DamianD Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 So today is my 27th birthday. My fiance was upset because she wanted to get me a new power tool but couldnt figure out what to get me. So she gave me the option to pick. What are some power tools, corded or cordless, that you would absolutely want if given the choice. Hard part is the price range being below $150. Dont want her to spend too much on me as we just bought a house and money needs to go into savings right now. Btw, i already have m18 hammer drill/ driver combo so thatd be the platform id be working with if cordless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 What are your thoughts on the Ridgid One Handed Recip Saw, $100 at HD? I always wanted the heavy duty sawzall but now that I think of it, I feel it would be total overkill for an average do it yourself homeowner. http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-THRU-COOL-6-Amp-One-Handed-Orbital-Reciprocating-Saw-Kit-R3031/100646504 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Or maybe the m12 multi tool, $149 at HD. Unfortunately it doesnt come in a fuel version yet. That would come in handy pretty often. Right now i just use a Harbor Freight multi tool that has been faithful to me the past few years but Id like something a little nicer.

DR99 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 You could get the non fuel M18 circular saw or sawzall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yea I would definitely look into getting circular saw or sawzall those u will always need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just because it doesn't say Milwaukee fuel on the tool doesn't mean its not a good tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yup DR ur right I use to think that way about dewalt and now u can c sum red in my tools now lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just because it doesn't say Milwaukee fuel on the tool doesn't mean its not a good tool Oh i agree completely. The hammer/impact combo i got is brushed and i wouldnt trade it for anything. Would just be nice to get the latest and greatest as this gift tho. What are everyones thoughts on that Ridgid one handed recip saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I done have any experience with the rigid one handed saw but personally wouldn't go that route. Have you thought about the m18 hackzall in bare tool form. 2625-20. $100. You already have the battery and charger so why not utilize them better.Stick with the harbor freight multitool till it dies. I actually have heard those are decent little machines especially for the price. Invest in some quality multitool blades if you haven't ready it will make a huge differenceFor wood and nail embedded wood the fein e-cut LONG LIFE is the best I've found. For things like metal, screws and even drywall and plaster the Bosch Osc114c can't be beat.Happy birthday!!John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thank you! I completely forgot about the m18 hackzall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebowejr Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I would say non fuel circular saw because every review I see says it's very close to the fuel version but if you need something for demo then hackzall or sawzall....I always favor the sawzall. I mean the milwaukee sawzall is truly the only sawzall out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
