Ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day 2026 (Big Deal Days), Lifehacker has rounded up discounted tools including a DeWalt oscillating multitool at 47% off and a Craftsman 10-piece set at $14.99. Discounts of 20-66% cover tool sets, saws, and accessories; several deals are tool-only and require separate batteries.
Amazon’s October Prime Day 2026 sale begins Tuesday, October 6 at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET, and a deal roundup published by Lifehacker on September 25, 2026, highlights discounts of 20% to 66% on tools from DeWalt, Craftsman, Husqvarna, Bosch and Milwaukee. The list targets DIY shoppers preparing for fall projects, with confirmed price cuts on tool sets, saws, and drill bits and accessories — and if you’re building out a workshop, our roundup of the best woodworking tool deals for 2026 is worth a look. The sale lasts two days and requires an Amazon Prime membership.
Among tool sets, the DeWalt 20-volt oscillating multitool set is listed at $157, 47% off its regular price. According to Lifehacker, the set includes the multitool, a 2-amp-hour battery, a charger, three starter blades, a sanding attachment and sandpaper. The tool can cut metal, wood, plaster, drywall, PVC and tile, and can also be used for sanding and polishing.
The DeWalt 192-piece mechanic’s tool set is listed at $169.94, 41% off, and includes ½-inch, ⅜-inch and ¼-inch ratchets, SAE and metric sockets, spark plug sockets, driver bits, hex wrenches and adapters. At the entry level, the Craftsman 10-piece mechanics tool set is priced at $14.99, 51% off, with a ⅜-inch ratchet and nine metric sockets — a set Lifehacker describes as suitable for beginner projects and emergency roadside kits.
On the cutting side, the DeWalt 7 ¼-inch cordless compound miter saw is listed at $296.65, 20% off — a tool-only deal requiring a separate 20-volt battery and charger. The Husqvarna 14-inch 225i battery-powered chainsaw is priced at $264.99, 30% off, including battery and charger, and can make up to 190 cuts per charge according to the roundup. The DeWalt 20-volt jig saw is listed at $139.90, 41% off, also as a tool-only purchase.
Accessories round out the list: the DeWalt 35-piece impact bit set at $29.98 (66% off), the Bosch 41-piece drilling and driving combo set at $21.47 (57% off), and the Milwaukee socket adapter set at $8.21 (47% off). Lifehacker notes the Bosch set includes both drill bits and driver tips, making it a starter option for hanging pictures or assembling flat-packed furniture.

Why Tool Shoppers Are Watching This Sale
Quality tools are a major expense for homeowners and DIY hobbyists, and Lifehacker’s author — a home maintenance writer with more than 20 years of carpentry and fabrication experience — frames these discounts as a rare chance to build a durable toolkit without paying full price. The two-day window makes timing important: Prime Day deals expire when the sale ends, and Lifehacker cautions that pricing and availability are subject to change after publication.
For shoppers already invested in a battery platform such as DeWalt’s 20-volt line, the discounted bare tools offer a way to expand a collection cheaply. For beginners, the low-cost entry sets — particularly the $14.99 Craftsman kit — lower the barrier to starting basic home and vehicle maintenance.
How Big Deal Days Fits Amazon’s Sales Calendar
Amazon runs two major Prime-exclusive sale events each year: the main Prime Day in summer and a shorter October event, branded Big Deal Days and commonly called October Prime Day. The October 2026 event begins Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET and runs for two days. The sale is open only to Prime members and covers thousands of discounted products across categories.
The Lifehacker roundup was published roughly ten days before the sale, on September 25, 2026, meaning listed prices reflect pre-sale or early pricing that may shift once the event officially opens.
“If you’ve looked for tools recently, you may have also noticed that getting quality tools that will last can be expensive.”
— Becca Lewis, Lifehacker
Pricing and Stock Caveats Shoppers Should Know
Several details remain in flux. The deals were published before the October 6 start of the sale, so final Prime Day pricing is not yet confirmed — Lifehacker explicitly warns that prices and availability may change. Stock levels during the two-day event are unknown, and it is not clear how long each discount will last once the sale begins.
Shoppers should also verify what is included in each listing: at least two highlighted deals (the DeWalt miter saw and jig saw) are tool-only purchases that do not include a battery or charger, which adds cost for anyone not already on the DeWalt 20-volt platform. The original article was truncated in the source material, so additional deals or FAQ details may exist beyond what is reported here.
Countdown to the October 6 Sale
The sale opens October 6, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET and runs two days. Shoppers can compare the pre-sale prices listed above against live pricing once the event begins, check whether tool-only deals still require separate battery purchases, and confirm Prime membership status in advance. Lifehacker and other deal trackers are expected to publish updated roundups as the sale opens and prices are finalized.
