Power drill is always worth having if you do housework

A Dremel is incredibly useful with many attachments that can fill a thousand different needs

• jigsaws (amzn link) are quite handy if you're messing around with plywood or thin sheet metal.

• cordless drill, pretty standard. I like the ones that use the regular chuck but have the option to go into the rotary hammer mode.

• multimeter. Kinda sorta technically a power tool lol. But kinda necessary if you do any electrical work. Or even just for checking car batteries or whatever.

Power drill Recip saw Small compressor for tires etc

If you do alot of diy Circular saw Shop vac

I guess it depends on your needs? What are you trying to accomplish? Is there a repetitive task that you are doing over and over again?

I think every house should have a decent drill and air compressor. After that, vibrating multi-tools can handle most other jobs, just sacrificing speed and accuracy.

None for gardening and landscaping.

For fence building yes. A circular saw and a drill. For pavers you need a water cooled tile saw with a diamond blade but that is a borrow or rent item if you can. A wire tracer is nice. We rented one.

Lot of people saying battery powered stuff. I take opposite view. No battery stuff unless you need it. Problem they are more expensive and your always charging and replacing batteries. Just less sustainable. No gas stuff either same reason.

A cordless electric ratchet is a game changer.

The only tool that I feel really revolutionizes your options in the yard is a quality power washer. Helps you restore junk to a perfectly usable state and makes things look amazing.

Also removes that slippery algae build up that can be a real Hazzard in the yard.
