Owning a home means maintaining a home. In order to do so properly, there is a basic arsenal of power tools that each homeowner should have at their disposal. If space is an issue, a homeowner should choose tools that are multifaceted, making the most effective use of the workshop storage space. As money, room, and needs allow, the homeowner can easily purchase more tools at a later time for those more specialized jobs.
There
is still a lot of debate over which is the best choice: corded or cordless
power tools. For most homeowners, quality cordless tools make the most sense.
With the advancements in battery technology, a good quality cordless power tool
will have ample battery power to last through most home projects. Plus, there
are no cords to get in the way, fray, or crack. They are also lightweight and
less cumbersome to handle over an extended period of time. Often, cordless
power tools come in kits, which offer savings and can encompass most of your
power tool needs in one easy-to-store package.
Which
tools are the most versatile? Below we list some of your top choices:
- Flashlights are often included in kits. They are powerful, use the same battery pack
as the rest of your tools, and can come in handy for nearly every project
and more.
- Drill/drivers
are extremely versatile. For extended drilling, corded power drills can be
more effective (more powerful), but for most homeowners, a cordless drill
will suffice.
- A
circular saw is an important part of a basic power tool collection. While
it may not be able to accomplish as much as a table saw, a quality
circular saw, when used with a clamped-on straight edge, can be almost as
accurate.
- A
jigsaw is another versatile tool. It is to a band saw, what a circular saw
is to a table saw. Not only are jigsaws handy for cutting curved and
circular patterns into wood, but you’ll also find that they are handy for
cutting out holes in those hard-to-reach places.
- Handheld
orbital sanders can make a big job seem easy. If you’ve ever tried to take
on a big sanding project by hand, you know how quickly fatigue can set in.
- Any
homeowner that enjoys building things out of wood will certainly see the
advantages of owning a nail gun. They can be used for many different
woodworking projects such as installing molding, building furniture, or
repairing furniture.
- As your
needs grow, you’ll learn that a compound miter saw can become an
indispensable part of your collection. For anybody working on molding,
these are a must for getting the job done quickly and accurately.
