It's that time of year again. Christmas is here and you've got a great opportunity to get some
0:11
wonderful new tools for that special someone around your home who likes to work with their
0:16
hands. Now whether you've got a big budget or a small budget, I've got something for you this
0:21
season. First thing I want to talk about are some of the great new cordless tools. For example
0:27
There are some great cordless drills that make all the other past cordless drills look silly
0:34
These things have got keyless chucks. They've got lots of power, especially the 18-volt models or higher
0:39
That's what you want to look for. You can also get some of the fantastic new cordless circular saws
0:46
Now, you may think this is too small and too weak. It isn't. It's got a big 18-volt motor as well, and it's got a smaller blade
0:52
but the reason why it's got a smaller blade, You don't need those big 7 1⁄4 inch blades around your home
0:57
This blade will tackle 95% of all your projects. Now if you want to get a really neat tool as well why not get a compound miter box saw These things are affordable You can get ones for around Really a great buy Now how about stocking stuffers Some really
1:14
great little things. Here's something most people don't think about. A little wood rasp. Very
1:19
inexpensive, but very handy if you need to carve some wood as you're putting up trim or woodwork
1:24
Another really neat item, an interchangeable scraper tool. If you're going to strip some paint
1:30
possibly this winter or next spring. This little tool is very nifty. It comes with different tips
1:35
and it's very, very handy. And finally, one of the neatest things of all, do you lose a little
1:39
nut or a bolt or a screw or some metal object that's iron down into a duct and you can't find
1:44
it? How about a telescoping magnetic retrieval tool? They're the best, just like a radio antenna
1:50
They work really, really swell. Okay, remember, Christmas is right around the corner. There's
1:55
plenty of things to buy. Visit your local home center stores. They're packed. They're stocked
1:59
This is the time of year to buy some great, great tools for that special someone in your home
