If you’re stoically ignoring Prime Day right now but you don’t already possess a power screwdriver, you might want to yourself a favor and buy just one thing during the sale: this DeWalt Cordless model. It’s 17% off, which is nice—but more importantly, it will change your whole approach to home maintenance, because you’ll use it constantly—and as a direct result, you’ll have fewer emergencies. (And if you’ve ever tried to use a screwdriver one-handed while clinging to a ladder, you’ll appreciate a power screwdriver more than life itself.)

What’s also great about this screwdriver, for me, is that it’s USB-charging, so it doesn’t get forgotten in a shed or workroom—it can charge anywhere, so I can keep it handy. I use it at least once a week, if not more often, just to keep things in the house from escalating. A few times I’ve used it just in the last month or so include:

• Tightening two kitchen cabinet hinges that had slowly loosened

• Assembling a plyo box for my wife’s home gym

• Swapping out a light fixture that stopped working

• Firming up a loose towel rack by inserting some anchors and fresh screws

Any time I notice something getting loose or looking a little janky, I can grab this tool and just take care of it.
