It’s official – Amazon Prime Day 2025 will take place from Tuesday July 8th thru Friday July 11th.
They’re promising Prime subscribers “more time to shop millions of deals.”
There are bound to be lots of tool deals worth checking out, so set your calendars for July 8-11, 2025.

In the meantime, Amazon has some tool deals already live.

We went from 2 days of mediocre deals to now 4 days of the same?
Gosh, I’m really looking forward to discounts and savings from leading tool brands such as JiMipop, HiCualyti, UDrillO, MuchTuls4u, BiltTuff, Holitlikapro, Plyaply, and iherduliketuls.
There are sure to be some name-brand tools buried in the mix, such as from Dewalt, Bosch, Craftsman, and maybe some others – if you can find them.
Can you tell that I’ve become disillusioned about Prime Day? I expect there to be some tool deals and others worth looking at, but I doubt there will be a lot to be excited over.

The good news is that other retailers will want in on the consumer shopping action, and so we can probably expect some tools deals at Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Acme Tool.
4 days of deals?
I’ve been spending less and less with Prime Day deals, not because there hasn’t been time to shop everything, but because there are rarely any good deals. You have to sort through all kinds of no-name garbage products to find some gems.
I worry that the deals are going to be spread out, requiring everyone to visit and revisit over the course of 4 days.
2 days were enough.
I’ll still cover the sales and deals, but frankly speaking I’m not expecting much. There are a bunch of tools on sale right now. The critic in me is wondering if we’re going to see all the current deals end on June 30th, after a 4-6 week run, only to be relaunched as exclusive Prime Day deals a few days later.
There are going to be tons of tool deals – I don’t doubt that. But tool deals of the type more discerning users care about? We’ll see.

No need to wait, they have the YUQUESEN 500,000 RPM leaf blower today as a Deal of the Day – https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Cordless-Leaf-Blower-500000RPM-Handheld-Batteries-Lightweight/dp/B0DT6WW9DZ

Strap a few to my Cessna and we are breaking the sound barrier

In your sales link – I spied some wrench sets from Der Erwachte (the awake one??). One might think some Germanic roots here – but the brand is owned by Ningbo Qingfeng Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. They get an “Amazon Choice” label and some good reviews – but I get a chuckle, nonetheless.
Jared
I no longer browse Prime Day deals. If I’m looking for a tool in particular I will check if it’s on sale – but I used to scroll through sales pages in hopes of scoring deals. It’s not worth the time anymore.
fred
I used to try to filter with brands I trusted and look for big % off “deals” – but found that a good % of them were fictitious. The current batch list a Dewalt OMT blade for 63% off – at $7.98 – that would be great – but HD sells the same blade for the same $7.98 without any hype about a special price, Caveat Emptor!
Bonnie
Yep. No need to engage in FOMO, and Amazon is getting worse and worse to boot.
Brad
It seems like prime days is a waste of time unless you’re in the market for (a) Amazon brand products, (b) garbage knockoffs, (c) paying the same price you’d pay any other time for anything decent, or (d) sifting for hours to save 10%.
Nathan
I see what you put up but have to say last 3 years of prime deals were meh to bleh.
Rober
Yeah. The only upside to Prime Days is prompting other sites to possibly offer deals on what I am interested in. But I’m getting less and less willing to wade through all that.
John Blair
I, too, have become disillusioned with Prime Day deals. This year, however, I am wondering if there might actually be some good deals. I know lots of companies brought in lots of inventory due to looming tariffs. So if they have an excess of inventory, we might see some good deals.
But given that so many of the actual name-brand tools on Amazon are fake, it is probably more of a mental exercise than a pull out the credit card event.
S
I would agree with your assessment. I’ll check the deals if I have extra time to burn at the end of the day, but other than that, I don’t/won’t put much effort into it.
It seems very similar anymore to Black Friday deals. Many ‘ deals’ get marked up the week before, to drop back down to it’s standard price. Even on Amazon, many “deals” they tout will be available for that price in a month or two down the road.
Frankly, I got some of the best deals I’ve seen in a long time at the first chinese tariff announcement. It seemed some sellers on Amazon were simply cutting bait and liquidating their inventory. Many weren’t even advertised as a discount, it was just the same product sold at 50-75% discount over other sellers.
And Stuart, while I’m thinking about it, I know YouTube videos aren’t a popular subject, but Smarter Every Day recently posted a lengthy video of them trying to genuinely make a 100% american-sourced product.
With all the talk lately here of many comments wanting American made products, and higher up people demanding the shift of production of all things back into America, the production steps they had to take to achieve that goal(and still fail!) for a single and simple product are very much eye-opening.

