Top Power Tools To Invest In For Home Improvement Projects

The Top 10 Power Tools to Invest In

It's best to build up your tool cabinet over time. Quality matters when it comes to power tools. Don't ever risk your safety to save a few bucks with cheap tools!

When it comes to buying tools, you want to look at a few things. First, do you recognize the brand name? High-quality tools will have a reputation you can feel confident in. You also want to make sure they have rechargeable, detachable batteries.

You can find quality rechargeable power tools with a great reputation on our site.

1. Cordless Drill

A drill is the most basic power tool on the market, and everyone should have one. Drills can do everything from helping you hang pictures on the wall to installing a bunk bed. Got Ikea furniture? Drill bits work much better than the little tool they give you.

Cordless drills should come with a starter kit of drill bits, a battery, and a battery charger.

2. Circular Saw

One of the best things you can do for your home's value is to add custom features. A circular saw can help you do that. They're perfect for cutting plywood, sheets of drywall, and anything else you need to make the ideal household feature.

We recommend getting a set of sawhorses to go with your circular saw for the ultimate workability.

3. Jigsaw

While a circular saw makes cuts through large or thick materials, a jigsaw tool is for more detailed work. Think of a circular saw like an industrial paper cutter and jigsaw-like hand scissors.

Jigsaws can cut all types of material, making them perfect for any DIY project. Jigsaw blades are delicate, so buy extra when taking on a large project.

4. Impact Driver

Many people get confused about the difference between a drill and an impact driver. They are similar power tools, but the impact driver is much more powerful than the average power drill. So while the average DIYer can get away with only having a power drill, a serious handyperson will want to have both.

Impact drivers have higher torque and power than drills, making them more efficient. In addition, they can assist with flat-headed nails or bolts, where a drill cannot. If you're building something that needs very long screws (like a deck), you'll want an impact driver on hand.

Be sure to look at accessories, such as an adaptors for impact drivers as well.

5, Table Saw

Table saws are saws that come pre-mounted on a table. The size of the table differs depending on the power you need. Smaller table saws come with fold-out legs, allowing you to bring the saw anywhere you need to use it. Bigger, more expensive table saws are technically portable but are heavy and hard to move.

Table saws are best for jobs that require precise, repetitive cuts. All home-build sites will have a table saw on hand. Most table saws have a laser projection showing where the blade will cut.

Every handyperson needs a quality table saw in their toolshed.

6. Angle Grinder

Angle grinders are multi-use tools that have too many uses to list. They can polish, grind, cut, buff, sharpen, and shave down to the most precise angle. In addition, they can easily cut through sheet metal and other difficult materials, making them a welder's best friend.

You'll need different angle grinder cutting discs for different material types, so keep that in mind when you buy this power tool and its accessories.

7. Air Compressor

That's not much that compressed air can't do. Run out of air in your tyres? Pull out your air compressor. Need to blow up the air mattress for your in-laws? Same thing! Painting a car and want an even coat with a spray attachment? An air compressor is the tool for you.

Everyone should have at least a small air compressor in their garage, whether they're blowing up pool toys or doing serious DIY.

8. Nail Gun

If you're building something that needs more than a few nails, you'll want a nail gun. Imagine having to hand-sink every nail in a large-scale project. That would take forever!

Nail guns attach to your air compressor and use the powerful air to sink nails deep into your material. Don't try to build anything serious without one!

9. Oscillating Multi-Tool

If you're looking for one tool that can replace a handful of others, look no further. An oscillating multi-tool can be your sander, grinder, small saw, or cutter.

10. Cordless Chainsaw

Keeping the outdoors at bay is a full-time job in Australia. A job you don't want to show up to without a cordless chainsaw. These babies can cut anything from tree trunks to branches to thick brush.

As long as it's charged, you can bring it anywhere with you!
