TomP, I thought about buying a Dremel for years; just wasn't sure I'd use it enough to be worth it. I guess I was right to not spend the money; got my first one for Christmas last year./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif And it really is a handy little tool.

Bird,
I noticed your new business down at Empire Farm Days../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Richard,
Just one more vote for the cordless drill. I'm partial to panasonic, but dewalt and makita are also awsome. I'd go 12 or 14 volt. Cowboydoc and John Miller III must have stronger arms than I do or are building decks in their spare time.

Speaking about drills, any one besides me, who is just a home handyman and not a pro, have a hole hawg?? Talk about a powerful handheld drill!

I vote for the cordless drill.

Todd, don't have a hole hawg but do have a milwaukee 90 degree 1/2 in drill. Have to be careful when using it that I don't crush myself. It's a little powerful and more than a little heavy.

Re: "Best" first tool

Guess it's been said to death already, but of all the power tools I have (and I have plenty), my 14V Makita cordless drill is my numero uno.

I have a pretty good wood shop (plus a metal lathe) at home, and I now have my dad's fabulous wood shop up at the property, but the one tool I carry back and forth between them is the Makita. It makes so many jobs a pleasure rather than a chore, I just can't be without it.

Oh, my dad left me a fine collection of cordless drills -- no batteries, just lots of elbow grease. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Re: \"Best\" first tool

I beg to differ. Best first tools are WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should - WD-40.

Now there's a man after my own toolbox......my entire toolbox.

Re: \"Best\" first tool

I agree with the cordless drill.
Get the dewalt 18V. This is a great tool!
