Power Tool Magic - How the Right Tools Can Make Your Life Better

Whether you're a professional builder or carpenter, a seasoned amateur do-it-yourselfer or just someone who wants to handle his own home repairs and renovations, you'll appreciate that having the right power and hand tools is essential. Power tools are vital for quickly and effectively handling those jobs around the home and garden.

The term 'power tools' covers a wide range of implements from a simple electrical screwdriver up to a chainsaw. In fact if there's a job to be done in the home or the garden, there's probably a power tool to handle it.

The type of tools you'll need depends on the tasks at hand. For general home use, most people require hand tools for working with wood and masonry. The most important of these are drills and saws along with such items as planers and sanders.

Let's look at each of them in turn.

Drills are a key implement for a whole range of tasks from tightening screws to drilling holes in wood, metal and concrete. You'll need one of these for doing any kind of construction or repair work.

Power drills come in many types. Examples are right angle drills to allow you to work in tight spaces and hammer drills which feature a percussive action. A hammer drill, as the name suggests, is a drill with a hammering action. This action works to permit quicker, easier drilling by pounding the surface to be drilled like a jackhammer. It's mainly used to drill holes in stone or masonry.

The choice of drill bit depends on the task and it's a good idea to buy them as a set. Make sure the set contains a bit that can handle the material you'll be dealing with.

The next major power tool is the saw. Saws are separated into hand-held or table mounted. Table saws are recommended if you need to cut a lot of wood. They're ideal for handling plywood sheets, beams and planks.

Here are the main types of saws.

The mitre saw is a useful implement for cutting around the sides of your wood and other materials. It's perfect for making a quick, accurate crosscut in work pieces. Most are relatively small and portable. Blade sizes range from eight to 12 inches.

The jigsaw is perfect for getting round cuts and square cut outs used for cutting curves, such as stenciled designs, into wood or other materials. It allows the craftsman more artistic scope than other types of saw. In fact they were used to make the first jigsaw puzzles and hence the name. They are usually hand saws consisting of a handle attached to a thin blade.

Then there are circular saws which are mainly used for cutting wood. In fact, they can cut cleanly through a wide range of materials.

For external use, cutting trees and branches, for example, there are chain saws. These are usually driven by an internal combustion engine.

Other power tools for dealing with wood include planers and sanders which work to smooth the surface of the material. Also known as a jointer, a planer is used to get a flat surface along a board's length. A sander uses a sandpaper attachment to smooth wood.

One choice you'll need to make with power tools is whether to get corded or cordless. Cordless power tools offer the ultimate flexibility and freedom; you're not constrained by power lines. However, they do tend to heavier owing to battery weight and they're generally less powerful than the corded models. They usually take rechargeable batteries. It's a smart idea to have fully charged spare pack or two on hand to make sure your work is not delayed by the battery running out.

If you want to acquire the latest power tools and hand tools, you can find the country's best range of quality tools just a few mouse clicks away. By going online, you can find a vast range of tools from major reputable manufacturers such as A.E.G, Bosch, Stanley and Black & Decker to mention just a few.

In last months BBC Focus magazine there was an advert for a handheld power tool saw .. what was it ? !?

I am sure it was on the back page spread but can't remember and have lost my copy !
The saw looked like a circular saw but with a 2-3 inch blade and was held more like a power screwdriver ... I may be wrong on all this and have dreamt it but if anyone knows please help !!

Thank you

Was this it?
