Amazon may not be the first place you look when you're shopping for new tools, but you'd be surprised what the online retailer has in stock. From drills to saws to electric screwdrivers, you can shop tons of top-rated tools from major brands like DeWalt, Makita and more. And with a little digging, you can often find them available for even less compared to competing retailers -- especially with the early October Prime Day deals heating up right now. Below, we've rounded up several popular tools that are currently selling for less at Amazon than what you'd pay at Home Depot, saving you up to $250.

While you're still getting all of these tools for less than the usual price, it's important to note that not all of them are currently "on sale." That means that there won't always be a discount listed next to the price. It also means that there's no set expiration for these offers, so they could vanish at any moment. We'd recommend taking advantage of these low prices sooner rather than later if you don't want to miss out.

There are a variety of different tools that you can snag for less right now. A drill and driver are some of the most essential tools in any kit, and right now you can grab this DeWalt 20V Max bundle with two batteries for just $179 at Amazon, which saves you $70 compared to the Home Depot price.

Or grab this DeWalt 20V Max XR angle grinder for $168 at Amazon, which is $31 less than the $199 Home Depot price. And for more precise work, you can grab this 45-piece Dremel rotary tool kit for just $124 at Amazon, which is a slight $5 discount.

The 18-volt cordless Milwaukee multi-tool, which includes a battery and charger, retails at Home Depot for $199 but we spotted in on Amazon for just $127, which represents $72 in savings.

If you need a circular saw, look no further than this deal on the Dewalt 20V MAX circular saw, down to just $129 on Amazon right now. That's $30 less than the regular price, though Home Depot does currently have the same price of $129.

Other great deals we've spotted include a Black and Decker 4V Max cordless electric screwdriver with battery and bit storage, down from $42 to just $30.

Need to replace or upgrade a majority of your power tools? Amazon has a crazy price on this 9-tool set from Dewalt. It includes a compact driver, impact driver, oscillating multi-tool, circular saw, reciprocating saw, grinder and even a rugged bluetooth speaker. This set usually costs $949 but you can pick it up for $699 on Amazon right now. That's a $250 savings.

Why these deals matter

These Amazon "deals" are a great way to upgrade your toolkit without breaking the bank. The online retailer has select drills, saws and more from major brands available for less than you'd pay at Home Depot or another home improvement retailer, which can potentially save you hundreds. And because many these discounts aren't listed as official "deals," they can fly under the radar so you won't find these prices matched elsewhere.
