Tool tip: the electric planer was the first power tool ever manufactured by the Makita brand, way back in 1958. 

Essential power tools for carpentry work

Every carpentry project requires a few staple tools. For hand tools, that includes your measuring tools, chisels and hammers. But what sort of power tools are essential for carpentry work? Here’s some of our favourites. 

First up is a power saw, such as the versatile circular saw, a mitre saw for cutting angles, and a jigsaw for making delicate or creative cuts.

For driving fasteners, you’ll want to look at an impact driver. And for drilling holes and driving, the classic drill driver. It’s ideal to have both tools, but if we had to choose just one? The drill driver.

When it’s time to start sanding, save yourself a ton of time and grab a power sander.
