The Essential Power Tool for Ladies

Power Tool for Ladies

It's a known running joke that odd jobs never get done because the man of the house can't do them without the proper power tools (which he hasn't bought yet!) Most women, on the other hand, have never met a nail they couldn't hammer with the heel of a shoe, or a screw that would stand up to a nail file. I'm no exception. My tool box consists of one Phillips head screwdriver, two flat screwdrivers and a lady's hammer. Even so, whenever I actually need to unscrew something (like a computer case) I most often grab a butter knife from the kitchen. Why fuss with tools?  Still, even I must admit there are some power tools that make impossible jobs easy as pie.

Here are a few things to consider when purchasing one:

Floor vs. Bench-Top Model:  A floor model is set directly on the floor while the bench-top model of a drill press is set on a table top. The floor models are typically better buys with more accessories and attachments and are able to handle larger projects than the bench-top models. The floor model is always a good pick unless you are looking for something that is a bit more compact to save space for a smaller shop.
