A good set of cordless tools will give your DIY projects polish, save you time, and make your life easier. But quality tools can be expensive. I use Milwaukee 18-volt tools in my personal tool kit and I’ve used them for everything from fixing my bathroom sink to building a deck. The batteries last at least 10 years without needing to be replaced, and the tools are comfortable to grip for long periods of time. There are some good Memorial Day deals at Home Depot on the tools I swear by.

This Milwaukee six-tool bundle is 50% off right now

If you’re starting a cordless tool set from scratch, a bundle will save you money and set you up with all the basics you need. Because these sets usually come with batteries and chargers as well as tools, they’re a good choice to begin a cordless tool set.

The Milwaukee 18-volt, six-tool set is now $499, 50% off its regular price. The bundle comes with a drill, an impact driver, an oscillating multitool, a circular saw, an angle grinder, a work light, two four-amp-hour batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. These tools can be used for basic projects, like hanging shelves, and for more advanced projects like cutting and building your own shelves.

These Milwaukee cutting and shaping tool deals are worth exploring

Most DIY home improvement projects, from installing molding to repairing a deck will involve some cutting. Depending on what the scope of your project is, different types of cutting and shaping tools will be useful for different applications. There are a few good deals on cutting tools that will come in handy if you’re doing any building, patching, or rebuilding.

The 18-volt Milwaukee sawzall is $269, 51% off its usual price. This saw comes with a five-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a stacking case that’s compatible with the Milwaukee system. A sawzall is good for making rough cuts and trimming small to medium branches on trees and shrubs.

The 18-volt Milwaukee oscillating multitool is $119, 40% off its typical price. It comes with a two-amp-hour battery and a charger. This is the most versatile tool out there: It can be used to plunge cut, trim plaster and drywall, cut wood, PVC, metal, and foam, and can be adapted for sanding and buffing. I use my oscillating multitool on nearly every project I work on.

The Milwaukee 18-volt angle grinder is $299, 47% off its regular price. This tool comes with two six-amp-hour batteries and a charger. You can use an angle grinder for cutting metal, grinding welds, polishing metal, cutting off screw and nail tips that poke through, and for cleaning and buffing your surfaces. Some people use angle grinders for cutting tile and removing grout, but if you use yours for this, it’s important to make sure that the tile you’re cutting isn’t made from stone, that your material is wet, and that you wear proper safety gear like safety goggles and a respirator. The dust from masonry and tile can contain silica dust that's quite dangerous to inhale.

This Milwaukee drill and driver are both on sale

A drill and driver are the most basic tools in a cordless set. Both the Milwaukee 18-volt, ½-inch chuck cordless drill and the 18-volt cordless impact driver are $129, 35% off their usual price. These tools will allow you to drive screws and bolts and drill holes for projects like mounting a flat screen TV or swapping out hardware on your cabinets.

These Milwaukee bits and extras are on sale, too

Milwaukee makes a wide range of tools to fit their 18-volt batteries, and one of my favorite surprise tools is on sale right now. There’s also an excellent deal on a hole saw set from Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee 18-volt cordless inflator is $299, 45% off its typical price. This tool comes with two six-amp-hour batteries and a charger. It can be really handy to have in your emergency roadside kit to inflate a tire and you can also use it for rafts or other inflatables. The inflator tool has a pressure gauge, an auto-shut-off feature, and three-foot hose for easy reach.

The Milwaukee eight-piece hole saw kit is $29.97, 40% off its regular price. The set comes with four sizes of hole saw blades, three drill bits, an arbor, and case. Hole saws can be used for cutting larger sized holes for passing wiring through timber, installing some types of door latches and knobs, and for creating cable pass-throughs in desktops.

These DeWalt Tools Are Up to 54% Off During an Early Memorial Day Sale at Home Depot

If you’re interested in expanding your DIY tool kit or building a new one, a good set of cordless tools is essential. The DeWalt cordless tools I use at work are durable and the batteries last hours on a single charge, even after years of use. Here are some deals on DeWalt tools at Home Depot in the run-up to Memorial Day that can save you some money on good quality cordless tools and batteries.

The DeWalt 6-tool set is on sale for $499

If you’re building a new DeWalt set, buying a tool bundle that comes with the basics (and batteries) can save you some money and set you up for DIY success. Since you’ll need a drill, driver, and cutting tools, a set comes with what you need to get started—and having a couple of batteries means you can have one on the charger while you’re working so you don’t have to wait for batteries to charge when it’s time to swap them.

The DeWalt 20-volt, 6-tool set comes with an impact driver, a drill, a circular saw, a sawzall, an angle grinder, an oscillating multitool, a 5-amp-hour battery, a 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger. The set is on sale for $499, 45% off its regular price. A drill and driver are the most basic DIY tools, used to drill holes and drive screws and bolts. A circular saw and sawzall will allow you to make cuts in wood and some other materials for making things like shelving or fencing. An angle grinder can be used for grinding off screw and nail tips that poke through, as well as for shaping and finishing surfaces. An oscillating multitool can be used to cut many materials and can be used as a sander and polisher, too.

