Power Tools

The new dishwasher fits, but the cabinet trim blocks it by half an inch. An oscillating multi-tool can make that awkward cut without dismantling the surrounding woodwork. Power Tools covers drills, impact drivers, circular saws, jigsaws, sanders, grinders, and other motor-driven equipment for cutting, fastening, shaping, and smoothing. More power is not always the answer. Blade selection, speed control, dust extraction, and a tool’s weight can matter just as much, especially during long or confined jobs. Understanding those differences helps you match the machine to the task while keeping cuts controlled and surfaces intact.
