Amazon Prime Day, the online marketplace’s biggest sale event of the year, officially ends at 3 a.m. Eastern on October 15. More than one million deals on products of all kinds have been up for grabs, and with more consumers purchasing for home delivery during the pandemic, the competition has been even fiercer.

Amazon Prime costs $12.99 a month or $119 a year. Its benefits include faster shipping on Amazon orders, discounts at Whole Foods, and access to Amazon’s streaming entertainment. However, you can also pick up a free 30-day trial of Prime here in time to shop the sale.
To help you navigate the sea of goods, we’ve been tracking the best deals for artists of all ages and skills and from watercolor pencils to cameras, here, here, here, and here. Although Amazon Prime Day continues through the wee hours of tomorrow morning, we are signing off now with a few late recommendations. Many of these deals are lightning deals, lasting only a few hours. A word of advice: Move fast, as products sell out quickly.

25% off Bosch laser level
This tool is a pricey pick even with a discount, but it packs a lot of features. Rather than a red light, it shines a bright green beam, which is more visible and can even be seen outdoors on a not-too-sunny day. It projects horizontal, vertical, and cross lines up to 75 feet, and has a self-leveling system that also indicates out-of-level conditions. Though it’s built tough, it weighs in at just over a pound for easy carrying.

Purchase: Bosch 75′ Green-Beam Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser Level, $149.00 on Amazon.
