First power tool: a drill?
Hi guys,
After my some success at my first project, I'm contemplating buying a tool to celebrate :) I'm thinking that a drill is in order, because it will probably be the most useful around the house and in woodworking.
I have a budget of $100-$150, and would really love to get some brad point bits in that price range.
I used a friends Ryobi drill for my first project and liked that a lot. I'm pretty sure it was a 12V drill, it had two batteries and a charger, forward and reverse, two speed, and 22 (or 24) torque settings.
Can you recommend a good brand in my price range? It doesn't need to be too powerful, it will mostly be used for wood/plaster, nothing too heavy. How much would I be looking at for a modest set of drill bits, preferably brad-points?
Also, I'm happy to spend a little bit more if it is worth it. I'd rather something that will last (lol I saw drills in Kmart for $30, they scared me a lot).
Thanks guys :)
PS If you feel I would be better getting a different tool, I'm open to most options too. I'm after something that will be the most use for me to get first. I did think a circular saw would be good, but I might like to jump straight to a compound mitre saw.
