Key Takeaways
- Weatherproof cord for string lights: The Thonapa 6ft 2-pack is 16/3 SJTW rated and down 50% this week.
- Long outdoor run: The LUCKY TL 25ft pure copper cord covers the patio to the shed without a daisy chain.
- Best tool buy for Father’s Day: The DEWALT 20V drill and impact combo is a category bestseller at 38% off.

Summer hit the mountains and the porch projects came with it. This is the season where you string lights over the deck, plug the pressure washer in out by the driveway, and suddenly realize the only outdoor cord you own is the cracked orange one that has been living under the lawnmower since 2019. June is cord season in West Virginia. Between the humidity, the surprise afternoon storms that roll over the ridge, and the dew that soaks everything by morning, an indoor cord run out the window does not cut it.
Going through the WV Finds list this week, the thing that jumped out was how the extension cords landed at the same time as a stack of cordless tools. Both Thonapa and LUCKY TL are running their weatherproof cords at half off, and DEWALT showed up heavy again with drills, combo kits, and an oscillating multi-tool all marked down. With Father’s Day this weekend, the timing is not a coincidence. The tools deals always thicken up the first half of June.
So this one splits cleanly. Weatherproof cords and a little cord wrangling up top, since that is what people are searching for right now, and the cordless tool deals after. Prices verified June 7, 2026.
Which weatherproof outdoor extension cords should you buy?
For outdoor use you want a cord with an SJTW or SJTW-rated weatherproof jacket and a 16/3 gauge or heavier for anything that pulls real power. The four picks here cover short runs, long runs, and the desk clutter that comes after.
Thonapa 6ft Outdoor Cord 2-Pack
This Thonapa 2-pack is the one I would grab for porch lights or a seasonal setup near the house. The cords are 6 feet, 16/3 SJTW rated, with grounded 3-prong plugs, so they hold up to weather and dew better than an indoor cord run out the window. Two short cords are honestly more useful than one long one when you are plugging in lights and a fan in different spots, and it is a veteran owned brand at half off.
- 16/3 SJTW weatherproof
- 6 ft, grounded 3-prong
- Veteran owned brand
LUCKY TL 25ft Outdoor Cord
When you need to reach the shed or the far corner of the patio, the LUCKY TL 25ft cord is the right call. It is 16/3 SJTW, pure copper, ETL listed, and rated to 13A and 1625W, so it handles a pressure washer or a circular saw without sagging. The flexible jacket matters more than people think in cold mornings, since a stiff cord cracks at the bends. At half off this is the practical workhorse of the group.
- 16/3 pure copper, ETL listed
- 13A 1625W rated
- Flexible weatherproof jacket
SUPERDANNY 10ft Power Strip
This SUPERDANNY power strip is the indoor companion to all of the above, not an outdoor cord, so keep it on the workbench or the desk. You get a 10ft flat-plug cord, 8 outlets, and 4 USB ports including 2 USB-C, which is enough to clear a tangle of chargers and shop chargers off one outlet. It is a category bestseller and the flat plug sits flush behind furniture. Good for a home office or a garage charging station.
- 8 outlets, 4 USB ports
- 2 USB-C, flat plug
- Surge protector
BLACK+DECKER Cord Organizer
Once the cords are sorted, this BLACK+DECKER magnetic organizer keeps them from sliding off the bench. You get 6 magnetic cable clips with strong adhesive backing, made for under-desk runs, nightstands, or kitchen counters. At 57% off it is the cheapest thing on the list and the kind of small buy you end up wishing you had bought two of. Simple, but it does exactly one job well.
- 6 magnetic cable clips
- Strong adhesive backing
- Under-desk cord management
What are the best cordless drill and driver deals?
The drill and driver kits are where the real Father’s Day value sits this week, with DEWALT and CRAFTSMAN combos all landing in the 38% to 45% range. If someone in the house still borrows a corded drill from a neighbor, this is the week to fix that.
DEWALT 20V Brushless Drill Driver
The DEWALT DCD777D1 is the brushless drill driver I point people to when they want one good drill and not a whole arsenal. It is a 1/2 inch, 2-speed brushless drill with an LED light, and it comes with a 2.0Ah battery and charger so you are working out of the box. Brushless matters here because the motor runs cooler and the battery lasts longer per charge. A category bestseller at 45% off.
- 1/2 in, 2-speed brushless
- 2.0Ah battery and charger
- LED light
DEWALT Drill and Impact Combo
If you want the drill and an impact driver together, the DEWALT DCK240C2 combo is the better value play. You get both tools, two batteries, a charger, and a bag, which covers drilling pilot holes and driving deck screws without swapping bits constantly. This is a top bestseller in its category for a reason. At 38% off it is the pick I would hand someone setting up their first real kit.
- Drill plus impact driver
- 2 batteries, charger, bag
- Category bestseller
CRAFTSMAN V20 Drill and Impact Set
CRAFTSMAN’s V20 drill and impact set is the same idea at a slightly different price point. Two tools, two batteries, a charger, an LED work light, and a bag, all on the V20 platform that plays nice with their other tools. CRAFTSMAN runs lighter than DEWALT, which some folks prefer for overhead work. A bestseller at 41% off, and a solid gift if the recipient already owns V20 batteries.
- 2 tools, 2 batteries
- Charger, LED light, bag
- V20 platform
Greenworks 24V Impact Driver Kit
The Greenworks 24V impact driver kit is the sleeper here. It is brushless, puts out 1950 in-lbs of torque, and ships with two 2Ah batteries, a charger, 8 driver bits, and a bag. That is a lot of kit for the money, and the torque number holds its own against bigger names for lag bolts and deck work. If you are not already locked into a battery brand, this is a clean place to start at 42% off.
- Brushless, 1950 in-lbs torque
- 2x 2Ah batteries, charger
- 8 driver bits and bag
What other tool deals are worth grabbing for summer?
Beyond the drills, a few odd jobs and yard tools rounded out the list this week, from a flush-cut multi-tool to a 40V leaf blower for the deck.
DEWALT 20V Oscillating Multi-Tool
The DEWALT DCS356D1 oscillating multi-tool is the one you reach for when nothing else fits. It is a 3-speed brushless multi-tool with quick blade change, and it comes with sandpaper, blades, a battery, and a charger. Flush cuts, scraping, undercutting door jambs, trimming pipe, it does the awkward jobs a drill cannot. A category bestseller at nearly half off, and the quick blade change is worth more than it sounds when you are switching tasks.
- 3-speed brushless
- Quick blade change
- Battery and charger included
BLACK+DECKER Detail Sander
This BLACK+DECKER detail sander is corded, which I actually like for a sander since you never run out of charge mid-project. It is 1.2 amp, runs 16,000 OPM, and the pointed pad gets into corners and tight trim that a random orbital cannot reach. The dust collector keeps the workbench cleaner than most sanders in this range. At 34% off it is a cheap fix for refinishing furniture or smoothing rough cuts.
- 1.2 amp, 16,000 OPM
- Corded with dust collector
- Pointed pad for corners
Makita 18V LXT Flashlight

