Power tools can be a big help with just about any home improvement project and a lot of fun to use as long as proper safety precautions are followed. If you’re like many DIYers, you may never have an opportunity to use your tools for a big job such as a home addition or building a garage, but there are plenty of smaller projects around the home that should allow you to get plenty of experience using your entire power tool collection.
One home upgrade job that should provide the opportunity to sharpen your skills of using power tools is adding interior trim to various rooms throughout your home and it may even increase the house’s value when the time comes to sell. The best types of power tools to have in your workshop for such kind of projects would be small and portable. However, welding is one job that should be left to professionals as it requires dealing with high temperatures, high intensity light, higher risk and hard to use welding power tools.
Some of the basic power tools to take note of are as follows:
- Miter Saw
- Finish Nailer
- Cordless Jigsaw
- Cordless Circular Saw
- Cordless Drill
- Orbital Sander
- Cordless Impact Driver
