Dewalt 1 2 Drill
1) The screwdriver in cordless form: Most of the time it is the small jobs that take up most time. Having a screwdriver which is cordless is great for these small jobs which don't need too much power. Especially good for jobs like drilling holes beforehand, putting up heavy items for hanging on walls, putting together furniture with screws, as well as drilling holes for hanging picture frames, these cordless screwdrivers also come with a special switch which is reversible. That way you can pull out the screw if you're not happy with the placement!
2) The Drill in cordless form: Some projects may need you to drill more holes than average. For such purposes a cordless drill works best. If you don't need to change screws in between the drilling and screwdriving sessions, then the cordless drill comes in handy. Especially useful for pivot hole making on top of screws, the standard size for a cordless drill is around 3/8th of an inch. If you want a commercial type variety then you will need a much larger size than this.
3) Drill with cord: If there are too many holes to be drilled out then a corded drill works fine. While a normal cordless drill lacks adequate power to drill so many holes, the corded version is great for this purpose. If the length of the cord is lesser than needed, you can always add an extension cord to it! Great to reach those hard to spot places!
4) The Jig Saw tool: If there are many tight and tough cuts in an area in the house, this jig saw will come to the rescue. If you need to make detailed cuts around places like edges of cabinets or close fitting places then a jig saw works best!
5) The power saw in circular form: A hand saw can be tough on your hands. In such cases a power circle shaped saw works best. Easy on the hands, these saws accomplish easy cuts more efficiently. Especially good for big 2x4 cuts or for large lumber sheets and particle boards, the power circular saws are able to cut to depths of almost 3 inches. You can cut especially thick sized boards without any second cut needed. Thus this tool is best for home jobs that need remodelling.

About Makita's 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series
As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18-Volt LXT lithium-in cordless series. Five years after its debut, Makita's LXT series has grown from 7 to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18-volt compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size.
Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging system provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18-volt NiCad batteries, Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries have 40 percent less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.
