At Home Magazine - Top 5 Power Tools for DIYEssential power tools for home use Before looking at our top 5 recomended list of essential power tools, we would first like to explain why we are recommending a cordless (battery powered) option. Battery operated tools can initially be more expensive than comparative AC mains powered tools, particularly when brought individually. However, if you plan on buying more than one tool you may find that purchasing a number of tools, that use a common interchangeable battery system, such as the Ryobi ONE+ range, could actually be more cost effective. Cordless tools also provide the added advantage of being safer to use (no trailing wires to get in the way) and can be used anywhere, as no power outlet is required to operate them. 1. Combination Hammer Drill The number one tool everyone uses for home DIY is the drill. The LCDI1802M combination drill provides an all-round option for drilling, driving and hammer drilling. 2. Screwdriver Although the combination drill can be used as a screwdriver, it can be awkward to use in tasks that required a more delicate touch, such as assembling flat pack furniture. 3. Jigsaw The most versatile power saw to use in the home is the jigsaw. They are easy to operate and a wide range of blade types a available for cutting different materials. 4. Power Sander Power sanders are very useful tools in the home and can save a lot of time and effort when finishing off projects or preparing surfaces for painting. 5. Multi-tool The most versatile of all the power tools and a great problem solving tool for a range of tasks including sanding, scraping and flush cutting. One+ Batteries and Charger All of the Ryobi ONE+ tools (except for the R4SD3-L13) can be powered from the same 18 volt ONE+ battery. |
