The act of building or fixing something with power tools—much like the act of dialing the police as a friend attempts juggling with four chainsaws—is a positive way to keep idle hands busy. Keep hands safely occupied with today's Groupon: for $30, you get $70 worth of tools and hardware at Direct Tools Factory Outlet in Sevierville.

Direct Tools Factory Outlet decks out sheds and tool belts with new, reconditioned, and factory-blemished tools and hardware from brands such as Ryobi, Homelite, Milwaukee, Hoover, and Dirt Devil. Shoppers can eradicate dirt and crumbs from surfaces with the Dirt Devil corded pet hand vac ($39.99) or resize out-of-control indoor ferns with a Homelite reconditioned electric chainsaw ($44.99). The blemished right-angle drill by Ryobi ($55.99) can help piece together projects, as can the store's assortment of discontinued and reconditioned power tools and outdoor equipment. Unlike portraits rendered in ice, all of Direct Tools' products come with a warranty of at least one year.
