My favorite second-oldest nephew just bought a townhouse in Annapolis (closing Jan 9th) and he would like to start a tool collection. I told him I would get him a cordless drill/screwdriver. The DeWalt's come in 12V, 14.4V & 18V - what is the difference? His first project will be repairing the deck where nails are coming out - I told him my husband used some special nails in our attic. Lots of people use screws on decks, he might go that route. He also may need to replace some of the decking. The townhouse is only 10 years old and already has beautiful molding & woodwork throughout, he really doesn't need any remodeling tools. I gave him our old circular saw and a once (mis)used reciprocating saw, his father said he may need those for the deck repairs.

My favorite oldest nephew has really been enjoying his Paslode nail gun. He went around the house and renailed a lot of molding. He also used his miter saw (your recommended saw) to put up new molding in the 3rd floor bedrooms. The second floor guest bedroom will become an inhabited nursery in Feb.
