The toolbox staple of any trade is the cordless combi drill, allowing you to move freely around your home or job site. Whether you are a professional or casual user, with the correct accessory they allow you to complete a variety of tasks without having to switch between tools, such as drilling holes into wood, metal or masonry and driving in screws. Available in a range of voltages and battery capacities from brands you know and trust. The higher the voltage the more powerful the tool will be, giving you more torque strength and the bigger the battery Ah number, the longer your combi drill will run without needing to charge it back up.
In an ideal world, you should have both tools so you have the best tool for all drilling and driving applications. This also gives you the ability to use the drill for pilot holes and use the Impact driver to sink fasteners. Since you don't have to switch bits for each fastener, you're much more productive.
Impact drivers are designed for efficiently driving long deck screws or carriage bolts into wooden posts, fastening concrete screw anchors into block walls and driving screws into metal studs. It isn't intended for drilling, though it can be useful when using a spade bit.

The Disk Sander is used to smooth materials such as wood and plastics. It is also used to remove small amounts of waste material. It is a dangerous machine if safety is ignored.
What is the purpose of a Belt Sander?
A belt sander or strip sander is a sander used in shaping and finishing wood and other materials. It consists of an electric motor that turns a pair of drums on which a continuous loop of sandpaper is mounted.
Choose a Palm Sander if you require a tool for sanding a finished work. If you are done making a piece of small furniture that you are not planning to paint, this one is the ideal tool for you. It is also suitable for sanding edges, which is one of the advantages of its relatively compact design as well.

The key difference between first-fix and second-fix nail guns is that first-fix nail guns are more powerful machines that use larger nails for heavy-duty framing applications. Whilst second fix nail guns are slightly more delicate and refined pieces of equipment that use smaller nails for a range of ‘finishing’ applications.

A right-angle drill is basically an electric drill with a headset at a 90-degree angle to the grip. The head-on right angle drill is typically much shorter than what you'd see in a traditional model, too, and the grip is usually designed to be comfortable when operated with one hand.
What is a Diamond Core Drill?
A diamond core drill is similar to a hole saw. It comprises a diamond-studded steel tube mounted on a rotating shaft. During the drilling process, the core bit's temperature is controlled with the use of water. And this also helps get rid of dust while drilling through a structure.