A DeWalt drill and driver are each on sale for $99

The DeWalt 20-volt compact impact driver and the DeWalt 20-volt drill are both on sale for $99, 45% off their usual price. Each one comes with a 2-amp-hour, 20-volt battery and a charger so they’re ready to use out of the box. If you’re starting a cordless tool set for basic home maintenance, these are good tools to start with because they allow you to drive screws and drill holes for DIY projects like mounting a flat screen TV or swapping out drawer and cabinet hardware.

These trimming and finishing tools are on sale at Home Depot

The DeWalt 20-volt oscillating multitool set is on sale for $119, 54% off its typical price. The set includes the 20-volt oscillating multitool, two multimaterial blades, adapters for blades and sanding, 25 sanding sheets, a 2-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a tool bag. This tool can be used for plunge-cutting drywall and plaster, cutting metal, PVC, and wood, and you can use it to sand in tight corners. I use mine all the time for cutting PVC drain parts and finishing woodworking projects.

The DeWalt 20-volt random orbital sander is on sale for $99, 45% off its regular price. This is a tool-only deal, so you’ll need a DeWalt 20-volt battery and charger to use it. I got an orbital sander as an addition to a cordless set I already own so I could use it for woodworking, and it works really well. If you’re trying to get an even, smooth surface, using an orbital sander is ideal, and having a cordless one allows you to use the tool without the added friction and weight of dragging a cord around.

These DeWalt batteries and chargers are on sale at Home Depot

If you are expanding a DeWalt set or looking to upgrade so you can use multiple tools simultaneously, you might have noticed that cordless tool batteries can be expensive. They’re often the most expensive component for a cordless tool set, and since even the best batteries will wear out after about ten years of use, you’ll eventually need to buy extra batteries for your tool set. 

The DeWalt 20-volt battery starter set is on sale for $172, 51% off its usual price. The set comes with a 6-amp-hour battery, a 4-amp-hour battery, and a charger. These larger capacity batteries are especially useful if you’re using your batteries farther from a power source or if you plan to run your tools continuously.

If you just need extra tool batteries, a 2-pack of DeWalt 20-volt, 3-amp-hour batteries is on sale for $99, 50% off its typical price. A 2-pack of DeWalt 20-volt, 5-amp-hour batteries is on sale for $149, 40% off its regular price.

Here Are the Best Early Memorial Day Sales so Far

15 May 2026 at 19:00

Prime Day might be just around the corner, but if your shopping list has things like mattresses, outdoor furniture, or home appliances, you might be better off shopping during the Memorial Day sale. Lucky for you, the early sales are in full swing, even though Memorial Day isn't until May 25. These retailers have some of the best early deals so far.

Amazon's Memorial Day Sale has discounts going up to 40% off

Unsurprisingly, Amazon is one of the first retailers to start its Memorial Day sale early. They have many categories on sale, including: home and kitchen, garden and outdoors, home improvement, electronics, and more. Here are some deals that stood out to me:

Wayfair is having deals of up to 70% off

Wayfair, the furniture store that recently opened its doors for customers to physically go to their in-person stores (I went to the Atlanta one, and it was great to try their products in person), is joining the early Memorial Day sale with discounts of up to 70% off on their website. You can shop for living room seating, area rugs, bathroom vanities, mattresses, kitchen and dining furniture, bedroom furniture, outdoor furniture, home appliances, and more. You can receive an extra 10% off if you sign up for their alerts (you should get a pop-up window when you open their website). Here are some deals worth highlighting:

Woot is having a big outdoor lighting sale

Woot is very underrated, in my opinion, as a shopping editor. Many of their deals beat even the lowest prices that Amazon has ever listed them for, and you get free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. Right now, they have a big sale on outdoor lighting, making it a great opportunity to bring that aesthetic look to your front yard, porch, deck, or backyard. Check out their deals and take advantage of them.

Best deals on mattresses, bed frames, and pillows

I am an Airbnb host, so I've had to buy multiple mattresses, bed frames, pillows, etc. I did a lot of research to get quality products, and I tested all of them to make sure my guests will get good sleep. I must've done a great job because all of my guests rave about their quality sleep. Some of these products have big discounts right now for Memorial Day, so take advantage of these tested products that my guests and I have loved so much:

  • Kana Japanese Joinery Bed (Oak), $809.97 (originally $979.98). This has been the easiest bed frame I've ever set up. I didn't need any tools and it took less than five minutes. It also fit perfectly with the Japanese theme I had for that room. The material is of quality, and it looks incredible.

  • Sapira Chill Hybrid Mattress, $1,679 (originally $2,399). I paired the Kana bed frame with this Leesa mattress. It's extremely comfortable and keeps you cool with its cooling top.

  • Helix Midnight Elite, $3,278 (originally $4,370.66). For my own bed, I wanted to splurge and went with this Helix mattress. When I feel recharged every morning, I don't care how much I spent on my mattress. But luckily for you, it's 25% off right now.

