BOSCH Single-Bevel Slide Miter Saw

One of my absolute favorite tools is my Bosch Miter Saw—the most precise miter saw I’ve ever tested. One thing I love is this saw’s glider system, which allows it to be set flat against the wall and still make cuts up to 14 inches deep. Another great thing about this tool is that the bevel can adjust both left and right for added flexibility.

This version is a step up from the 10-inch model and is ideal for serious woodworking projects. The Metabo 12-inch saw can adjust up to 45 degrees to both the left and the right.

A jigsaw is a must-have for anyone starting their tool collection. This DeWalt jigsaw, which is currently 52% off for Prime Day, is the perfect choice for anyone who already uses DeWalt tools — no need to get new batteries.

This model from DeWalt is on sale for 41% off on Prime Day and features a textured grip that reduces hand and wrist fatigue, and, like the other DeWalt tools in this review, it’s compatible with the DeWalt 20-volt battery system.
