The Black +Decker 20V MAX Cordless Drill Combo Kit (BD4KITCDCRL) features a drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and work light. Plus, it comes with two batteries. Right now, it's at an all-time low price.

This cordless Craftsman hedge trimmer is a great option if you already have other Craftsman tools and thus the battery necessary to operate it.

Capable of blowing, vacuuming, and mulching, this powerful Worx machine makes it easy to perform all your leaf management tasks. Currently on sale for $76.50, this is the lowest price we've seen since November 2020.

One of our all-time favorite cordless drills, this compact Bosch drill is perfect for use in tight spaces, and powerful enough to handle a wide range of DIY projects. Right now, it's at the lowest price we've seen in years.  

If you work with electrical or other heat-generating components, consider this thermal imaging camera. Its color screen clearly displays temperature irregularities that can help detect overheating, electrical faults, and air leaks. These cameras are not cheap, making this all-time-low deal especially attractive. 

I've used this exact model with great success in several home renovation projects. It's extremely accurate and comes in really handy for long distances that aren't practical to use a regular tape measure. It's currently at its lowest price since November 2021.

This Worx crown stapler can fire up to 2,000 staples on a single charge, making it a convenient and comfortable alternative to a manual staple gun. It's also designed to accept a wide range of staple sizes, from ¼-in. to 9/16 in. Typically priced between $100 and $120, it's currently on sale at a huge discount.

I've always found Bosch jigsaws and their textured, soft grips to be the most comfortable to control, which is why I was so excited to find this deal. Apart from a brief sale earlier this year, this deal price is significantly lower than it's been in years. 

This multi-functional impact driver kit features both a ¼-in. Hex and ½-in. Square drive chuck, eliminating the need for socket adapters. The variable speed trigger allows you to customize its operation even more, and the 18V motor makes it suitable for heavy-duty use. It's currently at it's lowest price ever. 

This compact Bosch saw uses a unique hinged arm, instead of the bulky rails used by other saws, allowing it to take up much less room on your workbench. Despite the small size, it still features a 10-inch blade, allowing users to perform 5.5-inch vertical cuts. Right now, its at its lowest price in nearly three years.

Although we haven't personally tested this Worx edger, we've had great experiences with their other lawn care products. This corded machine uses a 7.5-inch blade to precisely trim your edges, using a convenient cutting line guide to keep your lines straight. It's currently at its lowest price in nearly 3 years.

How we vet Amazon Prime Early Access Sale tool deals

Tool discounts can be found throughout the year, but they're most prevalent during Black Friday, Father's Day, and Prime Day. We combed through the tool deals of the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, using historical data to ensure that we recommend products whose prices are equal to or better than any previous deals.

What types of tools do homeowners need?

Regardless of your ability or overall DIY needs, there are some tools that every homeowner should have on hand. With only a few essential items, such as a power drill, hammer, tape measure, and screw driver, you'll be prepared to tackle a wide range of light-duty home repair and maintenance tasks. If you'd otherwise hire a handyman, a relatively small investment in your tool collection can quickly pay for itself.

What is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale? 

New in 2022, the Prime Early Access Sale is similar to Prime Day, Amazon's other annual sales event. It spans all Amazon departments, from tools and home improvement to style and beauty, offering deals on thousands of products. Expect to see all-time low prices that rival those found on other deal days, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is available in 15 countries: the US, UK, Turkey, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, France, China, Canada, and Austria. 

What deals are available during the Prime Early Access Sale?

Just like on Prime Day earlier this year, we're seeing a lot of low prices on Amazon devices like Fire TVs and streaming devices, Echo speakers, Kindle e-book readers, Fire tablets, and more. Because this sale is kicking off the 2022 holiday shopping season, we're seeing deals on toys, apparel, and other gift-worthy items as well.

How long do deals last?

Although the Prime Early Access Sale lasts for 48 hours, many deals will sell out quickly. Lightning Deals are limited-inventory, limited-time discounts, kind of like a flash sale. They last until the item sells out, which could be just a few hours.

Do I need a Prime membership? 

Yes, the Prime Early Access Sale is only for Prime members. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel it after the event.
