Amazon’s Memorial Day power tool sale opens tomorrow, Saturday May 16, and runs through Memorial Day on May 26. Outdoor power equipment leads the event, with reductions reported up to 56% off on cordless lawn mowers, string trimmers, leaf blowers, and pressure washers.
This is the biggest OPE sale window of the year on Amazon, and in 2026 it carries more urgency than usual: manufacturers have already flagged mid-year price increases tied to Section 301 tariff changes. Buying now versus September could mean paying 8–10% less on identical tools.

How to Shop It Without Getting Burned
Amazon’s sale isn’t a flat discount on everything at once. It runs as Lightning Deals (time-limited, quantity-limited), Deal of the Day items, and rotating category promotions.
- Check early morning — Deal of the Day refreshes at midnight PT and popular OPE items sell out fast
- Verify the "was" price before buying — Amazon sometimes discounts from a high MSRP that the product rarely charged at retail
- Add items to your cart or wishlist now; Amazon will notify you if the price drops further during the event
- Watch for platform bundle deals — OPE brands sometimes package extra batteries or accessories during the sale that make the kit significantly better value
