Being a homeowner is a significant milestone for many people, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. Since you own the property, it’s up to you to attend to maintenance concerns. This might require you to obtain power tools you didn’t own previously. The guide below looks at what you might need to have on hand for common repairs.

What Power Tools Should You Own?

1. Cordless Drill

This versatile tool often comes with a collection of drill bits that allows you to put holes into different types of materials. When it’s time for the next step, you can swap out the drill head for a screwdriver bit—allowing you to securely fasten items together quicker than doing it by hand.

2. Cordless Impact Driver

Impact drivers are similar to drills, except lighter and smaller. They have deceptively high torque though—so much so that they shouldn’t be used for precision work, nor are they as helpful when drilling holes. Instead, they are better suited for jobs like tightening and loosening bolts and nuts.

3. Cordless Saw

Handheld saws powered by electric motors allow you to make necessary cuts into wood without the restrictions of a large woodworking table. DIYers use this tool to do everything from building furniture to cutting new flooring.

4. Oscillating Multi-Tool

The head of this tool accepts different attachments, giving you the ability to perform precision sanding, grinding, and scraping. It is especially useful when removing grout.
