5 Must Have Power Tools for Every Toolbox

With so many power tool options on the market today, it can be quite difficult to sort out what you truly need from what you think you need (or want). Whether you've been building and woodworking for dozens of years, or are a new homeowner in need of a few power tools to fill your toolbox and complete some minor repairs and projects around the house, the latest such tools can make even the most seasoned professional squirm. In order to help you sort the "needs" from the "don't needs", we've compiled a list of the Top 5 Power Tools for Every Toolbox:

18 Volt Power Tools

1. Drill and Driver Combo- a handheld, triggered power tool with a gripping chuck that rotates while attached to either a drill bit (metal rod with spiraling grooves used to bore holes), or an attachment to hold either a phillips-head (X-shaped tip) or flat edged screwdriver bit. This combination allows anyone to drill a hole, anchor a wall and hang a picture, shelf, or curtain in no time flat.

18 Volt Power Tools

2. Circular Saw- a heavy-duty cutting tool that uses round (circular) blades with saw teeth around the outside edge. This blade rotates on a spindle and can be easily changed to cut just about any surface, from masonry to wood to metal. Since the blade is significantly larder than a jigsaw (and usually cuts much faster), a circular saw is typically used for rough or straight-line cutting larger objects. This power tool is available in both a hand-held and table-mounted (stationary) versions to suit your specific needs.

3. Jigsaw- This classic power tool is used for cutting sharp curves, points, or complex patterns into a piece of wood or other type of surface. The thin blade of a jigsaw moves up and down, yielding the flexibility necessary to cut stenciled design and other patterns as details for any project.

4. Laser Level- Even though some may argue that such a tool is not "power" by definition, the laser portion of the tool does in fact require power to work. The primary difference between this type of level and a spirit and/or pendulum style is the laser's precision accuracy in indicating the leveled line against a surface.

5. Impact Wrench- This power tool is commonly used to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts on a variety of everyday items. It uses electricity or air in which repeated blows of tiny hammers generate torque to tighten (or loosen) such fasteners. Instead of the more common hand-held wrench, an impact wrench will add longevity to all of your projects and household items. Instead of consistently tightening nuts and bolts that loosen up over time, an impact wrench will securely tighten them the first time, alleviating any concerns of losing bolts and someone being injured in the process.

Fast, Powerful Hammer drill with Three-Speed Transmission
Built to deliver fast, dependable results, the DCD950 XRP 18-Volt Cordless Hammer Drill/Drill/Driver delivers 450 unit watts out for effective drilling and fastening in a wide variety of materials. Its patented, three-speed, all-metal transmission matches the drill's performance to the task at hand for efficiency, improved run time, and reduced wear and tear on the tool's motor.

This tool also offers a heavy-duty, 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck with bit-gripping strength. When placed in hammer drill mode, the tool delivers 8,500 to 34,000 beats per minute for making holes in masonry. In addition, an LED work light near the trigger provides increased visibility when you're working in dark or confined spaces. The tool's well-balanced body and mid-handle, comfortable grip help keep you in control.

Circular Saw with Carbide-Tipped Blade
Able to deliver speeds up to 3,700 rpm for fast rip cuts and cross cuts, the DEWALT DC390 XRP 18-Volt Circular Saw is both versatile and durable. The 0 to 50-degree bevel capacity provides cutting solutions in a broad range of applications. The saw comes equipped with a 6-1/2-inch carbide-tipped blade and offers an impressive capacity at both 90 degrees (2-7/16-inches) and 45 degrees (1-5/8-inches). This means it can cut two-by-fours at a 45-degree angle in a single pass.

Other design highlights include a fan-cooled motor with replaceable brushes and a high-strength, all-metal shoe and upper guard.

Reciprocating Saw with Four-Position Blade Clamp
Quick, versatile, and ready for a range of cutting applications, the DC385 XRP 18-Volt Reciprocating Saw offers a stroke length of 1-1/8 inches, variable speed control ranging from 0 to 3,000 spm, and a four-position blade clamp that allows flush cutting.

This saw offers an anti-slip comfort grip for increased control and reduced user fatigue. Other key features include an adjustable pivoting shoe and trigger lock for repeat cutting. For added convenience, the blade clamp features an easy-to-operate lever that allows for quick, keyless blade changes.

Compact, Heavy-Duty Impact Driver
The DC825 18-Volt Impact Driver is capable of delivering 1,330 inch-pounds of torque. Its variable-speed trigger allows you to select speeds from 0 to 2,400 rpm. Also, the driver delivers 0 to 2,700 impacts per minute for quick results with minimum effort.

In addition, this impact driver's frameless motor features replaceable brushes for improved durability and extended tool life. A durable magnesium gear case and an all-metal transmission also contribute to the tool's durability. Additionally, the driver's heavy-duty impact mechanism directs torque to the fastener without kickback.

Versatile Cut-Off Tool
Delivering up to 6,500 rpm, the DC411 18-Volt Cut-Off Tool makes quick work of a variety of cutting and grinding tasks. Its low-profile gear case and jam-pot design provide precise gear alignment for smooth, quiet transmission and also allow the tool to fit in tight spaces. A quick-change, wheel release provides fast, tool-free wheel removal.

This cut-off tool also features a convenient trigger switch and detachable two-position side handle for comfort and control. This DEWALT cordless cut-off tool includes Type 1 and Type 27 guards.

High-Powered Floodlight with Flexible Neck
Rounding out this Cordless Four-Tool Kit is a powerful DW919 18-Volt Floodlight. This heavy-duty light features an easy-to-replace XENON bulb that can light up any crawl space, electrical panel, or hard-to-see area. The flexible neck can be wrapped around a two-by-four, pipe, or virtually anything else on the job site. Additionally, the light can be pointed at your work area, so you can work with both hands. Run time is approximately three hours on a newly charged 18-volt XRP battery.

XRP Extended-Life Battery System
Two XRP Ni-Cad extended run time batteries keep all of these tools running at optimum levels. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard Ni-Cad batteries. Additionally, any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your toolkit. Also, the one-hour Ni-Cad charger helps maintain power to your packs all day long.

The Six-Tool Combo Kit features a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.