  • Dream Max, $1,815 (originally $2,595). Another one of my Airbnb beds has this mattress, and it has my guests' and my own stamp of approval.

  • Eli & Elm Side Sleeper Pillow, $107.99 (originally $134.99). As a side sleeper, I know how crucial it is to have a side-sleeping pillow. This one from Eli & Elm is very comfortable, and I love that I can adjust the firmness of it easily by removing materials from inside the pillow.

These Craftsman Tools Are Up to 56% Off Right Now

DIY home maintenance and repair projects can save you money because you don’t need to hire a pro for every repair or upgrade. From replacing a leaky faucet to adding a knob to your desk drawer, a good set of hand tools is essential for success. Craftsman tools has a good reputation for making quality, long-lasting tools, but if you’re interested in DIY, you might have noticed that these tools can be expensive. If you need to expand your tool set, or if you’re just starting out, these deals on Craftsman tools at Lowe’s will help keep your budget in check.

The best deals on tool sets at Lowe's

Craftsman is known for their mechanic’s tool sets. I remember as an aspiring tinkerer, playing with my dad’s Craftsman ratchet while assisting him with DIY home repairs, and the first set of tools I got as a teenager was a Craftsman wrench set. Here are some deals on Craftsman sets for DIYers of any skill set.

The Craftsman 242-piece mechanic’s tool set is on sale for $99, 56% off its regular price. This set comes with a ¼-inch, a ⅓-inch, and a ½-inch ratchet and includes SAE sockets ranging in size from 5/32-inches to ⅞-inches and metric sockets ranging from 4mm to 21mm. Also included is a set of combination wrenches, extension bits, a driver handle and bits for screws, and a verastack 3-drawer case.

The Craftsman 105-piece mechanic’s tool set is on sale for $69.98, 46% off its usual price. This set comes with a ¼-inch and a ⅜-inch ratchet, metric and SAE sockets, a spark plug socket, a set of allen wrenches, a driver, handles and bits for screws, and a case. This is a decent set for doing basic vehicle maintenance or performing tasks like changing the air filter for your home HVAC.

The Craftsman Overdrive 80-piece mechanic’s tool set is on sale for $79.98, 46% off its typical price. This set includes metric and SAE sized sockets, some socket extenders, a corner adapter for the ratchet, driver bits for screws, and a case. This set is specifically designed for vehicle maintenance and can be used on stubborn, rounded out hardware that’s difficult to remove with lighter weight tools.

The Craftsman 24-piece ratchet set is on sale for $19.98, 33% off its regular price. This set includes one ¼-inch ratchet handle, a set of metric sockets, a set of screw driver bits, an extension bit, and a case. Since many cars use mostly metric hardware, this is a good compact set that will travel well with a larger set, and it can be useful for small maintenance tasks on vehicles and bikes.

Best air compressor deal at Lowe's

A portable air compressor is a convenient tool to have for small woodworking projects and DIY builds. Its smaller size makes it less useful for big jobs like decking or roofing, but I use my Craftsman pancake compressor for applying trim and molding, and it’s a lot more convenient than lugging a bigger one around. An air compressor can also be used to run a paint sprayer or for air-powered cutting and bolting tools.

The Craftsman 6-gallon portable compressor is on sale for $99, 41% off its usual price. It comes with the fitting you need to connect pneumatic air hoses, but you’ll need to buy a hose to use air tools with it.

Finding Studs Used to be Torture Until I Spent $12 on a StudPop

11 May 2026 at 17:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

When it comes to DIY projects, my enthusiasm and willingness to dive in have always compensated for a certain lack of what some would call “skill”—I’m a guy who has to cut twice no matter how many times I measure. Finding studs in the wall is a perfect example: This should be the easiest part of any project, but fancy digital stud finders have always let me down—in fact, the fancier they are, the less useful I find them to be.

That’s why the StudPop is so great. It’s an incredibly simple stud finder—and incredibly cheap. It’s made locating the studs in my walls such a breeze that I’ve tossed those digital stud finders into the trash.

StudPop uses powerful magnets to locate studs

Using expensive, fancy stud finders was always a confusing experience—they always seemed to light up right after I’d swept past a screw, or mysteriously indicated there were no studs in my house at all. The StudPop ditches all the fancy stuff and uses a simple system: A powerful magnet attached to a plastic indicator. I’ve had magnetic stud finders before, but their magnets were usually pretty weak, and they were as frustrating as the fancy electronic finders because they would give a lot of false positives.

In contrast, the StudPop is so powerful, it will stick to the wall when it hits some metal. This makes it easy to identify the studs. You move the StudPop along the wall in a lazy S-shaped pattern until the indicator pops up (you’ll feel it when it hits something—the magnet is pretty strong). Once you have one mark, you move the StudPop down vertically in the same S-shaped motion until you hit a second spot. This is how you know you’ve got a stud instead of a safety plate or a wire—three hits along the same vertical means you’ve got your stud.

