Gamers i dont have any tools and Im tired of borrowing them. Bought some basic hand tools I know I'll use, but I need a drill mostly for doing simple framing and fixing some old buildings on my property.I'm at a bit of a loss at what to get, everything has confusing model names and it looks like amazon is pushing like nearly 10 year old stuff, which I would imagine is bad since battery tech moves fast? Im looking to spend like 300 or so on a drill + battery and charger, have the bits I need already. I dont know shit about any of the specs.Also i have a metric shit ton of rough cut limestime and other stones laying around I want to use for lanscaping. I dont want to use/buy a saw. Is there a method to just using a hammer and chisel to get some basic shapes out of these? And if so what so I need? Tried just wacking on them with a sledge and they seem to break unpredictably.
>>2869492>>>/diy/ is this way
Shit my bad, I'll post on /diy/.Clean it up janny.
>>2869492just go get a dewalt set from lowes or home depot, dont order it from amazo. since they are some sellers selling fakes. Milwaukee or makita are good too. cutting limestone with a hammer and chisel is hard, i tried that when i made my hearth. get a 4" grinder and a 4" masonry cutting wheel. you can buy all that for about $350. just score the limestone about half inch deep and then break it by hitting with hammer
>>2869492simply comparing battery life isn't the whole story depending on how you plan to use them. if you are doing some long hours where you know you will have to own multiple batteries so you don't have to sit and wait for one to charge, it is probably more important to find which ones have the cheapest batteries, even if they aren't technically as large as the better singular battery. there are always trade-offs. for example, would you rather have a drill + 4 spare 3 spare batteries, or a drill with one or two ever-so-slightly better batteries? factor in your runtime:cost ratio. battery prices vary wildly. everyone has their favored brand anyways so you will get a thousand different answers. I have lots of old dewalt shit that is still kicking.
