deal, so you’ll need a DeWalt 20-volt battery and charger to use it. I got an orbital sander as an addition to a cordless set I already own so I could use it for woodworking, and it works really well. If you’re trying to get an even, smooth surface, using an orbital sander is ideal, and having a cordless one allows you to use the tool without the added friction and weight of dragging a cord around.

These DeWalt batteries and chargers are on sale at Home Depot
If you are expanding a DeWalt set or looking to upgrade so you can use multiple tools simultaneously, you might have noticed that cordless tool batteries can be expensive. They’re often the most expensive component for a cordless tool set, and since even the best batteries will wear out after about ten years of use, you’ll eventually need to buy extra batteries for your tool set.
The DeWalt 20-volt battery starter set is on sale for $172, 51% off its usual price. The set comes with a 6-amp-hour battery, a 4-amp-hour battery, and a charger. These larger capacity batteries are especially useful if you’re using your batteries farther from a power source or if you plan to run your tools continuously.
If you just need extra tool batteries, a 2-pack of DeWalt 20-volt, 3-amp-hour batteries is on sale for $99, 50% off its typical price. A 2-pack of DeWalt 20-volt, 5-amp-hour batteries is on sale for $149, 40% off its regular price.
