If your gadget situation is currently “one good drill, three mismatched plugs, and a growing feeling of regret,” these CRAFTSMAN offerings are a solid excuse to get organized. There are a few big upgrades here (cordless kits and rolling storage units), as well as cheap but useful stuff (blades, bits, plugs) that make weekend projects go a lot smoother.

Editor’s Picks

This is the “Stop Borrowing Tools and Start Fixing Your Own” package. You get a deep mix of sockets and wrenches (SAE and metric) as well as a drawer setup that keeps small parts from turning into a messy pile. If you’re doing basic car work, bike maintenance, or even just assembling a lot of furniture, a comprehensive kit like this saves time because you have the right size on hand.

The wrench is the fast track to stubborn nuts and bolts that laugh at a regular ratchet. This device runs on the V20 platform and includes a 4Ah battery and charger, so it’s a legitimate starter kit if you don’t already have one in the ecosystem. It’s also the kind of tool you’ll use once, then wonder why you waited.

If your “workshop” is a corner of the garage (or the trunk of your car), rolling storage is the difference between being prepared and digging into a mess. A modular tower like this keeps larger tools separate from smaller parts, and wheels make it realistic to move everything in one trip instead of five. It’s especially useful if you’re juggling between interior projects and exterior repairs.
