My husband and I are building a straw bale home starting this spring. So far, my husband has an electric drill and a power saw (made by skilsaw). His Birthday is coming up, and I want to buy him another power tool which would help us build our house. I am COMPLETELY illiterate about this kind of stuff. A friend has suggested 1)worm drive skill saw 2)cordless drill 3) sawsall 4)compound miter saw. Do any of you fantastic homebuilders have any ideas for me on what would be the best power tool to get him? Thank you!
