Hi there
I just found your forum and i am really impress with it, keep up the good work :)
I want to get some power tools, but i want to use them overseas, in Europe. Price is a reason I want to get them in US, cause here are a lot cheaper (sometimes even half the price). For example, a BOSCH 14.4v drill, proffessional grade (blue color) costs there about 320 euros, which is roughly some 400 bucks, and here i can get it fot like 150.170 dollars. You do the mahs, hehe.
Now... i will tell you what I need it fot, and maybe you will help me to choose one. I am a little tight on budget so that should be taken also in consideration.
First of all, i want to build my own furniture in one small apartment that i have, from laminated wood. That is a quite dense and hard materia, so i reccon I need a little bit more power, and I was thinking to get a 18 v tool. Also, i will work with drywall hanging on metal framing, so i need something quite light in order not to tire my hand.
I was looking in places like home depot, lowes, walmart, and saw bunches of drills, some expesive, some cheap, some medium... The Firestorm drill from Lowes caught my eye, but i can't decide... is it ok to get it, or should i wait some more time and get a more expensive tool? I will use it after that just arround home, or maybe building from time to time furniture.
Also, i saw at lowes a firestorm kit that comes with a 18 v drill, a circular saw and a flashlight and two batteries. Is it worthed?
Can you recommend me other products?
Thank you
