Pretty good for anything that can kill you if it fails. Even beyond power tools.

So, for example, yes to drill. No to compressors, jacks, etc.

For jacks I always assume that it can break at any moment. That is why I put the spare tire under the car when I have the car lifted. If the jack breaks, the car will fall on the tire and not on my face.

Jack stands too. But not harbor freight ones

That’s pretty good advice, thanks.
