ABOUT POWER TOOLS

Power tools are electric tools, which may be corded or cordless. They include drills, saws, staplers, and planers, and are available for working on wood, metal, and concrete. Cordless technology, which typically uses Lithium-Ion batteries, is suitable for smaller tools such as hand drills.

Leading retailers such as Home Depot carry a vast range of power tools, both in stores and online, from as many as twenty different manufacturers. Leading power tool manufacturers include DeWalt of the USA, Bosch of Germany, and Makita of Japan.
