How to Start Using Power Tools for DIY Beginners | The DIY Mommy

[@ingridmenninga]

The timing of this video is perfect! I find my lack of power tool use is holding me back from more ambitious projects so thank you for the nudge:)

[@elisevautour6292]

Exactly Ingrid. 🌞

[@christinebreitenbach8634]

Thank you for this, I am so nervous to use power tools and this has been so helpful. Also, it is great to have found a Canadian DIYer KZbin channel.

A nailer is definitely on my wish list, Christina! My brother is about to help me build a garden shed / summer house from scratch, so I can do a few projects! Never too old to start - I’m 64!! Can’t wait! A jig saw is also quite useful, I find. Thank you both for the information. Kind regards.from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

[@thediymommy]

Thank you Penny. You are so right - never too old to start. 👍🏻

[@sinastogner9118]

Hey!!!! Love Sean’s input!!! What about a sander? Never thought about a nailer as a beginner tool …Home Depot here I come 🤣🤣. Thanks again 🥰

[@sofaltini9463]

I would prefer a sander too. 😀

[@irisbrouillard9728]

Thank you Sean for your professional viewpoint in this video, love you guys! Always a pleasure to see you working together on projects. You are giving a wonderful example to many of us and to your children.

[@melissasmith4372]

More of these vids please, just got these tools! Thanks 😊👍

My husband is a "collector" as well. As I'm watching this in bed, he comes in from the living room to see what I'm watching because he heard a power tool go off and thought I was watching This Old House without him 😂.

[@thediymommy]

Hahahaha! Love that. 😂

[@kelcritcarroll]

[@teresasprague5885]

Awesome! Thank you both for sharing. My husband does all my cutting but being a CDL driver he isn't always home. It is definitely time for me to learn how to use them myself.

[@Beruthiel45]

I haven't done much DIY that needs power tools in recent years after getting serious health issues, but I did use them a lot back in the day. 😊 If a mitre saw is a bit pricey an ordinary jig saw can be a reasonable substitute, because it's not much more expensive than a drill. I agree with other posters in getting a sander too, very handy in creating or fixing up stuff. We also have a circular saw that works on larger pieces of wood, if you're building fences or decks, but the mitre saw is definitely most useful for creators. In uni doing art we had to make our own stretchers and frames and I loved that mitre saw. 😊 My sons have both been collecting tools and building their own stashes for a few years so we are borrowers now. Power tools have improved a lot since we bought our first ones a very long time ago, much easier to use and with more convenient features. Rather like calculators. 😁 Thanks for the ideas. 👍

This was great thank you for this!!

[@ruthscott5166]

LOL, after watching some of your shows I would never call you a typical DIYer. You do amazing decor.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Thanks Christina and Sean 💖

[@pattyavendt221]

Thank You for sharing your!!! Big shout out to Shawn!!!

[@gnomealone350]

For the mitre saw, I would add to spend a little extra and get one that tilts in both directions. Mine only tilts in one direction, and I’m sure that there is a way to feed the board through to get the opposing mitre, but I’m also equally sure that in my lifetime I’m not going to figure that out.

[@charlievalencia5401]

Thank you for doing this video! I already got my Miter Saw!

[@renalda8786]

Thank you so much for this info! It comes in so handy for the IKEA dresser!

[@laurieg2436]

Thanks for all this great info!!

[@lynelleholmes7138]

Thank you! This is a huge help.

[@jeangay7421]

I love my tools and am starting to learn the miter saw. Just got the Ryobi hand sander and I love it. I have a hand nailer/stapler as our Ryobi one is so big and not handy for small projects and I have hand held miter scissors which I love again for small projects.

[@ginafriend1690]

Good info/demostrations you guys. Thanks! Sean couldn't look any more thrilled ☺ I love tools myself, of any kind! 👍

[@janetbransdon3742]

Saved this video... thank you so much, a great video for a beginner. 😁

[@betbet9870]

Haha, Sean's too cool!😎 Thanks for the info, you guys rock!😊❤

[@babyjinspire]

I don't have a mitre saw, but definitely would love one! My personal fave power tools are the drill, sander, and a circular saw.

[@michellemiller5958]

I think my top three would be a drill, sonic crafter saw, and palm sander.

[@JanineMJoi]

thank you for this. I've been searching what to buy as a beginner woman. I finally figured out to get a finishing nailer, not a brad. I need to build a chicken run. I have an electric drill, but need to move on to the big girl stuff. :)

[@tammy7759]

Thank you! This was great!

[@kelcritcarroll]

Haha! I love the look on your husbands face during this video, he looks a bit likehe is in time out! 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@elisamonerville1906]

Love Sean!!! Thanks for the help!! Love your channel ❤️

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@loripatterson7882]

I love my power tool collection!! I do have a lot of Ryobi too!!

[@hetallee3303]

Great video. Thank you.

[@richastevens2846]

Very helpful.

[@djenkins853]

I love my cordless Ryobi drill. I’ve been wanting a saw so I can do more diy but felt unsure about what to buy. This video was very helpful!!

[@thediymommy]

I'm glad you found the video helpful.

[@LLWW]

I just bought a bunch of Ryobi because of the ryobi days sale at home depot. I have some Dewalt & porter cable too. I stopped buying porter cable though because the stopped updating and adding to their tool line a few years ago. I feel like they are gonna close up soon even though they have been around for over 100years.

[@UandMeGod]

GREAT VIDEO DIY MOMMY!!!!! ***Also I love your different overalls in your intro video! The floral pair were adorable! Fashionable and functional!!! =)

[@kathyolgeirsson4028]

You two are so cute! ❤️ I love my Ryobi driver/ drill, too! 😀

[@michellestratford9753]

I don't know if you'd consider it a power tool, but as a furniture artist, I can say I'd be completely lost without my dremel. I have a bunch of different attachments to it, and use it at least once a day. Cheers😊

[@thediymommy]

A Dremel is a great tool too!

[@melissalay5945]

I. Have a skill saw works great

[@grisellescakes]

All I can handle is the electric drill, the rest to me is very intimidating. But cool 😎 if you can handle them. 🙌

[@sofaltini9463]

in Greece the houses have not much wood. so a nailer isn't so necessary. I would replace it with a sander. 😃😃

[@gretasergeant5777]

GREAT VIDEO, thank you so much... But am I the only one that noticed he mixed up the names for Phillips and Robertson (1:18)?

[@dssouthern]

Shawn should have a KZbin channel on how to use tools

[@elisevautour6292]

Hi guys. I saved this post. It's been about 25 years since I have used electrical tools. 🌞🥰

[@lissettemontalvo9625]

I love power tools but I prefer my husband using them lol, I am only comfortable with the power drill so far. The other ones intimidate me 😬😂😂

[@skrefurbishedinteriors]

for those who are scared or can't afford a mitre saw, I have a mitre block box, it works so perfectly, cheap and perfect for beginners.

[@TheLynettebacote]

Hubby’s facial expressions are me under my mask during Covid now I’m back to wondering how I look to others . 😅

[@toneil8470]

Love my power tools and using my husbands.
