What tool could you not live without doing DIY projects around the house?
Question:Also, if you had an extra $100, what tool would you splurge it on?
Answers:
My tool pouch. Without it I would never be able to find anything.
I noticed that several answers said don't cheap out on the battery powered drill. Thing is the battery costs so much when it comes time to replace it that it is cheaper to buy a new cheap drill that comes with a battery and charger.
$100 I would put a little with it and buy a mat cutting machine (picture framing)
I don't know that you could pick just one. I think back on all the jobs I've done and I can't think of one I could have done without more than one tool.
Hammer, tape measure, circular saw (or some sort of power saw), measuring tape, carpenter's square, drill, etc. have at been essential at some point.
Well, a descent one is more than $100, but if I could splurge right now, it would be for a table saw. It would be really nice for those long cuts instead of trying to do it with a circular saw.
My hammer- I'm a basics kind of girl... If I could splurge I would love to get a hand sander... Or a power saw- ahhh the dreams...
Too many to list, but my cordless drill probably gets the most use. If I only had a hundred bucks it would go on a sawzall
18 volt power drill, you can use it on so much.
And with an extra $100,I'd get one of those electrical testers where part of it goes to whatever circuit in the fuse box is damaged,so you can fix it.
ide say a hammer and to buy a tool it would have to be a cordless drill you can do lots with it i have a craftsmen 19.2 volt i paid 100 bux and its the best 100 i ever spent comes with bag 2 batteries charger ansd angle drill also get it at sears maybe 119 now though it well worth it
If I were just getting started, I would buy several hand tools.
Hammer, set of screw drivers, saws, wrenches. Basic stuff.
Then after a little use, you would know what power tools would be on your priority list for later.
If you have this stuff. get a cordless drill
And don't buy cheap crap, it will fail and it can be dangerous to use sometimes.
Hammer . $100.00 toward a handywoman to use it .
If I had an extra $100, I would find and buy a "left handed hammer". The right handed one keeps bending the nails when I hit the head. (I'm left handed)
Problems with right handed hammers..I have that problems with left handed screw drivers..
Duct Tape . @@@@@@@@@@@@@ Really!!
Seriously--there are way too many. IN regard to the 100.00 "Spurge Toy"---er I mean TOOL----I'd have to say---something for the yard!!
The tool could be me. I have the tools, and dirt---I just need the planting materials...i.e. geraniums, veggies, etc.
Yes, I am female. I really do know a great deal about tools when I am around them more and more. I've even mortared, sanded many a thing, doors, etc... painted, glossed-----ETC.Planted a HUGE Burning Red bush by myself..I house I had for sale.
Can't live without? Power drill.
Extra $100? Beautiful Japanese hand tools.
