Presidents Day DIY deals

There's nothing people love more than a three-day weekend, and if it includes grilling, a beverage, and maybe some online shopping, it's ideal. Presidents Day falls on Feb. 16 this year, granting us one of those glorious 72-hour breaks, and you're likely already thinking about what you want to do with your free time.

If you're interested in DIY projects and daydream about spending time off building your own furniture or expanding that too-small bathroom, there's no better time to get started. Presidents Day DIY sales are plentiful, and it's a great time to save on everything from tools to storage. That's why we've gathered a list of some of the best DIY deals available now and through this weekend under $50. The best part is that prices start as low as $8, and everything on our list is from trusted retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Lowe's.

Hoey Cordless Drill Set, $28 (was $50) at Walmart

If you want to get serious about DIY projects, you need to acquire a few basic tools first. Unless you want to spend all day screwing things in by hand (pro tip: you don't), you need a drill. Most folks think of a drill as an investment that costs hundreds of dollars. And while those options are out there for when you get deeper into DIY, there are also some budget-conscious picks for beginners. The Hoey Cordless Drill Set is on sale for just $28 and is a Walmart bestseller, which comes with everything you need as a beginner, including drill bits, attachments, accessories, and a portable storage case.

Craftsman 30-Drawer Storage Organizer, $17 (was $28) at Amazon

Now that you have your tools in order, you'll need a way to organize your supplies. Of course, you can throw everything into a toolbox and dig through it anytime you need a screw or a lugnut. But your process will be much smoother if you organize all your supplies beforehand. You can make that easy with the Craftsman 3-Drawer Storage Organizer, on sale for jus t$17. It has transparent drawers so you can easily see what's inside, and it's also modular, allowing you to stack more than one unit. It takes a little bit of time to sort everything, but you'll be glad you did.

DeWalt 8-Compartment Portable Tool Box, $8 (was $9) at Amazon

Now you have an organization system in place, but since DIY projects involve a lot of moving around, you may have to go back and forth a lot to get what you need. This is where a portable toolbox can come in handy. The DeWalt 8-Compartment Portable Tool Box is an ideal solution to this problem, and it'll only run you $8. Simply load it up with the pieces you need for your project and take it with you. It has a handle for easy carrying and two holes for hanging, should you have a pegboard setup in your workspace (and if you don't, keep on reading).

Enjoywood Pegboard Set, $23 (was $40) at Walmart

At this point in your DIY journey, you may have completed a project or two or acquired more tools. A pegboard is a great way to manage your supplies as your collection expands. These are an incredibly flexible solution that can be customized in thousands of ways. While many are designed to be mounted, this Walmart bestselling Enjoywood Pegboard Set has feet so it can be placed on any surface. It also comes with two racks, two shelves, and ten hooks, so you can configure it to your liking.

Simplify Utility Cart, $27 at Lowe's

The longer you do DIY projects, the more quickly you realize how things on wheels are your friend. The Simplify Utility Cart is not only perfect for small spaces, but makes an ideal home for supplies you need to have on hand. At just $27, they're also super affordable. And at less than five inches wide, you can find room to store them between just about anything.

Commander Stackable Tote, $10 at Lowe's

Naturally, over time, you'll probably start to accumulate more supplies you might not want sitting out in the open. Just like you need a way to keep your tools and supplies close at hand, you'll also need a means of storing things you don't use all the time, but that you want to be able to find when you get an idea for a new project. Enter the $10 Commander Stackable Tote and lid, a sturdy container built to last. I use these in my own garage, and I can vouch for their quality and usefulness. They have tie-down grooves for safe transport, and they're so versatile that even if you empty one and no longer need it for your DIY supplies, it can easily be used for everything from storing off-season bedding to holiday decor.

Warome Power Tool Organizer Cart, $50 (was $70) at Amazon

As your tool collection grows, you'll need something to store it in. The Warome Power Tool Cart can hold tons of tools, with multiple spaces to hang drills. It has a built-in tray for drill bits, several shelves to hold toolboxes, built-in pegboards on each side, and sturdy handles so you can wheel it around anywhere. And you'll save $20 when you buy it this weekend at Amazon.

Anker Bluetooth Speaker, $25 (was $36) at Amazon

There's one thing we recommend for your setup that has nothing to do with organization, and that's a Bluetooth speaker. But hear us out. Whether you're a podcast fan or just need some rockin' tunes to accompany your work, you'll be glad to have the Anker Bluetooth Speaker in your space, which can run for 24 hours on a single charge. Unlike most of the other items on this list, it doesn't have wheels, but it'll provide entertainment while you get your jobs done.
