Amazon.com's Featured Gifts: Do-It-Yourself Fans

During their recent site renovation, Amazon.com created a "Home Improvement" category that isn't yet reflected in their aStore heirarchy. Most of these tools are from that new category. On the whole, they're not bad, but remember that power tools don't do a job, they just multiply the amount of work you can do in a given amount of time. If you can wield a tool for 8-10 hours without significant fatigue, chances are it's a gutless toy and you need a REAL tool.

That being said, there are times when you really do want a battery-operated tool, but if you're not sure, get something with a cord or air line. Dragging those around builds character, and you won't be stuck with an underpowered gadget. You should also be aware that rechargeables don't have very good shelf life in occasional-use situations.

Amazon.com publishes a series of gift guides, which change over time and may even disappear altogether. These snapshots are an excellent indication of what products are popular on any given day. While the content of the guide may vary, these Gifts for Do-It-Yourself Fans should be around for a long time...
