1. Save $20: The best cordless drill we've tested
A heavy-duty drill is one of those must-have items for any household that will come in handy for a variety of things. Whether you're putting together an Ikea dresser or hanging a new piece of artwork, it's an amazing tool to rely on, time and time again. When we put cordless drills to the test, we chose the Makita FD07R1 Cordless Driver as our top overall pick for its comfortable grip, lightweight feel and efficient brushless motor. We honestly can't say enough good things about it, and now just so happens to be a great time to snag it on sale. Normally retailing for $169.99, this 12-volt model gets slashed to $149.99 in your cart at ToolNut as part of the retailer's $20 off $100 discount on Makita products, which is valid through June 21. Note that inventory may take up to seven days to ship.

2. Buy more, save more: Outdoor equipment from DeWalt, Milwaukee or Makita
No matter the season, yards need to be tended to in order to look their best. From fallen trees in the winter and huge leaf piles in the fall to overgrown weeds in the spring and summer, it can quickly become costly to pay landscapers to keep up with maintenance year-round. If you're looking to take matters into your own hands, we'd recommend scoping out Home Depot's Buy More, Save More event on outdoor power equipment. The home improvement website is offering $50 off two select tools or $100 off three select DeWalt, Milwaukee, or Makita tools through July 5. For instance, by adding the ultra-popular DeWalt Cordless Hedge Trimmer ($129) and this 4.6-star rated DeWalt Cordless Brushless Chainsaw ($149) to your cart, your total will come out to just $228 rather than the full $278 value. For a well-tended yard, it's an investment that'll definitely pay off in the long run.

3. $20 off: Our favorite corded reciprocating saw
If you're planning any woodworking projects this summer, you're going to want an electrical saw that can easily cut through planks and 2x4s. Unlike circular saws, reciprocating saws can cut in curves, making them way more versatile than their rounded counterparts. One option that will give you a ton of power is the Bosch RS428, which nabbed our title for the best corded reciprocating saw out there due to its impressive turning radius, comfortable grip and ability to quickly slice through just about anything. While it normally retails for $159.99, you can currently get it for $139.99 thanks to a $20 off $100 Bosch tools offer at ToolNut that will automatically apply to your order through June 18. That's the lowest price we found for it online; just note that it may take between 15 to 18 days to ship.

4. Save $5: The best electric screwdriver money can buy
As any DIY-er or someone who's set up a bed frame, patio furniture or anything in-between can tell you, screw things in manually can be a real pain. Enter: the electric screwdriver, one of the most widely used items in any power tool family. These nifty gadgets can save you plenty of time and effort, and right now, you can save a nice chunk of change on one of our favorite models. We voted the Milwaukee 2401-22 M12 1/4-inch Hex Kit as the most versatile electric screwdriver you can buy for its adjustable torque, easy handling and rechargeable battery. Usually retailing for $79, you can knock $5 off the price at Northern Tool by clicking the "add keycode" button on the shopping cart page and entering code 271379, which entitles you to $5 off your order of $25 or more. Better yet, free shipping automatically applies to the Milwaukee M12, giving you another opportunity to save.
