Motorized tools are used throughout the world making it possible for basically anyone to try doing things that they may not have tried in the past.
Since the ancient Egyptians began using a hand-powered lathe centuries ago, man has striven to make arduous building and assembling tasks easier, quicker, and more efficient through power tools. We've come a long way from those sand-covered turning machines, but the end goal is no different from our desert-dwelling ancestors. Today, nearly every home in every industrialized country houses and uses power tools.
Another example are saws. There are many types like circular saws, reciprocating saws, jig saws, band saws, cut-out tools, multi-tools, and chain saws to choose from depending on your needs. Here again there is a saw that fits the needs of different situations. If you use the proper one for the job, you will spend less time on the job and not have to do more work to clean a rough job up afterwards. Believe it or not I have seen some folks do demolition work with a chain saw and ruin the chain when it hit nails, whereas, a reciprocating saw with the right blade would cut through that like butter.
The electric drill was regarded by most as the first powered hand tool. The first electric drill was patented in Australia on 20th August 1889 an attributed to Arthur James Arnot. This first drill was primarily intended for heavy industrial use and was invented before most communities were even supplied with electricity. In 1917, Black and Decker introduced and patented the pistol grip and also the trigger switch familiar on most products available today. This was the basis of the modern electric drill and later models were soon shipped in thousands. 1961 saw the first battery powered drill and as technology improves and prices fall we are now in a position where the battery powered drills have taken over from the corded big brother.
Another way is to buy a 'bundle' of tools together; this may also be referred to as a 'combo' deal or package. This is when two or more tools are boxed together with a certain amount of savings. This savings increases with the number and types of pieces included. One thing to think about here is which tools are ones that you will actually put to use; if you never use one of these tools, you are wasting your money on its purchase. You could think ahead as to what projects that you will be doing; many of the specialty tools can actually save you valuable time by doing special jobs quicker, more efficiently, and with higher quality results. Take the reciprocating saw. You could use another type of saw depending what materials you would be working with like a hack saw, keyhole saw, or a general hand saw, but by using the reciprocating saw, the job is done in no time with a much cleaner cut. Another example is the rotary hammer which is excellent to use when you work with a project dealing with concrete. You may want to drill in some holes which would take forever using other means. See how much time and money you can save with this tool. Yes, you could go out and rent one, but if you have it right in your power tool box, then you save the time, gas, and money it takes you to run off your job to rent one. So think about those projects that you have coming up in the future. These combo deals can be anywhere from a couple of tools to fifteen tools or more. There are many different assortments of the tools within these different combos to pick from, so choose the one which fits your needs. The battery-powered tool bundles usually come with several batteries and a charger or two depending on the size of the bundle. This way of buying tools can save you a bundle in the long run and resulting in you always having the right tool for the right job on hand.
