When you walk into a Home Depot or Lowe’s, it feels like DeWalt and Milwaukee own the entire power tool aisle. But in Amazon? That’s a completely different battlefield. The winners aren’t always who you expect.

Instead of simply listing the top sellers, we pulled actual Amazon marketplace data and built a full tier list for power tool brands based on their estimated annual Amazon revenue and average price points. Some of these rankings may surprise you.

Amazon Power Tool Brand Tier List


S-Tier: The Kings of Amazon


These brands dominate Amazon’s virtual shelves, and their revenue numbers are staggering.

  • DeWalt — $634M annual revenue | Avg price: $107.03
  • Milwaukee — $325M | $155.15
  • Craftsman — $135M | $55.90

DeWalt sits comfortably at the top, earning nearly double Milwaukee’s Amazon sales.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders


Trusted names with solid sales volume and competitive pricing.

  • Bosch — $90M | $90.21
  • Makita — $84M | $141.78

B-Tier: Mid-Level Competitors


Popular, but not yet challenging the leaders.

  • Ryobi — $52M | $87.60
  • Skil — $40M | $120.79

C-Tier: Niche Players


Brands with focused audiences or specialized product lines.

  • Deko — $27M | $63.20
  • Metabo — $21M | $160.21
  • Ridgid — $20M | $322.90

Ridgid’s extremely high average price reflects its pro-grade offerings, but online sales volume lags.

D-Tier: Small but Active


These brands move units, but are far from household names.

  • Hoto — $9M | $70.78
  • Porter Cable — $7M | $104.68

E-Tier: Fighting for Shelf Space


Minimal online presence, even if they have retail footprints.

  • Enowave — $4M | $31.26
  • Kobalt — $4M | $91.36
  • Galax Pro — $3M | $57.24

Key Takeaways from the Amazon Power Tool Wars:

  • The gap between S-Tier and everyone else is enormous.

    DeWalt alone makes more on Amazon than the entire B-tier combined.
  • Price positioning shows clear strategies.

    Milwaukee and Makita skew toward premium buyers, while Craftsman and Ryobi chase more budget-conscious shoppers.
  • Retail leaders don’t always translate online.

    Brands like Ridgid and Kobalt shine in brick-and-mortar stores but struggle to capture Amazon’s algorithm-driven sales.

Amazon’s power tool marketplace tells a very different story than what you see at your local home improvement store. It's a powerful reminder that marketplace success isn’t just about brand strength — it's about platform fit, price strategy, and digital shelf dominance.
