Not only will having the appropriate tool get the job done right, but it will also save you precious time that you could use doing something else. With that in mind, here are a few intermediate power tools that every DIY’er should have on hand in order to be prepared for the majority of projects around the house.
Nail gun
A nail gun can really come in handy with projects that require brad or finish nails. This includes installing wall trim or moulding, and really anything that needs a fastener with a low profile. While nail guns come in all shapes and sizes, the easiest and most convenient ones to use are battery-powered. Along with the convenience of being cordless, these battery powered nail guns also eliminate the need for an air tank. The best part about nail guns is they are easy to use. Just install the correct nail that corresponds to the project and you are ready to go.
Rotary tool
The biggest strength of a rotary tool, like many of the other tools on this list, lies in its utility. When used with the right attachment, this tool can drill, sand, grind, sharpen, saw, rout, polish, clean, engrave, and carve a number of different kinds of material. They come in a number of different options including cordless, which makes this tool a perfect fit for just about any level of DIY project.
