Reliable Power Tools for DIYers

[Polgord]

I’ve been looking to upgrade my power tools for DIY furniture projects—things like building custom shelves and repairing chairs. I need something reliable but not over-the-top expensive. Are there any brands or models you’d recommend for drills and sanders? Bonus points for tools that are lightweight and easy to use for smaller hands.

For furniture projects, a lightweight but powerful drill is a must. Husky’s cordless drills are a great option, especially their compact models designed for precision. Check Husky Tools website for their drill-and-driver sets—they come with multiple bits and good battery life. If you need a sander, look into Husky’s random orbital sanders, which are great for smooth finishes without leaving marks. Their ergonomic designs make them comfortable for long use, even if your hands are smaller. Husky tools are a solid choice for DIY because they’re durable, yet not as pricey as professional-grade brands. To save more, consider a bundled set that includes chargers and accessories. Don’t skip on Husky’s protective gear like gloves and goggles—they’re essential for sanding and drilling. These tools will easily handle most furniture projects without wearing you out.
