If you're looking for scores on hand tools, [Amazon](<https://www.amazon.com/?tag=drive09e6-20>) is discounting everything from full mechanic sets to individual attachments during its [Big Deal Days sale](<https://www.amazon.com/?tag=drive09e6-20primebigdealdays/?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=nav_swm_2026_Event_PBDD&pf_rd_p=b9dbbdc4-307c-4840-9faa-85de3afb087a&pf_rd_s=nav-sitewide-msg-text&pf_rd_t=4201&pf_rd_i=navbar-4201&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=TEHGGF8WRGZ3RAPCJA3N>) (also known as October Prime Day). Here are the best buys we've seen.

My colleague [Stephanie Cronk](<https://www.bobvila.com/authors/stephanie-cronk/>) at [*Bob Vila*](<https://www.bobvila.com/>) (both our sites report to the same publisher) gathered a thorough list of hand tools on sale right now that I'm re-sharing here.

My favorite is still this [308-piece mechanics tool set](<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7QGW67Y?tag=drive09e6-20>) from Craftsman, which is 38% off right now, saving you more than $100. It's a total score for a complete portable tool kit at about $200.

Looking for [DeWalt power tool deals](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-ultimate-dewalt-tool-sale-list-for-amazon-prime-big-deal-days.md>) or [bargains on Milwaukee products](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/half-price-milwaukee-tools-and-free-batteries-the-home-depot-is-desperate-to-beat-amazon-prime-day-deals.md>)? We have those lists, too!
