DeWalt Tool Kits Start Under $50 on Amazon Prime Days This Year
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more › The latest car news, reviews, and features. DeWalt is my power tool brand of preference because its wares typically hit a nice balance between performance and value. Also, I like yellow. You might start liking it too when you see how cheaply Amazon's unloading DeWalt stuff on Prime Days. A ratchet set for $49.71 certainly looks like a steal, but personally, I'm going for the brushless angle grinder that's discounted by over $100. You can find that cheap set of ratchets and sockets right here—an 84-piece kit would get you started, or make a great gift for the young buck in your life. If you're going to be doing any real wrenching, though, I'd recommend bumping the budget and getting this 200-piece set with three different socket sizes. That gets you a lot more versatility and is still a bargain at 22% off. Another item just about anybody could use is this wet/dry vac. It can run on a DeWalt battery (sold separately) or off a wall plug. That's a neat trick since vacuums use a lot of power and can burn up a lot of the batteries that you might rather have in place on your tools. Need an even bigger vacuum for your shop? If you don't mind running a cord all the time, check out the five-gallon DeWalt Stealthsonic in cool chrome, which is knocked down to $135 with a 20% Amazon Prime Days discount. The even larger six-gallon unit is only $3 (not a typo) more right now, too. Finally, for those of you who might be looking to dabble in metalwork, check out the screaming deal on this brushless angle grinder—this is over $100 off list price! You can find a DeWalt non-brushless version for even less, but brushless tools pay you back with increased efficiency, a longer lifespan, and better performance. This would be worth the extra $40 over the base model. I've been eyeing one of these myself and I think this might be my inspiration to pounce. There's one other big DeWalt discount I'll call out before we move on: This drill and impact driver combo with two batteries, a charger, and a bag for just $129 (50% off!) This is a score even if you just keep the batteries and gift the tools to a friend. Our team's hard at work, testing tools, parts, and shop equipment. Let our trials and experience be your guide to mastering The Garage.

Reality show winner and pop star ‘unveiled' as mysterious masked performer President ahead of Download Festival slot
THE identity of a mysterious mask-wearing performer who leads new band President has been revealed ahead of its Download Festival performance tomorrow afternoon. The hard-rocking act launched its presidential campaign out of the blue earlier this year with a series of cryptic social media posts. More recently the band announced its first rally (headline gig) is taking place on July 30 at The Garage, London. It quickly sold out. Two crushing singles, In The Name of the Father and Fearless, are aural manifestos, acting as a rallying cry for rock and metal lovers to pledge allegiance. Speculation over President's identity has been rife ever since the first images of its frontman wearing a creepy rubber mask went public. A place on the Download Festival bill before a physical release indicated the band's members had some gravitas in the industry. The consensus is that the singer Busted frontman Charlie Simpson. President's songs bear a striking resemblance to Charlie's trademark gravelly vocals, particularly from his time leading Fightstar in the early noughties. That band reunited last year for a sellout gig at Wembley Arena to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Charlie won The Masked Singer disguised as a Rhin o in 2023, and it seems the experience has inspired him to launch a more serious masked side project. Not only that, but fans have spotted a gap in the front teeth of the singer, which Charlie is known to have. Beyond the vocal and facial similarities, though, is the fact that the trademark for President's music on Spotify belongs to King of Terror. The Masked Singer crowns Charlie Simpson winner as Rhino revealed The sole director for that firm on Companies House is one Charles Robert Simpson, while documents show his wife Anna holds 50 percent share stake in the business. Though the mystery may be solved, the concept is still creative and refreshing. Faceless acts aren't particularly unusual in modern rock - Ghost have been doing it ghoulishly well for years and Download headliners Sleep Token are currently the genre's biggest poster boys - but President's committal to its theme remains intriguing. And mystery still surrounds the remaining members of the group with former Bring Me The Horizon star Jordan Fish and members of Sleep Token and Bullet For My Valentine tipped to be involved. If you're at Download this weekend check them out on the Dogtooth Stage at 4.25pm tomorrow. 4 4 4

Saudi family businesses embrace innovation and sustainability at landmark forum in Riyadh
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia's dynamic family business sector is accelerating its shift toward innovation and long-term sustainability, as highlighted during the Family Business and Sustainable Innovation Forum, held today at The Garage in Riyadh. The event brought together leading family enterprises, academic experts, policymakers, and entrepreneurship ecosystem partners to explore the future of family-owned businesses in the Kingdom and beyond. Organized in partnership with STEP Project Global Consortium (SPGC), The Garage, Monsha'at, the National Entrepreneurship Committee, KAUST, Babson Global, BGCEL, KPMG Saudi Arabia, the Federation of Saudi Chambers, and the National Center for Family Business, the forum addressed how family businesses can balance legacy with future-readiness through governance reform and digital transformation. Key topics included the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies —such as AI, IoT, and automation—on business models, succession planning, and long-term sustainability. Through keynote speeches and roundtable discussions, the forum highlighted how innovation and sustainability are shaping the future of one of the Kingdom's most influential economic sectors. In conjunction with the forum, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College (MBSC) and The Garage Club signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster collaboration in entrepreneurship, innovation, and talent development. The agreement includes joint training programs, AI and emerging tech initiatives, startup mentoring, and research efforts, as well as co-organized events and discounted educational opportunities for The Garage Club employees and their families. This partnership aims to empower future leaders and accelerate the innovation ecosystem in line with Vision 2030. Dr. Zeger Degraeve, Dean of MBSC, emphasized the strategic role of education and research in guiding family businesses toward sustainable innovation. 'At MBSC, we are committed to equipping the next generation of family business leaders with the mindset and tools to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Events like this forum are essential platforms for bridging academic insights with real-world solutions.' Dr. Adnan Maalaoui, Professor of Entrepreneurship, noted the unique position of family enterprises in leading purposeful change. 'Family businesses carry a legacy, but they also have the agility to adapt and evolve. By embracing innovation and sustainability, they not only ensure their continuity but contribute meaningfully to national development goals.' The event reinforces Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to empower family businesses as drivers of diversification, resilience, and growth under Vision 2030.
