We all know power tools can be expensive, and if you need to purchase several to get a project done then you may need to go with the discount brands. In some cases this will be the difference between being able to purchase two power tools you need or one that is a high cost name brand. On the other hand, name brand power tools often come with a much better warranty and they are often able to stand up to more wear and tear. Since the reasoning behind purchasing a power nailer is to give you the ability to put in large quantities of nails in a short amount of time, it should be easier to control. You want to select a power nailer that fits well in your hands and has a good fit. A heavy power nailer can be difficult to operate for long periods of time. A full face shield will protect even more when you are using certain power tools. The proper clothing is very important too. It is a good idea to wear long sleeves to prevent burns and cuts, but make sure that the clothing isn t too loose. If it is, you risk it getting tangled up with the power tool. Make sure you use the right grade of sandpaper. Start of with a very coarse grade and finish up with a finer grade for a very smooth finish. A router is a great tool for detail work. If you will be engraving or doing finishing work, this is the tool you don t want to be without. There are so many accessories for routers that you can be very creative with your designing. Keep the cords out of wet, damp areas, and make sure there is nothing in the area that can accidentally be spilled on them. Even if you use the power tool as it should be operated and have on the right safety equipment, accidents can still happen in the blink of an eye. Tripping, slipping, or falling while you have a power tool in your hand can result in an injury. Most power tools are reasonably priced but you are going to run across some heavy duty, top of the line power tools that have a price tag to reflect it. Keep in mind the cost is more than just the purchase price. Take the cost of essentials into consideration as well. Depending on the type of power tool, these essentials can be sandpaper, belts, blades, bits, or a number of other items.
