I bought this drill set on Amazon and ended up breaking 2 pilot bits so had to buy more lol. Also I bought this saw and these clamps. Let me know if you have any questions and we can try to figure this out together!

Best advice I can give is to buy things as you need them. I added a bunch of stuff to my Amazon wish list (jigsaw, reciprocating saw, orbital sander, router, etc) and it really adds up, but I'm going to take it one step at a time so I don't blow my entire paycheck on tools.

Then I'd pass.

Assuming your budget is around $200. Here's what I'd do.

  1. Wait till Home Depot has a Ryobi sale. You can usually get a Drill + impact driver and 2 batteries for $100 when they do.
  2. Buy one of these two
  3. Catch a good circular saw on craigslist for $50, or something like this from Amazon if you can't find anything good used (good = retail price $100+).

    If your budget is a bit more, I'd plan to spend $100 to $150 on a nice powered circular saw, and still get the Ryobi drill, and the read reviews on jig saws to find a good one.
