This drill is great for all the projects I do! It is an impact driver, so it takes some finesse, but it can do everything from hanging pictures to laying a deck! It it lighter than a big driver, but still packs a lot of power! Dewalt is my go-to bran...
Impact Drivers
Menards carries their own in-house brand, and they have a lifetime guarantee on their products that makes them a great choice because they are low-cost, fairly durable tools, and if you need to replace them, you can just bring them back and get a new...

I use these all the time! I use them for zip ties and clothing tags, jewelry making and mending, and cutting electrical wires when I need to! I prefer smaller pairs for jewelry making and general use, and a heftier pair for thicker wires.

Have you ever noticed a picture hanging up on a wall that's just... a liittle off? You can avoid that by employing a level. You simply hold the level against whatever you need to get flat, and adjust the object slightly as needed until the bubble in ...
