UPDATE: The DeWalt deal is up to $202, which is still a solid deal, but not as cheap as the $169 price that happened during Prime Day.

DEWALT Mechanics Tools Kit and Socket Set, 142-Piece, 1/4 & 3/8″ Drive, MM/SAE (DWMT73802) $103 (was $155)

CRAFTSMAN Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4 and 3/8 Inch Drive, 189 Piece (CMMT12134) $189 (was $289)

WORKPRO 450-Piece Drive Socket Set 1/2″ 1/4″ 3/8″, CR-V Metric and Imperial with Quick-Release Ratchet Wrench, Spanners, Bits Set, Mechanics Tool for Car Repair $220 (was $299)

Every year, DeWalt drops some of its best tool deals on Amazon Prime Day (aka Amazon Prime Big Deal Days). And October 2024 has proven that it’s no exception. While a ton of DeWalt deals are happening during the sale, we’re particularly impressed with this massive Mechanics Tool Set, which is down to just $169. The previous low price this year was $192, and it’s been over $200 since the beginning of summer. This is a perfect gift, even though we would have liked if it came with a couple extra 10mm sockets (if you know, you know).

DeWalt

You don’t actually need to be a mechanic to use and appreciate this massive tool collection. A sturdy carrying case contains full 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ ratchet sets. You also get extensions, combination wrenches, and Allen keys. It covers both standard and metric, so there’s basically nothing you can’t tighten or loosen when you add a little elbow grease.

Executive editor, gear and reviews

Stan Horaczek is the executive gear editor at Popular Science. He oversees a team of gear-obsessed writers and editors dedicated to finding and featuring the newest, best, and most innovative gadgets on the market and beyond. He lives in upstate New York with his family, a three-legged dog, and a truly unreasonable collection of hundreds of vintage film cameras and lenses.

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
