Stanley pocket screwdriver for only $1.39

Right now on Amazon, you can get a Stanley 4-in-1 pocket screwdriver for just $1.39 -- possibly the lowest price for this driver I've ever seen, and likely a price that won't last long.

The Stanley 66-344 pocket driver is one of the better pocket screwdrivers you'll find. It has magnetic bits, for one thing, which most other pocket drivers lack. You can read a full, in-depth review of this pocket driver here.

Vessel Ball Grip Screwdriver for under $7.00

Some people prefer ball grip screwdrivers to "standard" screwdrivers because of the added palm grip.  If you've never tried one, you should give it a shot.  Right now, Amazon is selling a Vessel ball grip Phillips screwdriver for just $6.83.  This screwdriver used to cost $9.62 on Amazon.  It has good grip, a long shaft, and a magnetic tip that works well for holding onto or picking up small screws.

Amazon Deal of the Day: Porter-Cable Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit

Amazon.com has the Porter-Cable 3-Amp Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit (model# PCE605K52) on sale today for just $74.99 (list price: $279.99).  The kit comes with 52 accessories, plus a 10-foot power cord.

Dremel 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool on sale at Amazon today

Amazon's deal of the day today is the Dremel 8220-1/28 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool, list price $170.52, on sale today only for $74.99.

To compare, the same tool is listed for $94.97 on HomeDepot.com and $99.99 on VMInnovations.com and Lowes.com.  Amazon's sale price is only good through today.

Stanley FatMax T16 multi tool on Amazon

The Stanley FatMax T16 multi tool is virtually the same as the DeWalt MT16 multi tool, with a few cosmetic differences.  The T16 is a decent multi tool (read my review of it here) and it usually sells for close to $20.

It used to be a hard tool to find.  Lowe's sold it, and you couldn't find it too many other places.  Amazon has it listed now, and it's currently being sold for $14.95, which is the lowest price I've seen so far for the T16.  I don't know if this is a promotional price or just the regular price as of right now, but it's a good price for this tool.

8" bench grinder price comparison on Amazon

Allway Tools shockproof screwdriver on sale at Amazon

Good deal on Stanley ratcheting screwdriver on Amazon

The Stanley 66-358 stubby ratcheting driver is a robust little screwdriver.  It's small enough to fit in your pocket, but it has a lot of useful features.  It ratchets, comes with several interchangeable bits, and it's magnetic to attract and hold screws and other fasteners.

Right now on Amazon, this driver is only $4.24, which is a steal for what the driver does.  I think I paid $5.99 for mine when I bought it, which was still a pretty good price.  You can read my full review of this driver here.