Makita DML816 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 18 L.E.D. Flashlight, Flashlight Only
If you are already on the Makita 18V LXT platform, this 18-LED flashlight is an easy add. It runs off the same batteries as your drills, so you are not buying yet another charger. It is a bare tool, meaning no battery included, so only grab it if you have LXT packs already. Good for the truck, the crawlspace, or a power outage during a summer storm.
- 18 LED, LXT battery platform
- Bare tool, no battery
- Runs off existing packs
Greenworks 40V Leaf Blower

Greenworks 40V (150 MPH / 130 CFM / 75+ Compatible Tools) Cordless Leaf Blower, Tool Only
The Greenworks 40V leaf blower clears grass clippings off the deck and driveway without dragging a cord around. It moves 150 MPH and 130 CFM, which is plenty for patio cleanup and light yard work, and it runs on a platform compatible with 75-plus Greenworks tools. This is the tool-only version, so you need a 40V battery and charger to use it. At 33% off it is the smallest discount on the list, but a quiet, light blower for porch duty.
- 150 MPH / 130 CFM
- Tool only
- 75+ compatible tools
Frequently asked questions
What makes an extension cord weatherproof for outdoor use?
Look for an SJTW jacket rating and a gauge of 16/3 or heavier. The W in SJTW means the cord is rated for weather and moisture, and the thicker copper handles power tools and pressure washers without overheating. Both the Thonapa and LUCKY TL cords here are 16/3 SJTW rated.
What gauge extension cord do I need for outdoor power tools?
For most outdoor tools and yard equipment, 16/3 covers short runs and 14/3 or 12/3 is better for long runs or high-draw tools. The LUCKY TL 25ft cord is rated to 13A and 1625W, which handles a circular saw or pressure washer on a shorter run. The longer and more powerful the tool, the heavier the gauge you want.
Can I leave a weatherproof extension cord outside permanently?
Weatherproof cords resist rain and dew, but they are not meant to be buried or left exposed year-round. Use a cord cover or weatherproof box for any connection that stays outside, and bring cords in over winter to extend their life. The jacket holds up to weather during use, not to constant UV and freeze cycles.
Is a brushless drill worth the extra money?
Yes, for most buyers. Brushless motors run cooler, last longer, and squeeze more work out of each battery charge than brushed ones. The DEWALT DCD777D1 and Greenworks impact driver here are both brushless, which is part of why they are worth grabbing at these prices.
This was a strong week if you are shopping cords and drills, and an average one for everything else. The extension cords are the real story, with both Thonapa and LUCKY TL at a flat 50% off and no inflated original-price nonsense, just honest cuts on cords that do the job. The drill and combo kits ran 38% to 45% off, which is right where I like to see DEWALT and CRAFTSMAN before I tell anyone to buy. Discounts across the whole list ran from 33% on the Greenworks blower up to 57% on the BLACK+DECKER cord clips.
If I were spending my own money this week, the DEWALT DCK240C2 drill and impact combo is the standout. Two tools, two batteries, and a bag at a bestseller price is the kind of deal that does not need a hard sell, and it is the obvious Father’s Day buy. The cords I would grab without thinking, since you always end up needing one. The one I would skip is the Makita flashlight unless you already own LXT batteries, because the bare tool only makes sense inside that ecosystem.
Heading into the back half of June, watch the cordless yard tools. Greenworks and BLACK+DECKER both have hedge trimmers and blowers floating in and out of these lists, and those usually deepen as summer settles in. If you missed a cord this week, they tend to come back, but the DEWALT combo at this price is the one I would not wait on. You can browse all deals if you want to see what else is live right now.
