Spring is well underway, and Memorial Day is just around the corner, so summer isn't far behind. And whether you're looking to pick up your first DIY toolkit or are looking for a specific piece of lawn equipment, retailers like Lowe's, Home Depot, and even Amazon and Best Buy have significant markdowns on everything from lawn mowers to cordless drills. While you'll have to wait for the best discounts until day-of, I compiled a list of the best pre-holiday sales from brands like Craftsman, DeWalt, and Kobalt.
