Saws are also one of the most dangerous power tools out there because of the sharp blades and the shear power they have. Saws are also used to cut down limbs and firewood. Routers are one of the neatest power tools, in my opinion. They are great for detail work on trim or to make unique designs. You can create wonderful works of art with a router and some various accessories. That can keep you from purchasing the power tool kit with accessories, then you may wish you had them down the road. Take some time to research the power tool you wish to purchase. Find out about the various accessories available and their use. Drill bits are accessories you will have to purchase based on what you will be using the drill for as well as the materials you are drilling. For larger tasks, consider using a coil power nailer. They hold up to 300 nails at a time. It is very important that you use the proper power nailer for your particular project. It is best to select a power nailer that is versatile, unless you have specific ongoing use for a particular type of power nailer. For some power tools, it is a good idea to wear steel toed boots while operating them. Some power tools are very loud. You will want to wear ear plugs or other ear protection. Hearing loss is a serious issue, and you should do all you can to maintain your current hearing level. A respirator is a good idea if you will be working with any power tool that creates dust including sanders and routers. How do you know if you should purchase a name brand power tool or a discount brand? Ask yourself how likely it is going to be for you to use that particular power tool in the future. If you are buying it for one specific project and don t think you will use it again, then you can purchase a lower quality power tool for the project. This is especially important if you are working at an angle where the dust is coming directly down on you, such as overhead sanding. You can also choose to purchase a dust bag for the sander. Wearing long sleeves is a good idea as well. Some of the products you may be sanding could have chemicals or the paint could contain lead.
