Top Ten Power Tools Every Man Should Have

I'd recommend an 18 volt cordless drill that comes with a battery charger and a lifetime warranty.
Great for everything from drilling pilot holes to putting screws in to hang your pictures.

Not everyone will be building a house by hand and luckily, a circular saw isn't built for that. Whether it be cutting bookshelves to size or cutting scrap wood to fit in the trash, a circular saw is your tool. Look for an electric plug in.

While not traditionally a "tool" in the building sense of the word, I think it counts because any project you do will probably leave waste behind. You could spend your time brushing it away or you could flip a switch and resolve the problem. Plus, you never know when you'll need to clean up something wet that spills.

It sounds industrial but really isn't. If you get a pancake style with a no oil motor then they are super easy to operate. You'll find yourself using it for topping off your car tires, re-inflating your bike tires, and possibly using with other pneumatic tools.

For those of you who like building things and or having some custom shelves to organize your other tools or items, a table saw is the one for you. It cuts a cleaner, straighter line than a handheld circular saw and is much better for ripping timber.

Any time you need a flat surface or a smooth edge this baby will come to the rescue. Get an electric one as the cordless type don't last very long.

This is what the Fire Department uses to help cut you out of a car. Not that you'd be using it for that but you can cut through just about anything when you need to.

These aren't just for your blue-collar machine shop workers anymore. These presses come in handy any time you need a clean hole cut through just about any material.

If you need to cut an interior space out of a material, this is the item for you. More versatile than using a jigsaw and more versatile than a drill press.
