Most people don't buy several different types of chainsaws or four different drills. But there are a few power tools that are essential for common home repairs and quick fixes. You'll never regret purchasing a good set of tools, and even the unrecognizable ones will be guaranteed to come in handy one day. For any homeowner (or even apartment dweller), having a small set of tools is important.
Too often people feel forced into buying new appliances or furniture when these items could be easily fixed with the right tools and a bit of effort. Power tools are especially useful as they can help you repair things quicker and more effectively than just by hand-powered methods.

You don't need to spend a fortune to create a small arsenal of essential power tools. There are only a few that you really need to get the majority of tasks done. Others can always be borrowed or even rented for a few days at a local hardware store. Here are some of the main power tools you'll want to invest in.
1. Drill
Hammers and nails will never be as efficient as the power of a drill. There are many different varieties of electric drills available, but if you're just looking for something to fix loose screws, you can choose the most basic of models.
Look for drills with varying speeds and a reverse option (this will be invaluable when attempting to take apart furniture). It may also be in your best interest to choose a cordless model. You'll have to make sure the batteries are charged, but you won't have to worry about tangles and storing messy cords.
2. Circular Saw
If you ever plan on undertaking any woodwork, this tool will be necessary. They come in small sizes, so it won't take up too much space or be too difficult to wield. Around the house, they are popular for such projects as deck building and door frame repair, but can be used for just about any other wood project. They can cut across or with the grain, making them very versatile.
3. Jigsaw
There are now smaller versions of the jigsaw, so you won't need to buy a huge table setup. Jigsaws are also used for woodworking, but unlike the circular saw, they can be use with thin wood and for fine detail work like trimming thin edges or making curved cuts.
4. Reciprocating Saw
This is one of the more fun power tools a person can own. The reciprocating saw is an all-purpose cutting and destroying tool. It can tear down a variety of different materials, making it suitable for remodeling jobs or if you just need to replace some stubborn floorboards. It can also be use to make cuts in tough materials such as metal.
Having these essential power tools will help you get a good set started. Additional can always be added on later. With proper maintenance and care, power tools can last many years, so they will be well worth the initial investment.