The whole process takes about a minute, with (in my experience) zero false positives. The fact that it sticks in place when it hits a nail or screw is awesome, leaving your hands free, and the simple plastic indicator is easy to interpret—it’s either standing up or it’s not. Tools just don’t get any easier than this, and there are no batteries to replace or charge up, no user manual to read, and it’s tiny, so it doesn’t take up precious storage space. I haven’t drilled into an empty space since picking this up.

I Rely on This Portable Power Station During Emergencies, and It's $700 Off Right Now

7 May 2026 at 20:00

I've never really felt the need to own a power station, but when my city got hit with winter storms that took out our power for multiple days, that changed. They're the kind of thing you don't know you need until you need it—so consider learning from my mistake and get one ahead of time. When I finally bought one, I went with the EcoFlow Delta 3 Ultra Plus, which is now $1,499 (originally $2,199) after a 32% discount. The EcoFlow website is also having an up to 45% sale on multiple products right now.

I've only had a brief power outage since I got the Delta 3 Ultra Plus, so I haven't been able to test it to its full potential. However, I've gotten pretty comfortable with it and used it in ways I never thought I would, like being able to run my projector on my deck or backyard for an outdoor movie night. It gives you 3,072Wh of power with an output of 3,600W and a 7,200W peak, meaning it can keep a 120W refrigerator cooling for about 35 hours, according to Mashable's review.

I am impressed by the functionality of the EcoFlow app, too. You get the ability to prioritize which devices receive power the longest, so when battery power is scarce, the essentials will keep running while the other devices shut off. How that might work in the real world: You leave your refrigerator plugged in overnight, along with your phones and a heater. You can prioritize your refrigerator so if the battery runs low during the night, it will shut off power to your phone and heater to keep your fridge running longer. You can also monitor your energy use, and the app will automatically start charging your power station if it detects a storm is coming.

Carrying it around is very easy with the telescoping handle that you can pull out from under it, however, rolling it around anywhere that isn't a flat, smooth surface is difficult.


This Eufy Robot Lawnmower Is 59% Off Right Now

27 April 2026 at 19:30

Robot mowers have improved dramatically over the years and are becoming a staple for the tech-obsessed with sizable yards. Instead of having to drop boundary wires around your property to prevent your robot from cutting a neighbor's yard, newer machines have advancements that allow for boundary setting with cameras and sensors. One of these newer mowers is the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15, and right now it's $949.99 (originally $2,299.99) after a 59% discount. This is the lowest price it has ever been, according to price-tracking tools.

Instead of using an RTK antenna for satellite navigation, the E15 maps your yard using its camera and sensors, so it's a very hands-off setup. The downside is that you can't manually set up or correct your map once it's done. This will mainly be an issue if your map is bigger than 0.2 acres, since you can't tell it which part to map.

The E15 also lets you create zones so you can mow certain sections at specific times. You can also create no-go zones. Eufy has been making robot vacuums for many years, so the navigation tech isn't new, and it's works just as well with robot mowers. The E15 can detect objects and go around them, go over 18-degree slopes, and even has a GPS tracker meant to deter theft. You can read about these features in more detail in ZDNet's review of the E15.

One of the biggest things you need to be aware of about the E15 is that it cannot mow at night. Because it uses its camera and sensors, it needs light to do so. If you need more acreage, the E18 supports a slightly larger range of 0.3 acres.

These Ryobi Tools Are up to 60% Off Right Now

If you’re in the market for tools, you might have noticed that they can be expensive, especially if you don’t have batteries. Here are some deals from Home Depot on Ryobi cordless tools that can help you save some of your DIY budget and get your projects done quickly.

These Ryobi cutting tools are up to 53% off

The Ryobi 18-volt oscillating multitool is on sale for $79, 53% off its usual price. The tool includes a two-amp-hour battery, but no charger—so this is a good deal if you already have one. With the right blades and accessories, this tool can be used for cutting metal, wood, PVC, or drywall. You can also use it for sanding and buffing with the sanding attachment, and it’s really handy for getting into tight corners.

The Ryobi 18-volt, 7 ¼-inch circular saw is currently $139, 40% off its regular price. The tool comes with a high performance two-amp-hour battery but not a charger, so again, you’ll need an 18-volt Ryobi charger to use it. A circular saw can be used either for cross cutting boards or for making long, straight cuts, so it’s useful to have on hand, especially if you don’t have a table saw.

The Ryobi 18-volt 5 ½- inch circular saw is now $89, 50% off its regular price. It comes with a high performance, two-amp-hour battery. You can use this saw for cross cutting or making longer cuts, but the smaller blade does make it a little more difficult to cut a straight line over a longer distance. A smaller, lighter-weight saw is great for making quick cuts, especially if you’re working somewhere that doesn’t have power for a corded chop saw.

This Ryobi sheet sander is 60% off

The Ryobi 18-volt ¼-sheet sander is on sale for $59, 60% off its typical price. It comes with a high performance, two-amp-hour battery, but not a charger, so you’ll need a Ryobi 18-volt charger to use it. This sander is a good tool for removing old paint or smoothing out a rough board, so it can be used for all kinds of DIY home improvement and woodworking projects.

