Ruidoso on Oct 16, 2016I agree with the others about the basics. When I run into a problem, my hubs will eventually come up with a better idea......Don't feel that WE will neglect you. If in doubt, ASK! W-E-L-C-O-M-E-!Helpful Reply

Beverly Kulju on Oct 16, 2016Besides the basics in this link shown there are a number of companies Dewalt, Makita and Ryobi for sure that make a series of tools that utilize the same battery pack so you have cordless drills, drivers, saw sander and all-in-one tools for whatever light maintenance job you have. These are not heavy duty tools but work well for most home maintenance project and are light weight enough to use for extended period of time without fatigue. I personally have the Ryobi and love them even have a hedge trimmer which makes my gardening work easier also Just remember to always clean your tools after use and they will serve you well for years to come. (The Ryobi sets are at Home Depot only)Helpful Reply

Marge on Oct 16, 2016You could probably use a table saw or at least a jig saw. I use an electric sander for wood, dry wall patching. etc. I have a drill press that makes vertical holes without having to hold the drill in place. I used this for drilling into wood or steel. A miter box and a hand saw might be helpful too. What are you planning on making?Helpful Reply

Ljgordon on Oct 16, 2016My wife has refinished old furniture and has a palm sander, and a sander with a triangular shaped head. It used hook and loop to attach the various grits of sandpaper. If need I have a 4 X 24" belt sander. Black and Decker makes a 7 1/4" saw. Blades can be changed for what you need to cut.Helpful Reply

Stephen Scott Johnson on Nov 21, 2016Unless you need really precise cuts, a basic jig saw can do a lot. Easy to use and doesn't take up space. For smaller width pieces where you're just crosscutting, a basic miter saw is a great tool and doesn't take up a huge space. For sanding, you probably need a small to medium sized orbital sander, depending on how big is the area to be sanded. As someone mentioned, if you go the battery route, stick with the same tool brand to easily change out batteries. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply
