We\u2019ve all been guilty of going at a home renovation project with the incorrect tools. I\u2019ve used a butter knife countless times on outlet covers rather than searching out a screwdriver. When I didn\u2019t have a tub drain wrench, I used a pair of pliers instead. As DIY home renovators, we tend to look for inexpensive and easier options, especially when looking at a tool you will likely use only once.<\/p>\n
One tool that should be carefully researched and chosen based on its merit is the saw. Electric saws are much more expensive than manual handheld ones, so you’ll want to research which is best for you.