I Painted My Deck With a Push Broom, and I'd Do It Again

20 April 2026 at 18:00

My house has precisely one outdoor area, which makes it precious. It’s the only spot where we can hang out outside without actually leaving. Since I’m a dedicated introvert who enjoys fake conversations with his cats more than real conversations with people, that’s incredibly important. As a result, I put a lot of time into keeping the deck comfortable and in good repair.

A few years ago, I replaced some of the composite decking with new pieces that didn’t quite match the original color, so I painted the decking to keep things uniform. This past winter was pretty rough on the deck, though, which was starting to look a little worn:

The time had obviously come for a fresh paint job. I chose a lighter color this time and went shopping for the tools I’d need. A roller and a brush? Nope. A regular, cheap push broom and a bender pad.

How to paint a deck with a broom and a bender pad

Here’s all I needed to paint my deck: A paint tray, a can of floor and patio paint, a broom, and a bender pad:

My paint tools for this project.

Painting your deck with a push broom is a lot easier than using a paint roller or a brush. A 10-inch push broom pretty generally covers two deck planks, and the bristles work the paint into the crevices much more efficiently than a roller, requiring fewer passes to get good coverage. And a bender pad is just a flexible, handheld tool that slips easily between tight spaces that need to be painted—like the spaces between deck boards.

Using these two unusual tools, I banged out this paint job in about an hour from start to finish. First, I cleaned the deck using a stiff brush to scrape away any dirt that had crusted on it. I scraped any loose paint away and let the deck dry out thoroughly. Once it was dry, I grabbed the broom and got to work. The key is to choose a push broom with flexible bristles—if they’re too stiff, you won’t get good coverage.

I alternated between painting the top of the boards and working on the spaces between with the bender bar. Instead of working a sloppy brush in between the boards, the bender pad smoothly pads the sides of the boards, leaving a clean, near-perfect coat. In retrospect, I should have started off by painting the sides first so I didn’t have to twist myself into pretzels at times because the boards were all wet with paint, but that’s a lesson for another time.

The broom and bender pad combo made painting the deck super easy and fast. If you’ve got a deck you want to paint or stain, forget the rollers and brushes and use a broom and a pad instead. You won’t regret it. Here’s the finished result:

You Should Start Spring Cleaning With This Dyson Cordless Vacuum While It's on Sale for Over $200 Off

18 April 2026 at 15:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Dyson V15 Detect Extra cordless vacuum is on sale for $339.99 on StackSocial, a notable discount from its usual price. This is a refurbished model of Dyson’s top-tier cordless vacuum from a few years ago. It adjusts suction based on what it picks up, shows you what it is collecting on a small LCD screen, and even uses a laser on the cleaner head to highlight dust you would normally miss on hard floors. It sounds like a gimmick until you see how much fine dust shows up under that green light.

In everyday cleaning, the V15 is built for people who want one vacuum to handle everything. The motor is strong and has enough power to pull debris out of carpets and pick up fine dust on hard floors without switching machines or exerting much effort. Plus, its Motorbar head does a good job of handling hair without tangling, which is useful if you have shedding pets or long hair. You also get a long list of tools, including a hair screw tool for upholstery, a crevice tool for tight corners, and a soft dusting brush for more delicate surfaces. It also converts into a handheld in seconds for use on stairs or in car interiors. Battery life can stretch up to an hour, but that depends on how much power you use. If you keep it on higher settings for deep cleaning, you will need to recharge sooner.

It's a Grade-A-rated refurbished unit, which means it'll arrive in practically mint condition but only comes with a 90-day third-party warranty instead of Dyson’s standard coverage. But if you've been eyeing a Dyson and just couldn't justify paying full price, this deal makes it easier to get a high-end vacuum without paying retail.

Why You Should Spray Your Shoes With Permethrin This Summer

10 April 2026 at 21:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

If you’re grossed out by the idea that you might be bitten by a tick this year (chances are good, to be honest), now is the time to get yourself a bottle of permethrin spray. Permethrin-treating your shoes and pants is one of the simplest ways to set up a barrier between hungry ticks and your delicious, blood-filled flesh.

Ticks need to spend time in dirt or leaf litter to avoid drying out, so they hang out close to the ground. They find us by climbing a stalk of grass and reaching out with their little legs when we walk by. (They'll settle for a deer, rabbit, or mouse instead of a person—they're not picky.) Once they find a warm body, they crawl upwards.

So if you want to avoid tick bites, the most important places to protect yourself are roughly from the knees down. You probably only have one or two pairs of shoes that you tend to wear in tall grass (hiking boots, sneakers, maybe work boots), so applying a long-lasting layer of permethrin to your shoes will go a long way toward protecting you all summer.

You can add to that protection by using permethrin on your socks, pants, and other clothing and gear—like tents and backpacks, if you go camping. Bug spray for your skin (containing an effective active ingredient like DEET) is a separate item, but it’s a good defense, too. Bonus: Permethrin and DEET also protect against mosquitoes.

What is permethrin and how does it work?

