8. My tools are split between two different platforms

Years back, I bought a basic set of porter cable tools. They do just fine. I notice they aren’t the most prevalent in either Home Depot or lowes anymore so, I would advise to buy something else for that reason. However, the pride and joy of my collection are my assorted Festool tools.

I do a lot of woodworking in the kitchen of my apartment and dust collection is a serious consideration for me. If you have a saw, router, or a sander plugged into your vacuum cleaner for dust extraction purposes, do you really need for it to be cordless? Many of my tools are still corded for that reason.

Festool can get expensive, but you get what you pay for.
