I went a bit nuts when we moved in to the new house. Never had anything but a few janky mismatched tools. I’m pretty sure the first couple months I single handedly hit Lowes monthly sales goals. I was buying new tools weekly. Drills, saws, screwdriver sets, wrench sets, electrical stuff, whatever I felt like I needed.
I use the DeWalt brand. 20v Max Brushless power drill / impact driver. The sander, circular saw, and reciprocating saw all plug in though. I figured I would use them a lot less and the batteries would naturally drain before I’d use them. For a very casual home user it’s all overkill for sure. But I should never have to replace anything.
I would have went with the Craftsman brand if they had re-launched it before I was buying everything. Just because it’s red, and I like red. Whoever inherits my tools is going to think I bought them all weeks before death. Virtually unused.