Permethrin is an insecticide that was originally derived from the chrysanthemum flower, but the stuff you can buy today is a synthetic version. It’s safe for people and pets unless you somehow manage to ingest, inhale, or absorb a large amount of it. Please note that permethrin spray is intended for use on clothing and objects, and not on skin. It can irritate skin, and our skin can actually break down the chemicals in the repellent, rendering it useless.

But on shoes and clothing, permethrin is great. When ticks are exposed to it, even for a very short time, they have difficulty walking and moving, and are probably unable to bite. Lab tests show that ticks, normally good climbers, tend to fall off of permethrin-treated clothing. Mosquitoes, similarly, can be killed or incapacitated by permethrin on clothing.

Permethrin shouldn’t be your only defense against ticks (or mosquitoes); a repellent spray on your skin is an important second layer of protection. But it’s a huge help, especially for those times you’re just stepping out into the backyard, or when you forget the bug spray until you’re already deep in the woods.

How to apply permethrin to your shoes, clothes, and camping gear

One of permethrin’s most convenient features is that it can stick to clothing for weeks or even months, despite multiple washings. You can also buy clothes that are already treated with permethrin; just check camping gear suppliers.

But you can also do it yourself. Buy a bottle of permethrin spray that contains 0.5% permethrin. This is an EPA-registered pesticide, and it will come with detailed instructions on the label. Here are a few options:

Basically, you’ll want to go outdoors (or into a well-ventilated area) and lay your clothing out flat. For shoes, remove the laces and open the shoes up as much as possible. Then spray enough of the permethrin to get the fabric visibly wet, and allow it to fully dry before you wear it. Besides shoes and clothes, you can also treat tents, backpacks, hats, and other items.

Pay attention to how long the protection will last. The label may say something like six weeks or six washings, whichever comes first. Don’t forget to reapply when time is up.

This seven-piece metal outdoor dining table is $192 off

I Used This DIY Kit to Screen In My Deck, and It Was a Brilliant Decision

9 April 2026 at 18:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

My wife and I live in an urban area where outdoor space is at a premium, so I consider our home's second floor roof deck one of its standout features. It’s sunny and relatively private—and, crucially, it’s outdoor space in a city where a Juliet balcony is often the best you can do.

There are two downsides to the space, however. One is that it is plagued by bugs, especially since one of our neighbors began hosting the dreaded spotted lanternfly like they were protecting an endangered species. The other is that our cats love being on the deck, but also love launching themselves over the fence to explore the neighborhood. (Did I mention this deck is on the second floor? You haven’t lived until you’ve hunted down a lost cat across your neighbors' roofs.)

The solution, for us, was to screen in the deck. First, I built a simple frame to extend the railings up a few feet, and created a pergola-like set of rafters going across to support a screen. Here’s what it looked like at that point:

Framing on my deck.

But how to actually enclose it? I could have just stapled screen to the framing, but that would lead to a problem in the winter, when the "roof" would be laden with snow. I’m pretty good with a power drill and some pressure-treated 2x4s, but I don’t think my screen-roof would've held several feet of New Jersey snow, so my screen needed to be easily removable (and replaceable).

The solution was a DIY screen-in kit from Screeneze

After some research, I found the solutions: A screened-in porch kit from Screeneze. It’s a simple concept: You attach an aluminum base to the perimeter of whatever opening you’re screening in, stretch your screen over the base, and lightly hammer a vinyl cap on top to secure the screen in place without staples. When you need to, you can easily pry off the caps with a flathead screwdriver and remove or replace the screen.

Once installed, the base of the kit looks like this:

and the caps look like this:

The aluminum base is easy to cut to size using a hacksaw or metal snippers, and the caps can be cut with a utility knife or even a decent pair of scissors, so you can customize the size of your screened area. They come in four basic colors (bronze, sand, white, and clay).

The installation process was also pretty simple: I measured the perimeter, bought the necessary number of base and caps, and cut my bases to the correct lengths. You don’t have to make them exactly as long as the space you’re screening—you can cut them into smaller, more manageable lengths and attach them end-to-end, making sure you line them up so the caps can go across seams if necessary. This is especially helpful for the caps, as I found trying to hold them in place so I could hammer them home was a challenge, as they are quite bendy. Cutting them into shorter lengths made them a lot easier to work with.

The kit comes with all the self-tapping screws you’ll need, so you can slap the aluminum base up pretty fast. Then you just need some screen—I bought an enormous roll of the stuff from Phifer BetterVue, because it’s proved to be durable, attractive, and easy to work with.

I cut lengths to cover the horizontal openings, and attached the screen to the top base first. That made it easy to go back, stretch the screen down, and attach the bottom and side caps, giving me a nice, tight screen that won’t block the view (or the sun). Next, I cut two large sections of screen to cover half of the “roof,” attached them to the sides using the caps, stretched them to the center, and attached them to the front and back of the deck (it was hard to stretch the top screen tightly, especially because there’s no base or cap running down the center line, so it remains a little loose, but it still does the job.