Prime day is a farce, 150 no name items for every 1 name brand at a “discount” that is almost negligible. No respect left for Amazon and their horribly unmanaged marketplace full of fake products.
David
Yep. The Amazon Marketplace is a Caveat Emptor extravaganza. There’s just sooo much crap to wade through to find anything that’s a true value.
I know the CEO doesn’t get involved at that level but I swear Amazon overall has become much less “honorable” since Jassy took charge. IMO, it’s just a greedier environment now.
Mike
I tend to screenshot several of the items I want but don’t need and then cross-reference on prime day. I also use some of the price tracking websites if I’m suspicious of the price. Things are rarely a great or amazing deal but I’ve saved $10-20 over the years as a result.
Scotty.
I mostly use Prime Days to stock up on consumables that I would likely buy anyway.
Pablo
“tool brands such as JiMipop, HiCualyti, UDrillO, MuchTuls4u, BiltTuff, Holitlikapro, Plyaply, and iherduliketuls.”.
Had me laughing. I love the baloney trademarks the Chinese sellers come up with (and even register) to sell generic items and not share the Amazon Asin.
Stuart
*Not actual company names, but in the spirit of the actual alphabet soup brands. I had a bit of fun coming up with them. That I was sure no one would be able to tell the difference made me crack up the whole time. =)
David
The only giveaways were the actual hidden meanings and the lack of double consonants: Brrtxur, Znyyry or maybe Oootmmux. Crapforless was probably already taken.
Jason
This would explain why I see prices climbing hour by hour on items in my cart, waiting fir me to get around to them.
Frank D.
Too hard to navigate at times to find something you may be looking for. Have to watch out for fake deals ( bumped msrps to then give fake discounts ).
I have in the past purchased some Bosch accessories, but I’m pretty well stocked up, tool wise and other wise.
So, beyond taking a quick look for maybe something name brand, or some accessory that broke. Won’t spend much time on site.
Mr. C
Not to be a Negative Nancy here, but this is coming from someone who’s just plum done with Amazon.
Bottom line: The risk of counterfeits/commingled-inventory, open-box, and damaged shipments is far too high with Amazon to risk a high-value purchase with them.
I’ve personally had counterfeit text books, memory cards, and toothbrushes from them. Many times my items were damaged beyond belief. And several times I was sold a repackaged return which was clearly missing parts, when I paid top-tier pricing for new.
Can I cut Amazon out of my life entirely? No, I wish I could. Some stuff is ONLY sold through them, not to say a thing about how prevalent AWS is throughout the internet. But as the years go on, I find myself saying “if the Amazon deal is too good to be true, it’s probably the situation. There’s a reason why they can offer stuff so cheaply.”
Also, the Prime price increases with reduction in service (gone is the 2-day guarantee, commercials with video, etc) is just a slap in the face. Look at the economy. My face is red enough from getting slapped multiple times a day. I don’t need any more abuse.
David
“Some stuff is ONLY sold through them”
Absolutely true. I recently searched all around locally to source SS 18g brads, with zero options. I found multiple unknown Chinese packs on Amazon. This happens about one every week or two.
In other cases, the cost difference between an Amazon product and a local retailer is so great it’s all but impossible to justify not buying from Amazon.
Jimmie
The last few years I’ve spent less and less time looking at Prime Day. The categories are overly broad and each one leads to 100 pages of alphabet soup junk. Nobody with a job has time to sift through all that. Last year I think I spent 10 minutes the first evening and decided that I may as well be browsing aliexpress.
Mr. C
This right here. I just quickly browse the deal websites for the “hot” items…and usually shrug at the lack of decent, non-alphabet soup deals.
David
Interesting to see all the frustration and pull-back from Prime Days. I wonder if Amazon is feeling this or if we are just more particular, while most people continue to buy the assorted crap they’re now hawking just because it’s cheap; the “AliExpress” effect.
