Why power tools are worth it
Power tools turn slow, tiring jobs into quick, easy ones. Whether you're a homeowner doing occasional fixes or a tradesperson, a small set of the right tools covers almost everything. Here's where to start.
A drill machine — the must-have
The single most useful power tool. A drill bores holes in walls, wood, and metal, and (with a driver bit) drives screws. For Indian walls, choose one with a hammer mode for concrete and brick.
An angle grinder
For cutting, grinding, and polishing metal, tiles, and stone. Incredibly versatile in a workshop, and useful for many home renovation jobs too. Choose the right disc for each material.
A cordless screwdriver/driver
Lighter and faster than a drill for driving screws, perfect for furniture assembly and repeated fixing. Cordless means freedom to work anywhere.
A jigsaw or circular saw
For cutting wood and boards. A jigsaw handles curves and detailed cuts; a circular saw makes fast, straight cuts. Pick based on the work you do.
A heat gun (handy extra)
For removing old paint, bending PVC, and loosening stuck fittings — a surprisingly useful tool for renovation jobs.
Don't forget the accessories
