How To
DIY 101
DIY 101
Power tools
by Scott Wilson
Every well-stocked workshop needs a number of power tools to
get projects completed accurately and professionally; however,
just which tools you need depends on what jobs you are planning
to do. Over the next few pages, we take a look at some of the tools
you may have, want or need in your workshop – and some that
may be completely irrelevant but are still very cool.
The basics
Circular saw
Every workshop needs one of these. Depending on what
type of job you have in mind, or whether you want a useful
all-purpose circular saw, you can choose something high-
powered with a large blade, or go for something more
middle-of-the-road (and budget friendly) with a slightly
smaller blade.
Cordless drill/driver
There is a huge range available and they have come a
long way from their market release in the 1980’s. In
some cases, it may even pay to have two – one set up to
drill and one to drive screws. Grab a spare battery, so you
can charge one while using the other.
Electric drill
A good electric drill will be able to handle more demanding
work for longer periods of time than a battery drill.
There’s no need to wait for the battery to charge as well;
just plug it in and away you go.
Increased power and torque mean corded drills to handle
bigger bits and tackle tasks like drilling concrete.

Jigsaw
Belt sanders are designed to remove a considerable
amount of material and can quickly do a lot of damage
to the surface of a project if used by someone unaware.
Such a handy little tool, a jigsaw is ideal for getting into
those places inaccessible with a circular saw. They feature
changeable blades for working on different materials:
perfect for cutting out holes in panels for power points,
plumbing ixtures and cutting curves for some of those
more exotic projects.
In most cases, sanders are a way of inishing a project, so
should be seen as a inishing tool.
KA270-XE
MULTI SANDER
With that in mind, an orbital or random orbital sander
will do the job. It can be paired with a detail sander to get
into all the corners, nooks and crannies.

• Detail + 125mm ROS
• 170 Watt Powerful motor

This may seem like a luxury item but you’ll only have to
use it once, in a situation where you need to remove quite
a bit of material from a project, to realise just how useful
an electric planer is.
Lights
170 Watt Powerful motor
Not technically classed as a power tool, but an
electrical item that is a must in any good workshop
(or anywhere you’re working where it’s a little dark).
Without good lighting, working with power tools isn’t
going to be safe. You need to see clearly to get the job
done right with minimal danger to yourself or others.
