"Good Tools! Hmm? I use Hmm?"
Welcome to the Tools Used Section!

To build anything on this world you will certainly need tools. Knowing how to use them is very important but also the correct tool and the quality of the tool must be observed. Cheap screwdrivers will soon break while taking out a screw. Isn't that what they are supposed to do? If they are cheap they are supposed to break!

Electric tools are usually designed to cut wood. Have you seen a fiberglass series of tools? As far as I know there is not such thing. But I learned the lesson. Cheap electric tools will burn in your wand if working with metals or fiberglass (sometimes even wood!). Expensive tools cut through anything (if the proper blade is used, of course!) and are timeless. So instead of paying twice for the expensive (the damaged cheap + the expensive if you want to continue your project) buy the expensive one the first time.

Craftsman did the job for me. I have craftsman tools that I bought at the first stage of the project and still work as if they were new! Other recommended brands are Makita. although this are far more expensive than Craftsman. Do take in mind that if they are more expensive they ought to do better!

Which brands I don't recommend? I am sorry for the companies but neither Craftsman nor Makita is paying me to say how good their tools are. And even if Black and Decker paid me, it would not change the truth about how my first hand drill and hand saw burned while sanding fiberglass and cutting aluminum.

Some may argue that a drill is not designed to sand fiberglass and a hand saw is not meant to cut aluminum. If that is the case, shouldn't my Craftsman tools be already burned? Believe me, use Black and Decker only for wood.

Please feel free to visit the specific tool section where you can see the tools that I used and a brief explanation of how they can be useful to you:
