How to select power tool deals on Prime Day

There is one essential question to ask yourself here: Do I want some tools or a lot of tools?

If you just want a single tool, there is only one important thing to keep in mind: The most basic tools often come with their battery, with the drill/driver plus battery and charger bundle being among the best value offerings you can get to get started in the series.

When you buy tools in larger kits, you save money by getting a bundle and will generally always get one or two batteries for that kit. If you’re a regular power tool user that has a large amount of work or hobbies that will require a variety of tools, and you have several missing pieces or want to start fresh, look at kits.

How we chose these power tool Prime Day deals

The power tools above were chosen for their brand recognition, great prices, and giving you some variety in choice. While the second two really aren’t worth a second glance in looking at, you might see “brand recognition” and hesitate. However, with battery-operated power tools, it really does pay to be a brand loyalist. Why? The batteries carry over. For this reason, we focused on Bosch, DeWalt, and Milwaukee (brands we know you love) but also threw in some Black+Decker for the intense affordability at this time. As this article evolves over the course of the sales event, expect a similar philosophy in deals picks to remain.

We’re also not above looking outside of Amazon for good deals. For the first batch of deals, for example, we were able to find the best deals on Milwaukee tools from Home Depot.

This Echo Show bundle includes a Tapo smart color bulb for only $50 — normally $115
Echo Show 5 and TP-Link Tapo smart color bulb bundle Prime Big Deal Days

When it comes to Prime Big Deal Days discounts, some of the best are on Amazon's own products including the Echo devices that are Alexa-enabled. We've found one in particular that's such a good offer we had to share it separately. Of course, we're talking about the bundle that includes the Echo Show 5 and a Tapo smart color bulb for just $50, normally $115. That saves you about $65 or 56% which is fantastic. But also, since the bulb is Alexa-ready, you can install it in a lamp or light fixture and then control it from your new Echo Show using your voice -- after connecting to WiFi, of course. Don't skip this deal if you don't have an Echo in your home yet.

 
Why shop this Echo Show 5 and TP-Link Tapo color bulb bundle?
First, while this bundle's savings are higher in total, you still save about $20 versus buying both items separately even with the current deals. So, you're saving either way with this bundle. What makes it so great is that you can begin using your Echo Show 5 right away to control smart lighting. Otherwise, you'd have to purchase smart bulbs separately and make sure they're compatible with Alexa.

It's like living in the future except we still don't have flying cars.

These Bose headphones are only $199 during Prime Big Deal Days and trust us, you need them this holiday season
Woman wearing Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones around her neck.

There are two big reasons to give into your urge to buy new headphones during Prime Big Deal Days, coming up on October 8 and 9: First, the holidays are rapidly approaching and you need headphones to drown out Mariah Carey's ubiquitous "All I Want For Christmas Is You" that'll be playing around every corner (not to mention your extended family as they inevitably discuss politics). The second reason is that are going to be on sale for $199 — that's a 43% discount from their regular price of $349. We know, cue the Jonah Hill screaming GIF.

Headphones can be deeply personal, and you may be asking yourself, "Are these really the headphones for me?" The answer is yes, and I'm going to tell you why. I wore out my first pair of Bose headphones after years of wear and tear in college, and I thought I'd try a different brand to switch things up. I won't name names, but after several subpar competitors failed my rigorous testing, I can confirm that nothing measured up to the sound quality and comfort of Bose's over-the-ear headphones, and they've only improved over time. (College was… a while ago.)
