Tom Hanks, 68, that he thinks he’s “in better shape now” than he was in his 30s. In his new film Here, Hanks and Robin Wright play a couple from their 20s until old age with the assistance of de-aging technology. When asked which age he most enjoyed returning to during production, Hanks instead named the age which was his least favorite both in real life and on film.

“I’m 68 years old. The hardest for us was when we were playing 35. That time when your metabolism stops, gravity starts tearing you down, your bones start wearing off. You stand differently,” Hanks told Entertainment Tonight at the film’s premiere. “I think I’m in better shape now.”

“You know why?” he continued. “Because my kids are grown up, I’m getting decent exercise, and I can eat right. You can’t do that when you’re 35. Life is such a burden!”

When the host told Hanks that “everyone needs to get on your plan right now,” the Forrest Gump star said he’s just trying to live as healthily as he can while contending with age and his type 2 diabetes. “Just maintaining the temple baby, that’s all I’m trying to do,” Hanks added.

Hanks made similar remarks when speaking to People at the premiere. “The much more difficult part that was both physical and spiritual emotionally is when Richard and Margaret are 35 and 42—when the aging process just begins to kick in and you no longer are able to spring up off a couch. And you’re not yet to a place where life slows down completely.”

The film’s director, Robert Zemeckis, recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about Hanks and Wright adjusting their performances to appear younger after seeing preliminary footage of themselves in their 20s and 30s.

“They look at it and they go, ‘Oh, I’ve got to be a little bit more spry, I have to move a little quicker, I have to raise my voice a little bit,’” Zemeckis explained. “It was important for them to see it.”

Amazon is the top spot to catch incredible deals on DeWalt power tools, though availability and pricing change frequently. In the last month, the brand has offered shoppers big savings on its popular 20V series tools, including the flashlight, cordless vacuum cleaner, and reciprocating saw, among others. Despite that, it’s the discounts on DeWalt’s batteries that are the most sought-after, and right now, a two-pack of the brand’s supercharged Powerstack model is over $180 off.

The two-pack of DeWalt’s 20V Max XR Powerstack 5Ah Lithium Ion Batteries is now on sale on Amazon for $165—53% off the normal price of $349. These supercharged batteries have earned nearly 300 five-star ratings from DeWalt users who say they “last a long time” beyond the brand’s standard 20V models.

DeWalt 20V Max XR Powerstack 5Ah Lithium Ion Batteries, 2-Pack, $165 (was $349) on Amazon

These DeWalt Powerstack batteries are some of the brand’s best, boasting an upgraded inner tech that delivers about 50% more power and 50% more work per charge with about twice as much lifespan as the standard 20V models. These are the batteries to look for when using DeWalt’s power-hungry tools or any tool you know you’ll be running constantly, like the job site fan or the cordless leaf blower. Each battery has an impact-resistant base with rubber molds for better grip, and there’s even a fuel gauge to tell you when you’re running low.

Shoppers who have picked up this set of Powerstack batteries say it far exceeds the performance they’ve been able to get from their existing batteries. “Wow, what a change,” a shopper said. “This rechargeable battery is an excellent accessory for anyone who owns a DeWalt power tool. It’s well-made, reliable, and designed to provide exceptional power and performance.”

“I got these mainly because I was looking into getting some more power tools like a grinder, saws, etc.,” another shopper said. “I purchased a DeWalt pole saw first and tested these bad boys out. They performed really well, cutting a full-grown tree with two of the batteries, and I still had almost a full battery after.”

DeWalt batteries—especially this Powerstack model—can cost a lot of money, depending on where you look, which is why this is an absolute steal at $165 for a two-pack. Do not wait to grab a set for yourself, because the price could hike back up at any time.

Seven out of 10 of the watches are 40mm in diameter, making them basically accessible for all wrist sizes—the other three are 37mm (also pretty accessible)—and each features the “we.” logo of the Timex Weekender. The face itself is simple and straightforward, giving it a classy look that can go with just about anything, while its 50 meters of water resistance means you shouldn’t even be too scared to take the watch to the beach.

The series is somewhat light on features, but the watches all come equipped with luminous hands and the company’s branded INDIGLO backlight. Additionally, the date window has a magnifier and there are both 12- and 24-hour time indexes, meaning you have no excuses not to know what time it is.

As mentioned above, the watches’ best feature may be their ease and ability to customize. Due to their slip-thru design swapping out the fabric or leather strap for a different color or print is simple. In the end, the real question ends up being which dial color to choose, white, blue, black, or cream, and which dial size. With four different dial colors, two different case sizes, and six different bands to choose, from the possibilities for matching are pretty impressive

The $99 price is also quite good, and not easy to find from well-known watch brands like Timex today.
