The Allied 14.4-volt cordless drill with battery and charger is essential gear, along with all the bits and accessories. Everything you could need is here, from a hammer to a hack saw, a socket set and level, combination square, wrench, pliers and of course, a 16-foot tape measure. The perfect gift for someone just starting out and a great set to keep on hand at home.

In between, there’s a great assortment of drill bits, driver bits, Allen wrenches, spade bits, hole saws with a mandrel, adjustable wrench, pliers, needlenose pliers, a hacksaw, level, tape measure, combination square, ratchet and sockets, a box cutter and fasteners. All for the price of a cordless drill alone—-and at such a price, we think it’s a great idea to keep one set in the garage and one in the house. We tried to come up with a do-it-yourself job this kit couldn’t handle… we’re still thinking… but we wish we had this handy the last time we heard the words “some assembly required.” You just can’t go wrong with this set, whether it’s your first tools or a compact, convenient set to keep in the house or garage.
