Drill DriversThe versatile cordless drill is available with a 3/8 inch chuck, however I personally recommend the half inch chuck which will allow me to work with hole saws and larger drill bits. Available options are variable speed and torque settings. |

Reciprocating SawThe cordless reciprocating saw is extremely helpful for cutting electrical conduit and pipe, and is great to use when you need to do some demo work, or open up a section of drywall. Be sure to say clear of obstacles such as electrical wiring and plumbing pipes. |

FlashlightThe cordless flash light is a must when working in the attic or under a house. Most cordless flashlights come with a sturdy base and adjustable light head to get the light right where you need it. |

Head Mounted LED FlashlightThis head mounted LED flashlight has an elastic strap and adjustable lamp that will always shine the light where you are looking and working with your hands. I can't say enough about how great this LED light is for so many work projects where I have used it. |

Stud FinderLocate ceiling joists, framing studs, and other obstacles inside the wall. Great to use before you cut open the wall, or when you need to located a stud to anchor something to a wall, such as surface mounted conduit or a ceiling mounted light fixture . The stud finder pictured here also locates metal studs and electrical circuits. |
Laser Plumb BobThis laser light plumb bob is ideal for helping you locate the position of ceiling light fixtures from a for layout. This eliminates the need to use a measuring tape while your up on the ladder, which will save you allot of time. |
