8 Must-Have Power Tools For DIY And Woodworking
These are the first 8 essential power tools you need if you are new to woodworking or have DIY projects you want to get done. Whether you’re building in a garage shop or starting a backyard project you’ll find these tools super helpful. A drill is an indispensable tool that you almost can’t do without. Table saws, jig saws, and circular saws can sometimes be interchangeable but you’ll need at least one of them. A sander is a fairly inexpensive tool that will save you time and help you achieve a smoother finish. A router is probably the last of these tools you need but once you have one you’ll wonder how you went without one for so long. Pick a tool brand you like when choosing cordless tools so you can use one type of battery. Right now I’m a big fan of Milwaukee tools but there are lots of good brands like Makita, Dewalt, Bosch, Rigid, Ryobi, and more.

Awesome, dude has a 100k tool workshop! Thanks for the ideas on what tools to get for home use
I 3d printer and you could easily make a hose adapter or diverter for that jig saw. like 20 minutes in cad software.
Milwaukee are decent for diy and light construction. In an industrial environment, Milwaukee doesn’t hold up. I worked in a factory years ago, Milwaukee drills died more than all the brands we used. Bosch on the other hand were so strong and reliable.
He should have replaced ur saw and kept the one he cut thru the cord .
MultyTool ..
so whats new?
What you mean you not a fanboy??? Does that mean that I’m the only fanboy of Hilty, Milwaukee, Festool/Maffel whaaaaat I feel so deceived 😂😂😂
Amazing video! Thanks man! Very informative and easily understood by DIY newbies (like me). 😁👍🏼
👍👍👏👏💪💪
Thank you! Great video!
What about the 20v lithium series vs 18v?
Hey Haxman, I’m glad to have landed on your channel. I want to buy these tools, but I’m a newb. So I was looking at an INGCO cordless drill on their official website, but the website doesn’t mention a 1 inch chuck. All it says is "Chuck Capacity: 0.8 – 10mm chuck" even on the 20V drills. How do I tell if this is the one with the right chuck?
You need a M12 Cordless Bandsaw. You will never use your jigsaw as a hacksaw again.
Haha, if drilling holes with an impact driver were illegal, they would not make drill bits with hex shanks. Just sayin’ bro. Teach these kids right.
Wow what A nice video I love your channel thank you
Hi , a bit late but I wanted to say this : in Europe we have all 3 tipes of drill in 1 , it comes from the manufacturer most of them. You just select what you want to do with it with that "clutch" . I was always wondering why you need 2 drills . Thanks for the video.
Well done presentation. Thank you.
The router is the most dangerous tool in the shop. Every other tool has some safety features. If you don’t believe me, turn on any machine in the shop by plugging it in with it on. You’ll go to any tool but the 20thousand rpm spinning wheel of death is intimidating.
And the blades break
How about nailers?
Thanks for the info! I have every one of those except a track saw and table saw. I don’t think I’ll ever get a track saw, and not enough room for a table saw unless I build another shed for my growing assortment of DIY and lawn maintenance tools.
One thing that should be mentioned- don’t be confused by the 20v nonsense. It’s the same as the 18v. One is total capacity, the other is nominal.
Festool is definitely for professionals.
Expensive, but made to be used by people who work all day on the construction job.
German construction workers use Festool, when the are self-employed. They write the expensive price off from the income taxes, so they go for the most expensive tool brand 😁
Bosch is for consumers, in Germany. It melts If you work for 12 hours a day, while Festool does not.
When I was framing houses back in the day (25 years ago). We would always get guys that didn’t own their own tools. I had a brand new Skill worm drive saw and one of those guys would pick it up and use it even though it was generally frowned upon to use anyone else’s tools that were not provided by the boss. This jackass cut the cord off the saw 3 times in 3 days! I made him buy me a new cord each time and after the last time I told him if he touched my saw again we were going to have a big problem, lol. I still have that saw and it’s still got that last cord on it, haha.
Finally a tool show that isn’t a Snap On advertisement!
You’re great
Great video! Thanks for the clear and concise explanation of tools.
I have links for the tools I use in the video description guys. Here is the M12 combo I highly recommend: https://amzn.to/3sJ385f Thanks for watching!
It IS Ryy-O-bee.
Invest in a push stick for your table saw!
This was awesome! Thank you for the great info.
Dude looks like Handsome Jack off Borderlands 2 😂
Thanks for the information, very welll done. So far the only regret is I bought a stationary chop ( Miter) saw.
Many thanks for this video–Very relevant and funny, too.
You have discussed exactly where a complete beginner needs to start. The tools and equipment!
I got a 30 dollar black and decker jigsaw that works pretty good 😆. Doesn’t blow sawdust in my face that’s for sure
So I have a couple must have tools, drill and circular saw in DeWalt brand 12v and tools I don’t anticipate as much use from in the Bauer brand 20v. I know, two different battery systems but I can’t see paying top dollar for every tool I might ever need around the house and I have a fixer upper I’m living in. I’ve got a reciprocating saw I’ve used for branches and tree limbs, but anticipate some demo work, jig saw, 6¼ cordless circular, oscillating tool, and anticipate getting the compound miter saw, grinder, sander, and who knows what else I may need. Both brands are a mix of corded and cordless. So far all the Bauer’s have been just as good as my DeWalt’s as far as performance.
I have a festool track saw and I have the 36v Makita track saw and tend to grab the Makita saw.
Maybe it’s just me and the people around me but the impact driver seems like the drill most people are choosing if they have to pick a regular drill vs impact. Your reasoning for not drilling holes with the impact driver? Because there’s a little play in it over the drill driver? I just know plenty of people that use the impact for everything
I am about to be a first-time homeowner and thought about all kinds of projects for the back and front yard, even a backyard kitchen, play, and gazebo area combined more or less, still working out how to do that without making a whole other building. The idea is just making a fun and comfortable place for the summer and fall months.
Drill, impact driver, random orbit sander, jigsaws, circular saw, router, mitre saw, table saw
Only reciprocating saw, and impact drill
Circular Saw: "I’m the most dangerous tool you’ll use", table saw says: "Hold My Beer"
Blue Bosch Jigsaws is great.
18V *is* 20V
The tool that is never used is a plunge router. Should have got the baby one. And without a table you will not bother with it.
The impact driver is a need!!!
Dude they don’t makes drill bits hex at the end to not use on a impact if ur drilling all day a drill will where u out where a impact will make it safe and easy just gotta use the right size impact for the job
Impact driver is totally essential, especially when they come in combos with drills. Can even buy a chuck for impacts.
I disagree…..I think and at least for me….. my impacts are JUST as important as a good drill!!!!! And I think having both 12 and 18 volt tools is also very important…especially for all those diff jobs that come up….I find it extremely useful having both
yikes, the sawstop price is up 100%
I have been using Milwaukee for a few years now and I almost exclusively use my impact drivers for drilling and driving. It is common to find drill bits with the 1/4 drive. In some cases it is harder to find the "traditional" drill bits in the areas I shop.
I don’t know what hook and loop is. We all call it velcro.
It’s like Candlestick Park. Oricale never paid me for naming rights so the people who got paid get to change the name. To me, it’s Candlestick.
