Think that your trusty hand-powered screwdriver and some duct tape is all you need to keep your home in working order? Think again. Many common household repairs cannot be performed without the assistance of power tools.

One common household chore that necessitates these tools is a putting together certain Swedish furniture that we love to hate. In fact, it isn't only furniture companies that are on the do-it-yourself for cheaper kick.
Things like bicycles and sports equipment often need to be self-assembled as well. While the instructions often claim you can perform the task with just the use of hand apparatus, the reality is that sloppy assembly will result in damage to the product or can even present a safety hazard.
Using these tools, such as simple and inexpensive cordless battery drills and electric screwdrivers will not only dramatically cut down on the time it takes to build the product, but will ensure a tight and safe seal.
Along the lines of putting furniture together, if you have ever moved or are planning to in the near future, you'll have to take it apart again. Taking down furniture safely and without damage can be tricky. You can hire expensive movers to do the deed for you, but that can result in harming the finish.
A reversing power drill is generally sufficient enough to help you deconstruct all of your pieces. You can quickly remove screws without scratching or chipping the finish, as well as save your wrist from some difficult twisting.
Planning on sprucing up your home with a bit of paint? There is nothing wrong with good old fashioned elbow grease, but these gears can give you the professional finish in much less time. First you'll want some power sanders to help you buff and smooth plaster used to repair wall damage.
If your intentions are to paint the outside of your home, the only way to go is with an airless sprayer. It produces a fine mist of paint that quickly and evenly coats your house in a fraction of the time.
An electric multi-tool (which often resembles a sort of futuristic Swiss army knife) is essential for the most basic and common household repairs. It's a dozen different power tools in one and usually comes with small sander, polishing, cutting, drilling, and engraving accessories.
It can reach small areas to help smooth out splinters, cut tangled cords, and polish up small surface scratches. It can help you fix your dishwasher or just open that extra tough blister case. Most people won't need a large arsenal of power tools at their disposal. Tool rental will save you money and time on home repairs.

Christmas Sales Black & Decker DS321 Dragster 7 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Overview
Go ahead and say it: It looks like a race car. That's what we said, too, and were ready to dismiss it as a gimmick. But then we tried it, and we stopped smirking. The smaller front roller changes everything you know about using a belt sander, making the belt's route more of a triangle than an oval. And because of that, you can get the grit to spaces you couldn't with a standard belt sander—for example, you can actually scoot right up to the baseboard when sanding a floor. There's more contact area with this design, and while that may be a moot point, we think it's still worth mentioning. We really like the three-position handle; it adjusts easily and lets you have the grip you need to be in control of an aggressive tool like this one. The dust collector works as well as any on a belt sander (meaning you're still going to have a mess to clean up). Belt changes are pretty straightforward and easy, thanks to the simple belt release lever. Because it's not a high-end tool, don't expect impeccable belt tracking here; still, the adjustment knob does a good job of tracking. This is one of those why-didn't-someone-think-of-this-sooner tools. Such a simple design change offers so much more utility in a well-priced staple of the workshop.
