( I think it should be required of women to use a power drill at least once in their lives!) lol Thanks for sharing your tool collection.....and your wish list. :) Melissa I am reading your backposts and this one made me feel really good….I have every single tool mentioned with the exception of the magnatic nail holder. :) I LOVE power tools and just tools in general!

Our neighbor used theirs to stain their fence, we used twice as much and it didn't cover the way doing it with a brush did...you could totally tell the difference between my hand painted and my husband's spraying. It was also a total pain to clean!! We ended up just buying our neighbors a new one and keeping the gunked up one and haven't used it since! It also sprayed stain on our vinyl siding which we haven't been able to get off yet! Grr!!! We have a dremel, but I am just starting into using tools so I haven't experienced it yet. We have a circular saw, now I am wondering what I can do with it! Your ideas always inspire me! I want to be an efficient DIYer like you! :) I have to agree on the spray painter.

I think you might like this : an eyelet setter. I'd recommand the crop-a-dile big bite, and a cheap manual one in case you get the occasional hard to reach spot. Crop a dile : https://weronthenet.com/productsx/products/products.aspx?page=cad2.htm Manual setter : http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/eyelet-setter (you will also need a punch like this one for light material : http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/hole-punch) You could install eyelets on leather or fabric projects. The possibilites are endless! I’m not a power tools girl, but I do love scrapbooking tools. I think you might like this : an eyelet setter.

It was horribly loud, and a pain to clean. He used it once. Grrrr! I could have bought myself a coupound miter saw with the money I laid out for his had-to-have paint sprayer. I have a Dremel and you will loooooove it! Make sure you get an extra kit with a lot of different drill bits. I didn't think I'd use the 100 piece kit I got as a gift to my gift and I was so wrong. If you don't get the screw holder tool use a pair of needle nose pliers. I do that because I like having more control over the screw or nail that I'm driving in.

We've got most of the listed items but I would love to have an upholstery gun - I just made a dog bed and that tool would have made it so much easier. One tool to add to your list would be a table saw. We got ours this past April and have used it SO much more than we thought we would. Great tool list!

It is a joke in my house that I can spot things when they are only 1/8 of an inch off. It is some kind of crazy thing in my head that I can see when things are not level. I wish I wasn't like that though. It can make ya crazy;) The girl knows she has some tools:) I am my own leveler.
