A Power Drill

A power drill is useful in many situations. If you are hanging pictures or artwork around the house, you can use it to drill the necessary holes. You can also use it for many different projects. If you decide to build your own bookshelf or a small table then you will already have a power drill handy. Most drills can also be easily converted to impact drivers as well, so you can use it to put things together or take them apart. You can install new fixtures and take down old ones. All of these hings are much more easily done with an impact driver than with a manual screwdriver. However, before you drill into any of the walls in your home, or even old flooring, it is important to know whether or not it could contain asbestos. Asbestos is very harmful if disturbed but you can have a professional come out and test your home and tell you if your project is safe.
