I don’t have any tools at home except for a few screwdrivers and hammers ect… I’d like to go out and buy at least the basics for minor repairs around the house also projects and hobbies. What brands are best? Can I get a kit or combo of power tools for a good price? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

I always hear commercial’s on the radio from stores that sell hand crafted furniture made my Amish, and Mennonite craftsman. Something makes me think they dont use power tools for building because i figure they do things strictly with their hands since their old fashioned.
I just had this thought after i thought of the movie Kingpin.

I am looking for power tools i live in Fall River, MA USA , I need power tools for some home projects .I need some good shop that provide it in low cost and may be relible .

In the near future I want to start making wood crafts and sell them at craft shows just as a side job. It’s something I’ve always been interested in and I want to get an idea on how much it would cost me to get it started by making a list of power tools & machinery I would need. I already have an idea of what I might need but maybe more experienced people can name something I haven’t thought of.

In your Opinion, what is the best kind of power tool I should get to help me out with my basement laminate floor installation?
Thanks
alot.

I’m new at buying tools and I usually borrow but now I’d like to buy my own. I really love carpentry and I plan to do quite a bit of projects once I have power tools. I’de like to start out by buying a circular saw and a drill. what brands and types do you recomend that are not to expensive, will do a good job, and will last a pretty long time? and if you can, which brands and types should I stay away from?

He has several types of big saws, and all the little power tools-drills, dremels (sp?), power sanders and the like. He is good at woodworking, but I don’t think he has many woodworking type tools. Any guy or girl out there who enjoys working with tools, what tools are you glad you own, or what tools are on your wish list??

Thanks!

Inherited a set of Bosch power tools from my dad, I can’t seem to lock drill bits on to the tool. Any clues?

My brother wants to know. He’s interested in trying this out as a hobby and now I’m curious. What types of tools would you need? How difficult would it be? Is it much different than building with power tools?
