Worx nitro 18V (20V max) cordless impact drill: Was £175.99, now £136.33, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

This cordless impact drill was named the best for ergonomics in our review of the best cordless drills, so you can be sure those DIY tasks that need doing in the new year will be in good hands. It’s powered by a 20v battery and, according to our tester, “delivers an impressive amount of power for tougher jobs in wood and masonry”. They went on to add that, even with the battery included, the drill weighs just 1.2kg, which “means that it’s good for those jobs that take some time or require a degree of overhead work”.

DeWalt 18V XR brushless cordless impact driver body only: Was £99.98, now £59.98, Toolstation.com

(Screwfix )

There’s a decent £40 off this cordless impact driver body at ToolStation right now, taking its price down to less than £60. The 18V driver is 131mm long, and comes complete with an LED halo light for precision work. The cordless, lightweight appliance doesn’t come with a case, battery or charger but, with this price saving, there should be some shopping budget left.

Featuring a petrol-powered blower as well as a garden vacuum, this handy machine will get your garden in shape in no time. Even better, you can now snag it with £124 off.

Bosch city mower 18-32: Was £349.99, now £279.93, Robertdyas.co.uk

Helping to get your garden off to a good start for 2024, this lawn mower is reduced by a generous £70. With a 30l grass box, Ergoflex handle and cordless manoeuvring, keeping your lawn in line will be an absolute breeze.

Worx WG620E cordless hydroshot portable pressure cleaner: Was £139.99, now £90.99, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

This Worx power washer’s five-in-one nozzle switches between five different levels of intensity, meaning it can tackle the toughest of muck and water your delicate flowers.

With a generous 35 per cent off from Amazon right now, why wait?

DeWalt DWD024K 701W impact hammer drill: Was £119.98, now £95.98, Toolstation.com

(Tool station)

Despite its compact size, this is said to be an extremely powerful and durable drill. Built to be used in small spaces, it promises to be nice and comfortable to use. Unlike similar drills, this one comes with a trigger-sensitive variable speed switch, allowing full control.

Guild dual action car polisher: Was £65, now £42.50, Argos.co.uk

(Argos)

At a third off, this car polisher makes for a great treat for the motorheads out there. Powerful yet controlled this tool can not only polish but also buffer and is great for sanding bodywork. Even better, the random orbit dual action is used to ensure you don’t damage your car’s paintwork but still get it sparkling.

Bosch professional 12V system GSB 12V-15 cordless combi drill: Was £108.60, now £44.25, Amazon.co.uk

(Bosch)

This model was awarded four out of five stars in our round-up of the best cordless drills, with our tester saying it “came into its own for overhead jobs, tight corners, and inside cupboards and drawers, with the LED making sure we had a well-lit working environment”. It’s sold as a bare tool, so you’ll need to buy the rechargeable battery and charger separately. Although we’ve seen the bare model for sale at around £70 elsewhere, meaning Amazon’s discount isn’t as generous as it first seems, at less than £45, this is still a steal.

Guild 218 piece mini tool kit: Was £42, now £31.50, Argos.co.uk

(Argos)

Designed for cutting, sanding, grinding and polishing both wood and metal, this compact, multi-tasking tool is the solution to multiple DIY needs. For example, you can use it to cut decking and sand it down afterwards. Weighing just 0.6kg, it has an ergonomic shaped handle so it’s comfortable to use for big jobs as well as for little fixes around the house.
