"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Amazon can be a hard site to navigate sometimes — with such a wide range of storefronts and products, it often takes a great deal of time to ensure you're purchasing the most high-quality items for the best low-price deals. Double that struggle when you're looking for simple household wares like folding stools and light bulbs, both of which have over 30,000 search results. That's why the site's best-kept secret, the Overstock Outlet, is a Popular Mechanics favorite.

The Amazon Overstock page boasts of discounts of up to 50 percent off, and has categories like Kitchen, Clothing, Watches & Jewelry, Outdoors, Electronic and Home & Furniture. You can shop for your spring garden needs while ordering discounted groceries all in one fell swoop.

There's also a "Related to Items You Viewed" section, making it super convenient to shop for things that are already on your to-buy list. It's like going to the mall and then being shown all of the shirts you tried on at a discounted price. (It's also a great way to be reminded to the things you forgot about — I was immediately reminded that I need a lightweight quilt.)

Amazon, home to virtually every gadget imaginable, can be a maze to navigate at times. It helps to know where the best deals are, and, reader, this is where the Amazon Overstock Outlet comes in.

We saved you some time by putting together a short list of the best on-sale items right now. Shop our picks below.

1529 Tool Bag

This 16-pocket tool bag is made of not leather, but polyester. Still, it’s rugged, and the organization means you can dump larger instruments in the big pockets while keeping tools you want easily at hand in the outer slots. Bonus: The included plastic parts tray slips into the divider, keeping odds and ends from getting lost amid everything else.

Tac 1AA LED Tactical Flashlight

Made of aluminum and rated IPX4 for water resistance, the Tac 1AA runs off of AAs, like the name implies. It’s a simple but dependable flashlight, good for keeping in a drawer for when the power goes out suddenly or you need to quickly see into dark corners.

GSR12V Cordless Drill Set

Electric screwdrivers as a whole bring more convenience to the task. Bosch’s in particular rank well in our evaluations. The heads are easy to swap on and off, with a satisfying click letting you know they’re locked on. Keep in mind that, along the electric screwdriver spectrum, this one is powerful. Most that we’ve covered clock in at 4 volts; this one has 12.

6-Outlet Extender (2-Pack)

These extenders triple the number of plugs your outlet offers while maintaining a seamless look by covering the original wall plate. And they’re easy to install—just plug them into any existing three-pronged, two-outlet station.

Digital Air Fryer

If you’re looking to dive into the world of air frying or if you need to swap out a well-loved one, this model from GoWise—at 48 percent off—makes the investment more palatable. The touchscreen menu looks busy but has helpful presets. And the user-friendliness extends to the alarm that reminds you to shake the food inside every so often to promote air circulation and an even cook.

iFloor 2 Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum

A mop and vacuum in one, this appliance will leave your floors shiny. And its dock cleans the roller for you. Since it is cordless, though, you have to be efficient: its battery will run for 22 minutes before needing a recharge.

Camping Cooler Bag

Soft coolers can’t achieve the same level of insulation as their hard-sided, double-walled counterparts. But they are, in many cases, more portable. This one has capacity for 24 cans and can keep its contents cold for up to 24 hours, good for an overnight camping trip or toting to a job site or soccer game.

GU10 LED Bulbs (3-Pack)

The cost- and energy-saving benefits of LEDs are well know now. Long-lasting and energy-efficient, these bulbs offer all of the light for way less dough.

Softside Upright Luggage Set

Stock up for spring and summer vacations with a durable two-piece luggage set. This one comes with key features you want in baggage—a lock, security pockets on the back, internal organization—while being even more affordable at 50 percent off.

3-Piece Cooking Sheet Set

There’s one in every kitchen: an overused cooking sheet that’s on its final legs, probably a little warped and scratched from utensils scraping against it. Commit to some new ones. These are non-stick and technically dishwasher-safe, though Goodcook does recommend washing them by hand.

HPA200 Air Purifier

Allergy season is well underway. If you struggle with pet dander, pollen, or smoke, this purifier will help clean the air in your home. The HPA200 can filter and circulate the air in a 310-square-foot room roughly every 13 minutes.

Folding Step Stool

Light, and with a decent weight rating of 225 pounds, this stool is helpful for getting you a little extra vertical reach when you need it. And it weighs a bit more than 7 pounds for easy portability.

6-Person Dome Tent with Screen Room

Save now, camp later. This six-person tent will sleep the whole family during your next car camping trip. Plus, it has a screened-in porch, welded seams keep water out, and the peak interior height is almost 6 feet, so you can relatively easily crouch to walk in and out.
