Best Tool Belt
DeWalt Leather Tool Belt
Sure, you can find cheaper tool belts out there, but if you want one that’s really going to last a long time, then consider springing for this one. It’s made from top-grain Nubuck leather, which has a smoother and softer texture that’s similar to suede.
With double stitching and reinforced rivets, this tool belt can withstand all the pointy fasteners and tools you cram into it. With two steel loops for hammers and 11 pockets of varying size, it has ample storage for even bigger DIY projects.
Yet, the belt is still compact enough that you won’t feel like it’s weighing you down as you work. And with its many notches, this belt will fit a broad range of waist sizes.

Best Screwdriver Bit Set
DeWalt Impact Ready Flextorq 40-Piece Steel Screwdriver Bit Set
This innovative set of screwdriver bits demonstrates the innovation you’ll find in DeWalt tools and accessories. These Flextorq bits that are designed to work with an impact driver are made from a steel alloy that flexes up to 15 degrees when under pressure.
This ability to twist transfers more torque to the fastener than a standard drill bit, giving them more power for driving larger fasteners into dense materials, and more breaking power when trying to remove a stubborn nut or bolt.
The 40-piece set comes with a range of screwdriver bit types and bit drivers along with a 1/2-inch deep socket and 3/8-inch deep socket.

Best Multi-Tool Blades
DeWalt Oscillating Tool Blades Kit
Multi-tool blades are notorious for wearing out quickly, especially when using them to cut through harder materials like metal and hardwoods. That’s not the case with this set of five oscillating tool blades from DeWalt. I’ve used them to cut through everything from PVC pipe to 3/8-inch lag bolts.
They make precise cuts through a variety of materials while maintaining their sharpness longer than your average oscillating tool blade. Plus, they have DeWalt’s PlungePoint tips, which makes it easier to execute plunge cuts into materials.
The kit includes three different blade types all of which fit most brands of oscillating tools, and all of the blades fit into a handy carrying case.

Best Angle Grinder Cut Off Wheel
DeWalt Metal Angle Grinder Thin Cutoff Wheel
While many DeWalt power tools come at a premium price, its accessories are often affordable, especially when you factor in how long they last. These metal angle grinder wheels are a great example of the value you can get out of the black and yellow accessories.
I’ve used these 4-1/2 inch cutoff wheels, which are designed for smaller angle grinders, on several occasions to cut through metal bolts, metal pipes, and sheet metal. They grind through metal easily and last longer than other angle grinder blades I’ve used. And since DeWalt gives you 10 in a pack, they also happen to be a heck of a deal.

Best Tool Box
DeWalt Tstak Tool Box
DeWalt’s TSTAK toolbox is roomier than your average toolbox. In fact, it’s large enough to hold a cordless drill, multiple batteries, and a charger with plenty of room for smaller accessories and hand tools in its removable tray. It’s made from heavy duty plastic and has large metal latches that hold the lid tightly closed for transport.
One of the things I like most about this toolbox is that it’s modular. Since it’s part of the DeWalt TSTAK system, you can stack other TSTAK tool boxes, which come in a variety of styles and sizes, on top of it to expand your storage. And despite having the premium DeWalt name on it, the TSTAK tool boxes are surprisingly affordable.

Best Reciprocating Saw Blades
DeWalt Reciprocating Saw Blades
DeWalt saw blades are well regarded for their durability and that holds true with this collection of reciprocating saw blades. The set includes blades for cutting through a variety of materials, including one that has 6 teeth per inch (TPI) for cutting through wood and blades with 18 TPI for making cuts through metal.
I’ve used these blades to cut through old metal pipes, wood studs, and even tree branches and found they last longer and cut more quickly than most reciprocating saw blades. And, as with most DeWalt accessories, this one comes with a case, ensuring the blades won’t end up scattered around your workshop.

Best Overall
DeWalt 14-Piece Black and Gold Coated Hss Twist Drill Bit Set
I’ve used a lot of drill bits over the years and have found that most wear out fairly quickly. DeWalt’s black and gold twist drill bit set, which has served me well through many projects, is an exception.
I’ve found that the bits in this set to be very sharp, while also holding their edges well even after prolonged use. And thanks to a reinforced core, they won’t break easily, which is key if your projects require you to use a lot of thinner drill bits.
Each bit has a split point design that gives the tip a long cutting edge that bites into the material, preventing the tip from walking across its surface. This set comes with 14 pieces ranging from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch, and the bits fit into a durable case that keeps them organized.

Best Safety Glasses
DeWalt DPG59 Reinforcer RX Bifocal Safety Glass
If you’re a DIYer of a certain age, then you know how challenging it can be to line up cuts or read tiny measurements with a standard pair of safety glasses. DeWalt’s bifocal safety glasses have a magnified part molded into the lens, so you can clearly see cutlines, line up nails, and read those miniscule measurement markings on drill bits.
And unlike the readers you’ll find at the checkout of your local drugstore, these glasses have an impact resistant polycarbonate lens and a half frame design for a wider field of vision. Plus, they sit securely to your face thanks to a rubber non-slip nosepiece and rubber tipped temples.

Best Saw Blades
DeWalt 10-Inch Miter/Table Saw Blades
DeWalt’s miter saws are among the best on the market, so it only makes sense that the black and yellow also puts out some darn good miter saw blades. This combo set of two 10-inch diameter blades comes with a 60-tooth finish blade, which is ideal for making smooth clean cuts through plywood or softwoods, and a 32-tooth general purpose blade for making rip cuts and faster cuts through dense material.
Both have kerfs spaced around the blade that allow for faster cutting. And with their tungsten carbide construction, you can expect both blades to maintain their sharpness through many projects.

Best Charger
DeWalt Flexvolt 20V 60V Max Fast Charger
If you’re trying to get more working time out of one of your cordless DeWalt power tools, you have two options. You can either load up on expensive DeWalt high capacity batteries or shorten the time it takes to charge the ones you’ve got by investing in this fast charger.
With a built-in fan cooling system and 8-volt output, the Flexvolt fast charger can cut hours off the time it takes to recharge a battery. It will recharge a Flexvolt 20V/60V 6Ah battery in one hour and a 5 Ah battery in just 45 minutes.
Plus, it’s reasonably priced, making it a more affordable alternative to buying high capacity 20-volt DeWalt batteries that can cost well over $100.

Best Work Gloves
DeWalt Large PVC Mechanical Repair Gloves
DeWalt’s work gloves do what many work gloves don’t–they protect your hands while still giving your fingers enough dexterity to work the trigger on a framing nailer or grip a ratchet driver handle. They accomplish this with anti-slip grip on the palm and overlays on the inside of the fingers that make it easy to get a firm grip on a tool’s handle.
There’s also padding in the palm that absorbs pressure so you can pull harder with less pain when loosening a stubborn bolt or prying material apart. I also like the rubber overlays on the back of the hand and fingers that protect from abrasion and impacts. There’s also an extra layer of material between the thumb and hand, reinforcing the part of a work glove that’s usually the first to wear out.
