Your favorite tool expert, Country Paint & Hardware owner Earl, is back with another trusted tool recommendation. If you are looking to stock your household toolbox or garage with the best tools available, Earl knows what you need. There's a reason local homeowners and contractors trust Earl's recommendations - it's because he gives honest and real advice to help you get the job done right. A few good power tools, and you can face most projects with confidence.
Earl's favorite power tool is the Master Mechanic cordless drill kit, because of its versatility and ease of use. He believes everyone needs a quality drill in their toolbox. Since they are used for drilling holes and driving in screws or small fasteners, and they work on wood, plastic, or metal, drills come in handy for a variety of projects - especially if you have a good set of different bit types. You will find yourself using a power drill for everyday tasks like drilling holes to hang a bathroom mirror or new piece of artwork, assembling and building furniture, and even tackling bigger projects like building a new deck. No matter what you are working on, a good power drill gives you precision, power, and convenience.
Earl prefers this drill because it is compact, allowing you to work in tight spaces for long periods of time. It has an ergonomic handle, so you can rest assured you'll have a comfortable grip and full control over the drill at all times. The variable speed trigger switch with brake, 2 speeds, 24 torque settings, and the LED work light are all features that make your job safer and easier.
This drill is cordless and, as a bonus, it has a nice nylon carrying tote. This means the drill is free to go wherever you go, for any project, without worrying about having an outlet nearby or dragging an extension cord around. With two Samsung batteries that have a quick one hour charging time, you know that your drill will always be charged and ready to go, even when faced with an unexpected project.
To make sure your toolbox, garage, or workshop are fully prepared for any task that might arise, Earl also recommends a few other important power tools:
