Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has us excited for, well, spring. The sales event, which runs from March 25 to March 31, is a DIYer’s dream, especially after a long winter. Like Prime Day, the website has deep discounts on pretty much everything you can imagine, but we’re mostly poring over all things outdoors.
Shop the Amazon Big Spring Sale
Right now, there are sales on lawn-and-garden necessities, tool-shed upgrades, and even the ultimate buy-it-before-you-need-it car accessories. Many of the sales we’re seeing have already been vetted by editors at Popular Mechanics, so we can confidently say they’re worth a second look. And, don’t worry if you’re more of an indoor cat; there are sales on Legos and Apple goods as well.

Right now is a good time to shop for both portable and home generators. A portable solar generator is great for car camping or RVing between your favorite national parks this summer, and it can also serve as a backup power source for the home. Some of the solar generator sales we found include a solar panel, so you’re ready to juice up whenever and wherever you need. The Jackery Power Station is a PopMech editor favorite, having been extensively tested over the years. If you’re new to portable power stations, here’s a quick guide to get you started.
With hurricane season starting June 1st, a bit of disaster preparedness offers some peace of mind. A home generator that uses liquid propane or natural gas is a better option for long-term use if your power is out for multiple days.

There are plenty of solid deals on power tools, but one thing to keep an eye on is drills. A cordless drill may be the biggest time-saver you can buy for DIY projects and quick fixes around the house. The DeWalt Cordless Drill is a fan favorite as it runs on the same battery as your other DeWalt tools (if you’re like us, you probably have a lot).
Another sale we’re excited to see is this Bosch stud finder, which impressed us in testing and is currently over half off (and sure, you can find a stud without a stud finder, but why hassle and take the risk?). Bosch’s stud finder also doubles as a live wire detector if you’re doing electrical work.

A car jump starter is kind of like a plunger—you should have it before you need it. Luckily, a bunch of portable jump starters we’ve tested are a part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Some of the best jump starters do a lot more than start your car; nowadays, they come with charging ports for your phone or have built-in emergency lights and flashlights.
The Gooloo Jump Starter has been our best-tested option for a while now. Its large power capacity provides 24 months of standby time, while 100-watt USB-C fast charging allows it to fully recharge in 1.4 hours and jump-start vehicles after just 7 minutes.
