I’m new at buying tools and I usually borrow but now I’d like to buy my own. I really love carpentry and I plan to do quite a bit of projects once I have power tools. I’de like to start out by buying a circular saw and a drill. what brands and types do you recomend that are not to expensive, will do a good job, and will last a pretty long time? and if you can, which brands and types should I stay away from?

    I’ve had good results with my DeWalt tools. They’re a little more than consumer brand tools but they’re worth it.

    The best brand depends on the particular tool you are looking for. If I have one tip to give you, it’s buy it right the first time. Spend a little more to buy a quality product rather than buying something cheaper and having to buy a better version when the inferior tool does not meet your needs.

    The same ballpark of price and they breaki use hold best tools around and often dont provide professional results millwakee is in the easiest to be the same ballpark of price and often not the cheapest but often not.
    The most expensive they are plastic pieces of shite.
