Many people don t take that into consideration. Try the models on display in the store. If the tool feels heavy, imagine how much more so it is going to get when you have been operating it for several minutes? Some of the smaller hand tools are designed to get into very small spaces, but if you have large hands it may not work well for you. The on/off switch being in a location that isn t convenient or easy to get to in the event of an emergency is the most common complaint. With saws, the most common complaint for left handed people is that the blade is on the right hand side which makes it difficult for them to operate. The left handed individual has two choices hold it the wrong way and hope the cut ends up being straight or face it the other way around with the blade coming at you and the materials coming at you. There are several hundred bits you can choose from. A common accessory is a router table. They are great for trying to router very small parts, as they hold everything securely in place for you. Routers are often quite loud, so make sure you wear ear plugs. They can also result in large amounts of dust particles in the air depending on the type of material you are working with. This will give you more control when you are using it for various projects. One speeds do work well, but sometimes it will take you longer when you are doing a project. If the speed it too fast for the particular project then you can damage your project. Different sized drills can handle a project better than others. Consumers enjoy the convenience of being able to use them anywhere without having to worry about a power supply. It is also nice not have to worry about the cords being in your way, especially when an extension cord was needed to get it to the right length. As most consumers are aware, convenience is always more expensive. Of course, the purchase price is something we are all going to look at. It doesn t matter how great of a power tool is, if it is too much for the budget then it can t even be considered. Most power tools are reasonably priced but you are going to run across some heavy duty, top of the line power tools that have a price tag to reflect it.
