To help prevent power tool accidents, make sure your work area is secure. Ladders should be securely in place. Never work on a surface that is slippery or unstable. It is a risk you don t want to be taking with a power tool in your hand. I understand that not all work areas are under the best of circumstances. 

It just a few seconds you can get that screw out of the wall or put in anchor screws to hang up picture frames. I keep my power screwdriver fully charged and ready to go. It is the power tool I reach for the most. Since they come with a tip that can be changed from Phillips to a flat head, there is no need to have any other screwdriver around. 

The owner s guide that comes with any power tool will give you great pointers on what projects it is to be used for. If you have a particular project in mind, searching through all of those manuals can be time consuming. Try using the internet to look up the project you are going to do and you should find information on the best power tools to use for the job. 

A good way to compare the quality of a particular type of power tool is to check reviews online from other consumers. These reviews are free to look at and very unbiased. You can also check with magazines that do comparisons such as Consumer Reports. It is a good idea to purchase a particular model and brand of power tool only after you have physically looked at it and touched it. 

Keep all cords out of water and away from solvents or you could get shocked or electrocuted. If you have never operated a particular power tool before, take your time getting familiar with it before you even plug it in. Read the owners manual that comes with the power tool. Find out about the types of blades and other accessories that can safely be used with it. 

If you are buying it for one specific project and don t think you will use it again, then you can purchase a lower quality power tool for the project. It needs to be high enough quality that it will get you excellent results, but it doesn t have to be a long lasting product. 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.
