TweetPaslode 902000 a Cordless Electric Nail Gun that Can Handle Up To 2.5 Inch 16 Gauge Nails
Today we continue our listener voted on Tuesday shows, the poll for the current live voting is here, where you can vote on August’s Tuesday shows.
Today we look at power tools for the homestead. I want to be clear on that concept, for the homestead, not for the wood shop. Now there are tools that do belong in both locations, but I am talking day to day and project based homesteading stuff here, not cabinet making or something like that.
The tools I want to talk about today are the tools that I think should be on every homestead from small to large. The things you will find yourself using monthly if not weekly. It seems something always needs fixing or building on a homestead.
I will give some specific brand recommendations today and even some product specific links, but I want to be honest, most power tools today are quite well made and you generally get what you pay for. So don’t feel you have to be like me and bleed Dewalt yellow in your brand loyalty.
In the list I don’t make a big differentiation between cordless and plug in tools, in the show though I will talk a lot about the trade offs between each of them.
