Getting your tool collection together is essential if you want to succeed with home or automotive repair and DIY jobs. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of types of tools and many of them can be quite expensive. To keep your collection down to an affordable size, you can focus on the most essential tools first. Another great idea is to browse Home Depot tools, including at your local store. Both of these techniques help you figure out what you want and will really use. In both of these cases, however, you can still end up paying a ton of money that you otherwise wouldn’t if you were shopping thriftily.

So, to give you a leg up on ever-changing prices, we endeavored to look out for great power tool deals. We’re sorting by brand, as most power tools today are cordless and use a special brand-associate battery. For example, if you have a Milwaukee M18 battery you can use it with all Milwaukee M18 tools. In this way, sticking to one brand (and battery size) is highly efficient. To use this guide best, start with brands you know and then go from there. We’ll also have battery deals listed, if we find them, so you can get started with a new brand on the cheap.

The 10 best 90s movies ever that you need to stream now
No matter your age in the 90s, you need to see these films and experience the nostalgia
Clueless - Stacey Dash and Alicia Silverstone

The nostalgia of the 90s is so ubiquitous that it's become almost gauche. Endless reboots of popular 90s phenomena and an exhausting cycle of predictable retro fashion have inundated popular culture with an almost frightening lust for millennial childhood. No wonder so many have already moved on to glamorizing the early aughts!

It's a shame that so much 90s ephemera has been poisoned by revisionist sentimentality, considering the actual artistic achievements of that decade were quite formidable. Sure, it's easy to remember the romantic camp of Titanic with fondness — but there were actual astounding works of art being made at that time, too. In fact, 90s classics like The Fifth Element and Silence of the Lambs have already made it onto our lists of best sci-fi movies and best thriller films, respectively.

Ranked: The top antiheroes in TV history
Not quite heroes, not quite villains, these are the characters everyone loves to hate and hates to love
The Sopranos (P621) "Made In America"

Humans are imperfect creatures. We make decisions that aren't always morally right. Sometimes, they're selfish choices, and other times, they're made without any consideration of the consequences down the line. Because of its long-form format, TV is the perfect medium to dissect the blemishes of the human condition. We can really get to know characters and their motivations, and sometimes, we even sympathize with characters who represent values we don't connect with.

Enter antiheroes. These character archetypes were particularly popular in the middle of the 2000s and into the 2010s, and that is credited with creating a Golden Age of Television on cable TV and streaming services. We want to celebrate the importance of the antihero throughout TV history by counting down our 10 favorite good bad guys (or maybe they're bad good guys?).

The aughts mark an era of great art. Indie rock, for example, started to gain momentum in the music realm while movies exploded with the kind of fresh innovation and creativity that can only come from the dawn of a new millennium. There were duds, for sure. Most people just use Snakes on a Plane as anything but a joke, and seemingly interesting releases such as Garden State are boring when rewatched today. And while there were plenty of great action movies, there were some duds as well.
We've had an additional decade to see which movies struck a chord, whether it’s as a result of phenomenal acting, clever editing, or an intoxicating script. The first decade of the 21st century was blessed with many iconic films. Below, we rounded up the best movies of the 2000s to watch. If you are looking for more films to stream from other eras, check out our list of the best Amazon Prime movies or the best movies on Netflix.
