Cordless Screwdrivers make life easier
Posted on | August 5, 2011 |
This week, we decided to re-vamp our kitchen and my cordless screwdriver made that task that much easier and enjoyable. The rewarding feeling was great.
We were tired of the old kitchen cabinets and thought that a fresh coat of white paint and new, more modern hardware would really freshen up our kitchen. Well, it really did. First we unscrewed all the cabinet doors and hardware and emptied everything out of there. I would really recommend doing this with a cordless screwdriver - cuts the time down to nothing. Then a thorough clean and sanded everything down. Carefully repainted everything white. After everything was dry, we installed the new hardware and reattached all the cabinet doors. After we restocked everything, we stood back and admired our handy work. In just about two days we had a brand new looking kitchen boasting a sleeker modern vibe. We are so happy and couldn’t have done it as easily without our cordless power tool.
Seriously, consider investing in a cordless screwdriver / drill if you are into such tasks around the home. Nowadays, you can get a really good cordless screwdriver for under $40 and it will enhance your DIY experiences. Do your research, read reviews on Amazon and consider what your specific needs are to ensure you choose the right tool for you. Some general tips to consider - lean towards choosing cordless screwdivers / drills or other power tools that run on lithium ion batteries versus NICAD batteries. They last longer and won’t suffer from battery memory effect. Also, look for screwdrivers that have a few different grip handle positions (at least straight and pistol style) as it makes it easy to reach at awkward angles. A built in flashlight comes in real handy too and check that the torque is adjustable - this makes your cordless screwdriver that much more versatile.
Wishing you happy DIY-ing with your cordless screwdriver!
