for most people, a Black and Decker cordless screwdriver is enough, really. For big-job drills, instead of deWalt, get Makita impact driver 18v Lithium, compact, light, better grip, and a ton of power.

Hammer: article is spot on. Most under-rated tool. Get used all the time and yet most people buy the cheapest type.

I buy the cheapest type because I lose them constantly. I subscribe to the "saturation" model of losing things - keep buying the item until it saturates your environment and you starting finding hammers as fast as you lose them.

(In my defense, I have a big house and it's still mostly uninhabited - I just found a hammer in the master bathroom that I'd left there three months ago. I hadn't been there for three months; there's no working plumbing yet.)
