  1. Absolutely ! I'm a programming super. for a brick company and ANSI Z87 Safety Glasses are all over the place. That's the one thing I don't have to purchase I think.
  2. Ok, I think that's what we'll do. We've been looking at the DeWalt packs and the 4pc makes more sense. Thanks again for all the advice, Hit
  3. No, my mistake. I think you mentioned that and I just missed it One other quick question. Think I should wait on a sander and just use elbow grease to start off with? I like that set and think it would do well to get me started but wonder if I should wait on an orbital sander. As far as the rest of your first post my intent is to get into it as much as I'm able to. I've sort of sat on it all for about 2 weeks now as I didn't want to jump into anything too hastily but my wife and I both agree it would be a good investment and figure if we're going to spend the money we should put it towards a proven dependable brand.
  4. Hmmm, only through Ebay, I'll check on it further. Now, why the big price difference between these 2? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=p ... lpage=none http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stor ... PartNumber Maybe I'm missing something. Again, thanks so much for the help.
  5. Thanks for the reply Idon'tknow, This was the set I've been looking/thinking about. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/DeWalt-18V-Drill-Sa ... otohosting
  6. Hello all, As the title says I'm sorta new at this sort of thing. My wife an I just bought our first house and well...I've been doing a few repairs here and there. Today I actually refinished my first piece of furniture. It was just a book shelf but I figured I'd start small. Anyhow, over the last few weeks I've discovered I really enjoy that sort of thing. Maybe it's the idea of having your own house and knowing you're adding quality to your life, I don't know. Anyhow, I've been browsing power tools and such as she, my wife, would like a few more book cases, a new dog house and a few other things and thought I'd try my hand at it. Figure I'd never learn unless I jump into it. So, like I said, I've been browsing around and looking at different brands, tools, etc and from what I can gather DeWalt is one of the better brands to go with. I've been looking at cordless drills, reciprocating saws, orbital sanders and a circular saw and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which I should go with. I figure I'd end up spending $400-$600 for the four but would like to be on the low end of that if possible. Should I even be looking at that many items right off the bat? I've looked at the DeWalt 6 piece set which has everything except the drill is a hammer/drive drill. I don't think I would really need that and have read there are problems with the hammer drill which I don't need. Should I be concerned with that? Thanks in advance for any replies and I apologize for the long post, I'm a bit long winded at times Hit
