Drills

There are a variety of drills on the market right now, each offering benefits for different kinds of projects. Corded drills, for instance offer the benefit of not having to worry about your power pack being discharged before your project is complete. Cordless drills are more portable and you don't have to struggle with lugging around a power cord to wherever you need to drill a hole. Both drills will allow you to use screwdriver bits, but it is important to have a variable-speed drill if you will be using them as screwdrivers. Hammer drills, on the other hand, provide downward hammering thrust as the drill, allowing you to drill more quickly through tough materials like concrete.

There are a variety of sanders on the market and each has a unique purpose and place when completing DIY projects. Detail sanders are excellent for finished carpentry and small areas. They provide a smooth final finish to surfaces before painting or staining. Belt sanders are great for larger areas and for taking off more surface debris. Belts are available at a variety of coarseness levels allowing you to gradually smooth out rough-cut lumber to an even finish. Random orbit sanders use a circular motion during the sanding process to avoid some of the gouges that can be created by the back-and forth motion used with other types of equipment. They are excellent choices for smoothing out large areas and for larger finished carpentry work. Multi sanders are typically used for finished work. They come with a variety of attachments to help the handyman smooth challenging areas such as inside corners and unique moulding designs.
