Best Tool Deals of the Week: 14 Standout Picks for the Shop and Yard

Introduction

Spring has quietly turned into deal season, and this week’s lineup is one of the strongest we have seen in a while. There are genuine price drops on big-ticket workshop machines, sensible bargains on small accessories, and a few oddball picks that punch well above their price.

We have sorted through the noise and pulled out the fourteen items that we think are actually worth a click. Every pick below solves a real problem, and none of them are filler. If you have been waiting for a price drop on a major tool, at least one of these is probably on your list.

Automotive and Diagnostic Deals: XTool D7

The XTool D7 bidirectional scan tool is the headline deal of the week. Bidirectional is the key word here: a basic code reader can read and clear codes, but real diagnostics require a back-and-forth conversation with the vehicle, and that is exactly what this tool provides. It is updated for 2024 and comes with the case and everything included.

The pricing is where this gets interesting. It is currently down from $419 to $325, and a discount code knocks another 10% off, bringing a bidirectional tool with full kit into sub-$300 territory. For anyone serious about working on their own vehicles, this is the one to grab.

Woodworking Picks

This is the strongest category this week, with three genuinely notable Bosch deals. If you have been waiting to upgrade your shop setup, this is the week to do it.

Bosch Fixed-Base and Plunge Router Combo Kit

The Bosch combo kit gives you both a fixed base and a plunge base for $179. With Porter Cable no longer in the router game, Bosch sits at the top of this category, and this combo is a straightforward way to own both bases without buying two separate tools. For a router that will see years of use, the price is easy to justify.

Bosch Glide 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw

The Bosch Glide 10-inch dual bevel sliding miter saw is our top pick of the entire week. The 15 amp saw features zero rear clearance, so it sits flush against a wall or workbench instead of sticking out and eating floor space, and the glide mechanism on the back replaces the traditional rails.

For most people, the 10-inch is the more usable size unless you regularly cut trim, mortises, or crown molding in bulk, since a dual pass on the 10-inch handles most jobs. It normally runs $629, is currently $589, and there is a $150 off coupon stacked on top, making this the cheapest price we have ever seen on this saw. If it has been on your wishlist, jump on it.

That price makes this one of the best value moments in miter saws this year. DeWalt fans have their favorites, but for a shop-installed saw, this is the one to get.

Bosch Gravity-Rise Portable Table Saw Stand

The Bosch gravity-rise stand is, frankly, the Cadillac of portable table saw stands. Hit the button and the stand pops up on its own, ready for work. At 75% off and coming in at $389, this is an exceptional price on a stand that normally costs far more. As a bonus, you can rest a sheet of plywood across it and you effectively have a portable work surface.

Shop and Storage Deals

Not every upgrade needs to be a big machine. These picks make daily shop work easier, safer, or simply better organized.

Costco 4-in-1 Folding Hand Truck

The Costco 4-in-1 folding hand truck is a transformer of a cart that converts between carrying configurations, and at $160, down from $210, it is worth the money. Back injuries from lifting are no joke, and recovery is rarely as clean as people hope. This costs a lot less than a visit to the emergency room and makes hauling gear dramatically easier.

Swan Lake 232-Piece Screwdriver Bit Set

The Swan Lake 232-piece ultimate screwdriver bit set covers an enormous range: standard bits, security bits, adapters, extensions, a flex extension, and a compact driver, all in a tidy green case. It lists at $27, and a 20% off coupon stacks on top of that. As an all-in-one bit solution for a drawer or a job bag, it is hard to beat at this price.

Weightley DeWalt-Compatible 6Ah Batteries (2-Pack)

The Weightley two-pack of 6Ah replacement batteries compatible with DeWalt tools costs $51, roughly $26 per battery. The important caveat: do not use these on your high-end DeWalt tools. Premium tools have smart chips that communicate with genuine batteries to manage power delivery, and third-party batteries cannot replicate that conversation.

On secondary and tertiary tools, though, such as a leaf blower or a brushed tool, they make perfectly good backups. Both USB-A and USB-C ports are built into the front of the pack, which adds handy charging flexibility.

Pluto 12V Cordless Ratchet

The Pluto 12V cordless ratchet competes at the same price point as other budget ratchets but throws in the batteries, which changes the math considerably. It is not high power and it is not high speed, but it is small, compact, and a good fit if you do not want to buy into a full-size battery platform. At $50, it is worth trying, and feedback from buyers has been consistently positive.

DeWalt Drill-Powered Metal Shear

The DeWalt metal shear attachment turns any drill into a metal shear for under $50. If you have been putting off sheet metal cutting because a dedicated shear is expensive, or because grinding sheet metal is miserable and risky, this is a much better route. It is one of those attachments that earns its spot in the drawer fast.

Gorilla Cart

The Gorilla Cart keeps coming up as a favorite, and this week it is $169, down from $229. For hauling dirt, mulch, tools, or firewood around a property, it takes the strain off your back and handles terrain a wheelbarrow struggles with. At this price it is a genuinely great deal on a genuinely great tool.

Outdoor Power Equipment

Yard work gets much easier when the right tool shows up at the right price, and two cordless picks stand out this week.

Greenworks 40V 8-Inch Pole Saw

The Greenworks 40V 8-inch pole saw comes with a 2Ah battery, and if you have never used a cordless pole saw, you are missing out. For trimming branches and cutting small firewood, it is dramatically easier and safer than climbing a ladder with a chainsaw. Greenworks remains our favorite mid-tier value brand in outdoor power equipment, and this tool fits that reputation perfectly.

Ego ST1521S 15-Inch String Trimmer

The Ego ST1521S is the top of the line in string trimmers: a 15-inch cutting swath, Powerload head, carbon fiber shaft, plus a 2.5Ah battery and charger included. At $217.99 with 13% off, you are paying for the premium build, but the included battery and charger soften the entry cost of the Ego platform. If you are going to trim regularly for years, this is the one.

The carbon fiber shaft and Powerload system are what separate this trimmer from budget options, and both make a noticeable difference in daily use.

Family and Everyday Picks

Two picks this week are less about the workshop and more about everyday convenience, and both are easy to recommend.

Vasti Mini Labrador Pocket Knife

The Vasti Mini Labrador pocket knife, available in silver and black Lab finishes, is a small gentleman-style folder at $69 with a 15% off coupon. The pocket clip is overbuilt in the best way, the finger index lets you pop it open one-handed without looking, and the blade comes wickedly sharp. Each knife ships in a bright orange interior case with a cleaning cloth, so you can actually see what is inside. The silver finish is easier to spot if you set it down.

Craftsman V20 Cordless Pressure Washer

The Craftsman V20 cordless pressure washer is on sale at Ace for $300, down from $550, delivering 1.25 GPM of cleaning power without a cord or a gas engine. That is a steep discount on a tool that makes quick work of driveways, siding, and outdoor furniture. Just keep in mind that Ace pricing can vary store to store, and the Ace rewards card helps lock in the deals.

Buying Advice

A few guiding principles will help you get the most out of this week’s deals. First, stack savings wherever possible: the Bosch Glide coupon, the Swan Lake 20% coupon, and the XTool discount code all stack on top of existing sale prices, and skipping them leaves real money on the table.

Second, be honest about which tier a tool belongs in. Third-party batteries, for example, are fine on low-communication tools like blowers and brushed drills, but keep them away from your premium brushless gear. Third, watch the clock on limited-time deals: some of this week’s prices are running out, so if something matters to you, do not wait a week to decide.

Finally, the best deal is the one that matches a job you actually do. A deeply discounted saw stand only pays off if you own a table saw, and a pole saw only saves you money if you have trees to trim. Match the tool to the task and these prices all make sense.

If you are torn between two picks, start with the one that removes the most friction from your most frequent task. That is usually the purchase you will never regret.

Conclusion

This week’s standouts are clear: the Bosch Glide 10-inch miter saw at its lowest-ever price with a stacked coupon, the XTool D7 dipping under $300 for serious home diagnostics, and the Bosch gravity-rise stand at 75% off for shop builders. Around those three, the hand truck, bit sets, pole saw, and trimmer round out a week with something for nearly every kind of DIYer. Move fast on the countdown deals, stack every coupon you can, and enjoy the savings.
