I’m often asked about what I think are the best power tools for the beginning do-it-yourselfer. It’s a question that truly has no one right answer and will be dependent on many different factors…. needs, budget and goals. I try to go over some of the considerations someone should consider and then select a variety of basic tools that I feel might be a good starting point for the beginning DIYer on a budget.
My selections are not necessarily the ‘best’ tools for all jobs, but rather a starting point for someone looking to acquire some basic and useful tools. Please note that I made this list with budget and compactness in mind for it to be inclusive for those that may not have the extra room for a table saw, miter saw, etc,… OR a booming budget;) So the tools on the list may not necessarily be the best at a certain task, BUT can accomplish a task while being affordable as well as storable.
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

Now THIS is very valuable info that I need. Thanks for another great video! 🙂 Also, I think "UK Tony" has a very good request! Thanks for all you share with everyone!
Nice video. Some very good information for DIYers. Thanks Joe.
wish i could give this vid 2 thumbs up.. great info.. am certainly interested in part 2.. thank you for the great info
Very informative as usual Joe…..i need not even say good job at this point, keep em comin'! 👍
Wow, I actually collected all of those tools in the last year or so. The next one I want to buy is an angle grinder since I saw you cut sheet metal like butter in another video. Must get one! Tin snips are the worst.
Thanks for your videos and work Joe. I was wondering if you built the workbench on which you displayed the tools in this video. I noticed in other videos you were able to drop in your chop saw and I'd like to build a work bench like that at some point. Thanks again!
thanks for the video. you covered your tool list and purchasing options, but I would like to hear your opinions on where it makes the most sense to spend the money. I.e. which tools are you best off buying new vs refurbished vs used
Just came over here after watching you and Brad. This is just the kind of video I was looking for. I bought a cheap cordless drill (Hubby said it would work fine). It could barely drill a hole through some thin wood. Will be buying something better. I have a question that maybe you can help me with. I found a band saw that someone threw out. The motor runs, but the blade moves very very slow. I was told that if I just clean and oil it, that it should work fine.Also, it probably needs a new blade. What do you think? Thanks and just subscribed.
I have 4 out of 7. It's a start. ;)
I don’t know whether he’s going to sell it or not, but I’d get Woody Hyezmar’s book before he does. It has some good plans, others not so good, but it’s something to work with at least:)
