Screw drill
With the right drills and bits, you can drill and screw in all kinds of different materials with a screw drill. Usually, a screw drill has a slider that allows you to set the speed. You use the low position for screw driving and the high position for drilling.
In addition to the speed, you can adjust the torque (the force with which the machine drills or screws) to the job you want to use it for. To do this, adjust the rotating ring with numbers behind the drill head. Each number corresponds to a torque expressed in Newton-meters (Nm). The higher the torque, the more powerful and faster you screw. With hardwood, you set a higher torque than with a soft material such as plasterboard. The highest position of the rotating ring is the drilling position.
Multitools
As the name suggests, a multitool can switch between the different attachments, and you can use the tool for multiple tasks. It is essential to choose the right multitool. There are two types: oscillating multitools and rotating multitools. You can use an oscillating multitool for sawing, scraping, sanding, and grinding. A rotary multitool is more suitable for finer jobs, such as engraving, sanding small surfaces, or working wood. In general, for tasks in and around the house, an oscillating multitool is the best choice. For hobby and precision work, you are best off with a rotating multitool.
Multimeter
A multimeter is an electrical measuring instrument with which you measure various quantities such as electrical voltage, current strength, and resistance. For do-it-yourself purposes, using a simple digital multimeter, such as this one from Stanley, is all you need. But the higher you get in the ranking of multimeters, the more you can measure with them.
Combi garden tools
Another way to combine the functions of different tools is the Gardena Combi System. With the many combination options of this system, you can find the right combination of handles and tools for every garden job. For example, you can turn your leaf rake into a snow shovel in no time. This short video shows how it works.
