3. Cordless Drill

If you're serious about your DIY projects, a cordless drill is a must-have tool in your workshop. Drilling holes and driving screws are faster and more efficient with a cordless drill.

4. Saw

Whether you indulge in woodworking or not, a saw is another essential tool in your workshop. Building furniture from scratch or modifying existingĀ pieces - all these tasks need a saw for a neat cut. You can go with a circular saw for bigger projects, a jigsaw for curves and complex shapes, or even the budget-friendly hand saw for basic use.
