A sawz-all will get the MOST use for remodeling

Knowledge. Home Depot and Lowes have open seminars on remodeling and fix-it-up projects posted in thier stores. They also sell books, however, the library also has several reference materials, magazines, and video media to learn how to do things. As for the best tool, without knowledge, all tools are useless.

My most useful tool is a set of cordless tools (Sears Craftsman, 19.2 volt). It includes a small skilsaw, a work light, a drill, and a sawzall. However, I also have a worm-drive regular skilsaw and an assortment of hand tools. Besides many other tools I have, these are the ones I use the most (I do remodeling work, and have for 35 years).

That's tough... THE best tool. I would say a good kit that has a little bit of everything. A nice one may have 50 - 150 pieces and can run anywhere from $60 to $90. Sears is the place...

Best tool is a library card. I have over the years done just about everything and I always start by going to library and finding out what is what first off

There is no best tool. The most common bought and used tool is a cordless screwdriver. Your best tool would be some knowledge of what you are going to do. Then go buy some hand tools, and determine what you think is the best tool.

if the do it your self remodeler is anything like my dad, I would have to say the instructions. He got a framing naler and was using it, and he said the tool was not working, so we looked and he had the air pressure set on 190psi, it was supposed to be set on 90psi, the nails were going through thr roof and into the neighbors yards,

Power drill would be high on my list, I use mine weekly for something. Mostly for screwing in screws, but of course they drill anything needed also.
I have a (power) jig saw, a tack gun and a circular saw, they almost never get used.
I have a fine hand saw, I call it Japanese although it was made in the USA. I couldn't manage without it. I cut through a Formica counter top recently with it.
A Phillips screw driver is mandatory.
Pliers. The crooked ones, I forget the name.
I require my glue gun for many things .
Happy Holidays, I hope one of these helps.

Home Depot has a book series of "Do it yourself". It has step by step processes of how to do everything home related. They are great.

a printing press and 10.00 plates so that you have the means to pay a professional contractor to come in and make the nescessary repairs after youve wired your kitchen sink for 220v and electrocuted yout daughters cat
