Hello, I'm new to home improvement and am looking to buy several power tools to assist me. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what a good "base" set of tools would be. I have about $500 to spend. I already have a good collection of screwdrivers, hammers, levels, etc. I was thinking about the following items:
Hammer Drill with decent power (19 amps) Compound miter saw (10 in) Circular saw (7 3/4) Air Nailers and compressor
Any subtractions or additions suggested would be appreciated. I was thinking a jig saw might be better than the circular saw.
Home Depot currently has 3 air nailers and a 6 gallon compressor/tank for $300. The nailers are finishing, brad, and crown. Would those nailers be ok for light work, like building a dog house or sheetrocking, or would I need a framing nailer for that? Also, would the 6 gallon tank be enough to power the framing nailer?
Thanks alot for your time. Jim
