DeWalt Tools Under $100

Choosing gifts and stocking stuffers doesn’t need to be difficult when you are shopping for a DIY enthusiast or tool nerd because there are a wide variety of tools with an equally wide price range, so you can find the perfect tool that suits their interests and your budget. However, it’s important to keep in mind that many pros and DIYers tend to stock tools from their favorite brands, so if you have a DeWalt fan in your home, then this list of affordable DeWalt tools is the ideal place to start the search for a gift they will love. 

Pack up and organize tools using this handy tool box which features a segmented upper compartment for small tools, bits, parts, and fasteners, as well as a large open section in the bottom for hand tools or smaller power tools. The tool box comes with durable latches and two carrying handles, with one intended for vertical carry and the other made for horizontal carry. 

What our tester says: “In general, we just like the idea of the TSTAK system, so the fact that it has latches and connects to other boxes is appealing. We also like that the lid has a domed shape inside, which means bulkier items that stick up a bit won’t prevent the box from closing.”—Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer

Wrenches are one of the go-to tools for any home DIYer, so picking up this set of two DeWalt wrenches as a gift or stocking stuffer is a great choice for the tool nerd in your home. The set includes a 6-inch and 10-inch wrench with rubber-dipped handles and a black oxide finish to help protect against corrosion and improve the overall durability and longevity of the tools. 

What our tester says: “Although the adjuster only uses three threads, there’s very little play in the jaws. As a result, both adjustable wrenches fit snugly onto bolt heads with minimal slipping or rounding off. We used the 6-inch wrench to work bolts on the supply lines for a faucet under a kitchen sink and were able to get a tight grip on the nut. The large 10-inch wrench fit tightly onto the battery terminals on our Toyota Tundra.”—Tony Carrick, Product Reviews tester and writer

Offering up to 12,000 opm of speed, this sander is a highly reliable option that won’t run out of battery power in the middle of the job thanks to the corded design. The compact, low-profile design makes this sander easy to hold, control, and use over the duration of the project, while the rubberized palm grip reduces vibration and increases user comfort for longer periods of use. 

What our tester says: “For those looking for a random orbit sander with continuous corded power, check out the corded DeWalt Single Speed Random Orbit Sander. The 5-inch sander comes with a detachable dust-collection bag for catching sawdust. It also comes with a soft carrying bag to keep things organized.”—Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer

This set of seven masonry drill bits feature carbide spiral tips that are ideal for drilling through a variety of masonry materials, including travertine, slate, marble, ceramic, or even glass tiles. The set comes with bits ranging in diameter from 3/16-in to ½-inch and lengths that range from 3 inches to 6 inches, making it easy to drill a hole to the ideal size by simply selecting and equipping the correct bit. 

What our tester says: “These proved to be very durable heavy-duty bits. After drilling 10 holes with each, I saw virtually no softening of the blades or dulling. As I drilled an additional 30 holes per bit, I still didn’t notice much slowing down.”—Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

The aluminum construction of this staple and brad tacker gives it a lightweight feel that makes it easy to hold, carry, and control, but the design is highly durable. It is made to fire standard T50 staples and 18-gauge brads, so DIYers get two tools in one for a variety of projects around the home. The stapler.brad tacker even has a built-in view window so users can see when the fasteners are getting low then refill the tool before resuming work.

What our tester says: “This DeWalt packed more punch than any other manual model. When I fired the longest staples the gun holds into construction lumber, it resulted in a near-flush penetration. Also, compared to other options, its build quality really stood out.”—Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer

Support wood, metal, tools, and other items with this adjustable DeWalt sawhorse, which is made of durable metal and plastic, making it capable of supporting up to 2,500 lbs. The rubberized feet help to stabilize the sawhorse so it won’t slide or slip while in use, and the plastic top of each sawhorse has built-in slots for 2x4s and a V-groove that is ideal for handling cylindrical materials, like pipes and tubes.

What our tester says: “We like the independently-adjustable legs that compensate for uneven ground and provide a working height of 32 inches to 39 inches. The relatively lightweight 14-pound sawhorse also folds flat for easy carry and storage. We like this sawhorse for woodworking.”—Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Incredibly useful for staking out areas for excavation, measuring larger plots in the yard, or determining the length for a proposed fence line, this DeWalt reel tape measure features a closed molded plastic case and a partially rubberized grip for increased control and durability. The tang has a fold-out spike made for fitting over a nail or screw head and the fiberglass tape measure blade has a rust-resistant coating that makes it ideal for use outdoors.

What our tester says: “We’re familiar with reel tape measures and DeWalt products, so we had high hopes for this specific tool—and we weren’t disappointed. We were especially impressed when we hooked the tang on a nail, stretched the tape to its maximum length, and it didn’t flip this way and that in the wind like some reel tapes do.”—Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Put this ratcheting T-handle set to work for automotive fixes, bike repairs, RV maintenance, and DIY projects around the home. The universal ratcheting T-handle can be used with the included screwdriver bits and hex bits to quickly and easily tighten or loosen fasteners without needing to constantly remove and reseat the wrench due to the ratcheting design. 

What our tester says: “We like the compact, multipurpose design of this kit. The single handle with interchangeable bits is a tremendous space saver that allows users to easily transport a well-equipped set of comfortable T-handle Allen wrenches in a tool bag.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

This comprehensive bit and nut driver set comes with a wide variety of sizes and bit types. This includes 20 nut driver sizes as well as flathead, Phillips, Torx, hex, and square screwdriver bit types. The bits and nuts all come in a neatly organized carrying case and fit into the included driver with ease. Additionally, the driver handle has a large rubberized grip that makes it both comfortable and easy to grip. 

What our tester says: “The bits are well made and fit snugly into the driver and over the head of the bolt heads I tested them on. Sure, the slight amount of play between the nuts and driver means you lose some torque, but the variety of sizes and portability of this is worth the trade-off.”—Tony Carrick, Product Reviews tester and writer

Tackle woodworking projects,make quick work of tree branches, cut down Christmas trees, and more with this 15-inch hand saw. It has a tough coating to protect the steel blade from corrosion and triple-ground induction-hardened teeth for superior performance and long-lasting durability. With eight teeth per inch and a design that makes it suitable for cutting both on the push stroke and the pull stroke, DIYers won’t be disappointed by the rapid pace with which it cuts and removes material. 

What our tester says: “Based on average stroke count, the DeWalt saw did indeed cut faster than the other panel saws in our test group. It was comfortable to work with, moved smoothly through the wood, and worked well at different angles. It tracked well, easily making nice square cuts, and left fairly clean edges with just a few rough spots.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer
