    Always go for craftman, they have a return policy like no other. You definatly need a drill, circular saw is a bonus dont have one yet gotta jigsaw, sander I seem to find project around the house every other day

    I’ve had excellent results with my DeWalt tools. They’re a modest more than consumer brand tools but they’re worth it.

  • all1g8r:

    The best brand depends on the particular tool you are looking for. If I have one tip to give you, it’s buy it right the first time. Spend a modest more to buy a quality product rather than buying something cheaper and having to buy a better version when the following-rate tool does not meet your needs.

    Dremels are pretty clean, for details and modest stuff.

  • dirty j:

    craftsman is ok like the girl said but they aren’t the best tools around and often don’t provide professional results. millwakee is a excellent brand. it is very durable and engineered to be the simplest to use, hold, best result, etc. they aren’t the cheapest but often not the most expensive. they are also repairable in the event they break(i use them daily, for “heavy duty” carpentry and remodeling and have only had to fix things like a circular saw handle broke when dropped off a three tale roof)
    porter cable is in the same ballpark of price and quality usually

    dont listen to clyde, dewalt is millwakee’s “economy line” and they commonly are plastic pieces of shite

    CRAFTSMEN SUCK ! (they don’t have lifetime warr on power tools, YOU have to buy extended warr)
    it really depends on what you define as expensive ? also don’t get offended, but make sure you try them with batt installed, they tend to get pretty heavy for most women after a while, dewalt,porter cable,bosch,milwaukee all sell a fantastic 5 piece package pack that includes pretty much everything you need. its about $450 – $650..all fantastic. ryobi makes a clad set for your home, a lot less expensive and lighter in weight, i reflect you may like that brand.. the others are used by service provider (my power tools are porter cable my drill weighs over 6lbs just to give you an thought) all those are cordless too, feel free to email me if you have any more questions..

    Sears has a excellent circular saw with a laser guide. The more “amps” is better when discussing power.
    Dewalt has excellent product for drills, and the operative word for cordless drills is “volts”I have had 2 Craftsman drills-16 volt- that lasted 5 years of near daily use

    I have had my Black & Decker circular saw and drill for years. They are well priced. Sears Craftsman are usually more expensive but have a lifetime warranty. I have a 1/3 H.P. drill and have never found that I needed more horse power.

    Can’t disagree with Craftsman, just wait for huge sales or closeouts to get really fantastic deals.
    Recently I bought a house, and wanted to do some remodeling.
    I found a set of Hyundai, yep like the cars, power tools at Pep Boys.
    Kit includes a Circular saw; Sabre saw; Reciprocating saw; Work light; Drill with normal and hammer, adj clutch, reversing. Includes two battery packs and charger, blades, bits and carrying case. Five year over the counter warranty. $99 After discount, and they work really fantastic.
    I figured they had to be excellent for five years, and it would be a excellent way to learn about the tools by using them.
    Hope you have as much fun on your projects as I am.

    As a general service provider I have been exposed to many brands of tools. I like SKILSAW for a circular saw. If you are right handed be sure the blade is on the left side of the saw. This makes it simpler for you to see the line you are cold. Use carbide tipped saw blades. For a drill go cordless. I like DEWALT, 12 volt or 18 volt. Get two batteries so one can always be charging.