Here’s what it looks like fully installed:

Screening in the deck made it the ideal outdoor space

So how’d it turn out? Terrific. Screening in the porch means:

  • There are no bugs. Every once in a very long while, a winged insect makes its way into the deck area, but it’s very rare. And I haven’t seen a spotted lanternfly back there in a loooong time (though I still see them everywhere else, because, again, one of the neighbors seems determined to be a refuge for them).

  • Pets can hang out there. I no longer have to worry about cats escaping into the neighborhood, and I don’t have to feel guilty about preventing the furry idiots from enjoying our outdoor space. They can lounge around as much as they like—they enjoy climbing the screen like spidercat, too. Maybe a bit too much.

  • The screen doesn’t block the sun, so it’s still a bright, pleasant place to hang out, grill, or do whatever else.

  • It's easy to remove and reinstall. When the weather turns, I can pry off the caps and roll back the screen in about ten minutes, so I don’t have to worry about snow loads destroying everything. And when the screen gets torn, I just undo that section and pop in a fresh screen, a process that takes five minutes at most.

The Screeneze kit has lasted years, through some pretty gnarly weather, and it’s still in almost-new shape. If you’ve got a deck, pergola, or porch, screening it in can make a more enjoyable and more useful space, and this kit will make doing that a fairly simple job.

Here's What to Expect During Home Depot's 'Spring Black Friday' Sale Starting This Week

7 April 2026 at 20:30

Unlike Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, Home Depot decided not to compete with Amazon during its annual Big Spring Sale; instead, it held off for a couple of weeks, so that sale is now coming up soon. If you still haven't finished your spring shopping, here's another chance to buy key items like power tools, patio furniture, grills, and more, all at a discount.

When will the Home Depot "Spring Black Friday Sale" take place?

Home Depot's "Spring Black Friday Sale" will run for 14 days, starting this Thursday, April 9, and running through Wednesday, April 22. The sale has been going on at the start of spring since the early 2010s.

What can I expect during Home Depot's Spring Black Friday Sale?

Home Depot says they will have deals across key spring categories, including power tools, lawn and garden, patio, grills, and more. Here is what Home Depot has shared so far:

  • Lawn & Garden: Deals on outdoor power equipment, plants, flowers, mulch, weed, and grass killer.

  • Backyard Hosting: Patio furniture, patio dining sets, grills, and composite decking.

  • Pro: Bulk price savings and essentials for the pros, including tools, pipe, water heaters, and paint tools.

  • Home Upgrades: Paint, faucets, flooring, toilets, fans, fencing, cleaning supplies, and appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers.

  • Storage & Organizational Solutions: Tool bags, storage shelves, and storage containers.

  • Top Brands: Nexgrill, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Weber, Trex, Rigid, Traeger, DeWalt, Leviton, GE Appliances, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Vissani, Frigidaire, and StyleWell.

You will be able to shop online and in person. Home Depot will price-match its products to other retailers, so keep an eye out if you find the same product somewhere else. Also, if you're in the U.S. military (active duty, Gold Star family, military reserves, or veteran), you're entitled to a 10% discount (but not for already discounted products).

This Powerful LG 23,500 BTU Smart Air Conditioner Is on Sale for Just $600 Right Now

3 April 2026 at 15:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

Smaller air conditioners struggle to keep up with open layouts, while larger ones can be loud and power-hungry. This LG 23,500 BTU air conditioner strikes the right balance, and it's currently on sale for $599.99 on StackSocial, which is a notable drop for a unit designed to cool spaces up to about 1,400 square feet. That capacity makes it suitable for large living rooms, open studio spaces, or offices where a smaller 8,000- or 12,000-BTU unit would run continuously and struggle to keep up. The design is still recognizably a window air conditioner, but it’s a big one, measuring about 30.7 by 17.7 by 26 inches and weighing 112 pounds, so installation should require two people and a sturdy window frame.

Unlike traditional window units, this smart window AC uses LG’s Dual Inverter compressor, which adjusts its speed based on a room's temperature. In everyday use, that means the air conditioner can maintain a steady temperature rather than blasting cold air in short bursts. It delivers 23,500 BTU of cooling power across four cooling and fan speeds, with an Auto Cool setting that automatically adjusts them. You can also change the airflow direction with four-way adjustable vents, so it isn’t limited to the area directly in front of the unit. There’s also a 3-in-1 mode system: standard cooling for hot days, a fan mode to circulate air without running the compressor, and a dry mode that focuses on pulling moisture out of the air during humid weather. Through the LG ThinQ app, you can change settings remotely from your phone, and the system also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice commands—useful if the AC is installed in a hard-to-reach window or you want to turn it on before walking into the room. That said, one practical detail to check before buying is the power requirement—this model runs on a 230-volt outlet, which not every home window setup already has.

These Greenworks Cordless Tools Are up to 62% Off for Amazon's Big Spring Sale

If you have some spring chores to tackle in your yard, a good set of cordless outdoor tools can save you time—but cordless outdoor tools can also be expensive. Cordless lawn and gardening tools use high-capacity batteries, which can cause a steep increase in price. Amazon has some Big Spring Deals on landscaping tools that can save you up to 62% off on the equipment you need to tackle your spring to-do list.

