Dave asked:


I’m looking to buy new cordless power tools where every tool uses the same battery and these are my two choices. What is your opinion? Got any better suggestions? Thanks!

I am fourteen years old, and I have used probably about a dozen power tools safely, and many times. I have become more interested in building, and have the money to buy a kit of the necessary power tools, but I cannot persuade my parents to allow me to have them, as they think power tools are not safe. Are there any statistics stating they are safe, or is there a way I can prove to them I know how to use these tools correctly?

I have inherited a collection of power tools including a jigsaw, two miter saws, a drill, a router and a belt sander. All but the router suffer from a mild to moderate case of rust. They are all still in fine working condition.

What is the best way to clean and polish them up for safe and proper use?

Lowa asked:


So far I’ve been looking at Sears and Home Depot for circular saws, table saws and sanders. We build our own custom furniture sporadically, but we’ve always borrowed tools so I think it’s time we get our own. What features should I look for and is there one brand that is much better quality?

I want to build a daybead, a TV stand and a desk. I’ve sketched out the designs, they are very simple with clean lines. A suggestion about what material/wood would be nice too. Thanks!

JFalcon asked:


As a fairly new homeowner, I’m finding lots of little things that need to be done. Minor repairs to the garage door, minor soffit and fascia damage, repairing doors and drywall, etc. I like to have the best tool for the job, but when it comes to cutting or finishing, there are several tools more adapted for a particular job. If one were to have the perfect toolbox (or perhaps toy box) with practical (not highly specialized) tools, what should it contain?
Well, I did specify power tools, but I suppose that mentioning other tools is fine as well. I already have a hammer, measuring tape, cordless drill and a fairly complete socket wrench set. What’s interesting is that ‘drill’ was mentioned more than once; aside from drilling holes, I assume that others use theirs for planting screws?

I will definitely need to cut wood, but don’t know if I necessarily need a table saw. I did like the suggestion of a reciprocating saw. For those who are suggesting tools, could you please also note what types of modifications and/or repairs for which they are most useful? Many thanks!

WhiteDove asked:


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!
