I'm diving into a major renovation at my new home and would love some recommendations for tools. So far, I've picked up a drill, a multi-tool, and a work light. I'm considering adding an impact driver and a circular saw, but I'd like to know what other tools might be essential for an extensive renovation. Any suggestions?

Honestly, you’ll want all those tools! But if I had to rank them, I’d say get a vacuum, then a blower, and of course an impact driver. After that, a drill, a light, and maybe a portable speaker for some tunes while you work!
For sure, you should consider getting a vacuum with a dust extraction attachment or a jobsite blower. An SDS rotary hammer has been a game changer for me too. My go-to tool is definitely my impact driver, but a good vacuum has really helped keep things clean.
Don't overlook general-purpose tools! A reciprocating saw is super handy even if it's mainly a demolition tool. Depending on your project, you might find it invaluable. And if you've got trees or bushes, a pruner is a must-have. That thing has saved me a ton of time and labor!
OMG, I totally agree! The pruner was my best purchase. I didn’t think I'd use it much, but it's been an essential tool for me. Just watch out while using it—don’t want any accidents! ?
Definitely grab a dust extractor and some adaptors to connect to most of your tools. And don’t forget personal protective equipment for when the dust escapes!
