Planning some home improvement projects while you're inside in the AC this season? You're probably going to need better tools. That basic screwdriver and leftover hardware from the Amazon furniture you put together last year aren't going to cut it. It's time you get some tools that'll actually help you get the job done.

It's an excellent time to build out your power tool arsenal, as The Home Depot has a wide selection of cordless tools on sale. From drills to sanders to nailers — or a huge kit that includes all of the above — there are plenty of discounted options to choose from. We've rounded up our top picks from three of our favorite brands: DeWalt, Ryobi, and Milwaukee.

Here are some of the best deals on cordless power tools at The Home Depot.

Why we like it

If you're overhauling your entire toolkit, DeWalt's ToughSystem Combo Kit is a worthy upgrade. It includes a hammer drill/driver, impact driver, circular saw, grinder, random orbital sander, oscillating multi-tool, two batteries, a charger, and a TouchSystem rolling storage box. It would cost you over $1,500 to purchase each of these tools separately, but this deal brings the total to only $549. Whether you're a pro or a home DIY beginner, this kit is built for flexibility across projects and materials, as well as efficiency and performance. DeWalt tools also come with a three-year warranty.