This 24-volt chainsaw is 35% off

If you need to trim a tree or clean up fallen branches, a chainsaw can speed up the process. Although most battery-operated chainsaws aren’t quite as powerful as traditional gas-powered ones, a good quality battery can give you enough power for most things you would use a chainsaw for in your yard. The Greenworks 24-volt, 10-inch chainsaw is on sale for $97.99, down from 149.99. The saw comes with a 24-volt, two-amp-hour battery and a charger as well.

These 40-volt tool deals are perfect for most yards

Whacking weeds is a big part of keeping your yard look manicured, especially in springtime. Getting a trimmer that lasts long enough to get some work done can be expensive, so a 40-volt, two-amp-hour battery is a good investment to avoid running back to the charger every few minutes.

The Greenworks 40-volt, 12-inch string trimmer and 390 CFM leaf blower combo is on sale for $124.99, down from 189.99. This combo comes with a 40-volt, two-amp-hour battery and a charger. It’s rated to work at maximum capacity for at least an hour and can be used on about a third of an acre per charge.

The Greenworks 40-volt, eight-inch cordless edger is on sale for $190.95, 36% off its regular price. The edger tool comes with a 40-volt, four-amp-hour battery that you’ll be able to use right out of the box. The edger is rated to tackle about one mile of edging and can run for at least an hour before needing a charge.

A spare Greenworks 40-volt, two-amp-hour battery is on sale for $49, 62% off its regular price. If you already have a Greenworks set of 40-volt tools, this battery is compatible with those sets. Having at least two batteries allows you to charge one battery while you’re using the other so you don’t need to wait for a fresh battery. This is a battery-only deal, so you’ll need a Greenworks 40-volt charger to use it.

If you have a larger yard, check out this 60-volt tool set

If you have a larger yard, it might take more than an hour to trim. A 60-volt battery will give you a little more power and run-time so you can get more done between battery swaps. The Greenworks 60-volt yard tool combo set is on sale for $209, 34% off its regular price. It comes with a 13-inch string trimmer, a 540 CFM leaf blower, a 60-volt, four-amp-hour battery, and a charger. The set can run for 90 minutes and the string trimmer can trim about two miles worth of weeds on a single charge.

Some of My Favorite Milwaukee Tools Come With a Free Battery Right Now

26 March 2026 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

One of the most expensive parts of a personal tool kit is the batteries, especially if you want to use multiple tools simultaneously without having to swap the battery each time you change tools. Moving seamlessly between drilling pilot holes and driving screws can save you time on your DIY projects, but the cost of extra batteries can add up. These deals from Home Depot are a good way to save more than 50% on a battery and tool combo if you want to expand your Milwaukee set.

Battery combo

If you use bigger Milwaukee 18-volt tools like a circular saw, or use a Milwaukee inverter in your emergency kit for temporary emergency power, a few extra six-amp-hour batteries are helpful to have around, but the higher capacity batteries can be expensive. The two-pack of 18-volt Milwaukee six-amp-hour batteries is on sale for $299, 32% off its regular price. When you open the link to the two-pack, you'll see a "free gift with purchase" menu to the right, and you can select a third six-amp-hour battery from this menu. Once you add the battery, the discount is applied in your cart for a total savings of 53% off.

Tool combos

I use my Milwaukee 18-volt random orbital sander daily when I’m working on furniture and other projects. Having a cordless sander is more convenient because you don’t have to drag the cord around when you’re working on delicate projects and you can bring it with you wherever you want to work, making it perfect for outdoor woodworking as well. The Milwaukee 18-volt random orbital sander is on sale for $229 and it comes with a free six-amp-hour 18-volt battery when you select it in the "free gift with purchase" menu, saving you about 46% on the bundle. On this bundle, as with the other two tool bundles, you’ll need an 18-volt Milwaukee charger to use the battery.

My Milwaukee oscillating multitool has saved many of my household projects because of its versatility. I used mine when I needed to replace the drain in my 115-year-old Craftsman’s bathroom sink to cut through the plaster and lathe, to cut some PVC components, to trim the drain pipe where it came out from the wall, to trim a patch I installed, and to sand over some places after I patched the wall. The 18-volt Milwaukee oscillating multitool is $249, and right now, it comes with a free 18-volt, six-amp-hour battery when you select it in the "free gift with purchase" menu, saving you around 44% on the set.

I use my 6 ½” Milwaukee circular saw frequently to make quick rip cuts or in places I can’t use a table saw. Battery technology has come a long way since I first started using a cordless circular saw and I had to change out my battery every 20 minutes or so. With larger capacity batteries, you can use your cordless circular saw for several hours before needing to replace the battery, depending on the thickness and density of the material you’re cutting. The Milwaukee 18-volt, 6 ½” cordless circular saw is $229, and it comes with a free six-amp-hour battery when you select it in the "free gift with purchase" menu, saving you about 46% on the combo.
