Drills & Drivers, Tools

WHAT I USE TODAY

PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX Drill & Driver

I have the Porter Cable 20V Max 6 Tool Combo Kit. These tools can all be purchased separately but I got them together.

I have been through many drills and drivers since I started my journey woodworking. I'm going to help you drill down your choices.. heh see what I did there.

First you can probably get by with just the drill and not the driver if you are on a budget. But you can't get along with a driver and not a drill. Does that make sense? If not I'll explain more below.
