Tools & Home Gear I Actually Use: Drills, Shop Vac & Cleaning
8
items The tools and home gear I actually own and use: the drills and impact drivers I reach for on projects around the house, a wet/dry shop vac, and the cleaning and smart-home stuff I use every week. Some links earn me a small commission at no extra cost...

Home & Cleaning
Power Tools
My go-to drill/driver for hanging shelves, putting furniture together and quick fixes. Compact enough for tight spots, and the 20V battery holds up.
DEWALT 20V MAX Compact Drill/Driver Kit
The cheapest way into a huge battery lineup. The drill and impact combo handles most projects around the house, and the same batteries run tons of other Ryobi tools.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit
The heavy-duty set for bigger jobs. The impact driver sinks long screws and lag bolts without stripping them, and the brushless motors hold up to regular work use.
Milwaukee M18 Brushless Compact Drill & Impact Combo Kit
Home & Cleaning
A wet/dry shop vac handles the messes a regular vacuum can't: sawdust, spilled water, the garage and the car. Small enough to carry around but still has real suction.
RIDGID 4 Gal. Portable Wet/Dry Shop Vac
Pulls stains out of couches, car seats and carpet that a regular vacuum won't touch. Small enough to keep under the sink and grab when something spills. Pet messes and coffee spills are gone in a couple minutes.
BISSELL Little Green Mini Portable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner 4064
Light cordless stick vac for quick daily cleanups. Pops into a handheld for the couch, stairs and car, and the pet tool grabs hair that tangles other vacuums. Runs long enough to do the whole place on one charge.
Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum IX141
See who's at the door from my phone, get package alerts and talk through it without getting up. Wired version uses the existing doorbell wiring so there's no battery to keep charging.
Ring Video Doorbell Wired
Timers, music, weather and smart plugs by voice. Small enough for the kitchen or nightstand and sounds better than you'd expect for the size. Easiest way to start a smart home.
