Battery powered tools are some of the most versatile helpers you can have in your<\/span> garage<\/a><\/strong>. Going cordless means the freedom to go wherever your project takes you, including those hard-to-reach angles, nooks and crannies where air tools or corded units simply can\u2019t fit. You can also throw battery tools in your trunk and bring them with you to help out a friend or take care of business somewhere far away from the nearest outlet, like a camp site, a race track or on the trail.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out the top five battery powered tools you need for your garage.<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Cordless Drill<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019re always going to need to make a hole somewhere \u2014 whether it\u2019s to mount a new component on your car, drill out an old rivet or screw in some shelves. A<\/span> cordless drill<\/a><\/strong> is one of the battery powered tools that should definitely be in your garage, and it\u2019s also one of the least expensive and most useful members of the cordless family.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Cordless Impact Driver<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Do you find yourself often changing tires on your car? Or maybe you\u2019re tired of dealing with stubborn bolts that just won\u2019t come off no matter how much elbow grease you apply. A cordless impact drive is a great addition to any toolbox, and it can speed up any number of maintenance jobs you\u2019re working on.<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Cordless Reciprocating Saw<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A reciprocating saw is one of the few battery powered tools that is recommended for cutting purposes. Whereas using most saws at an unusual angle is simply too dangerous, the design of this type of saw is almost perfectly conceived to slide in where other cutting implements can\u2019t fit. It\u2019s best to stay away from cordless circular saws for automotive work \u2014 they are simply too unpredictable \u2014 but a cordless reciprocating saw is a great option.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Cordless Rotary Multi-Tool<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A multi-tool \u2014 that is, a device that can use multiple heads \u2014 is perfect for taking on smaller jobs or finishing work that a bulkier device would make a mess of. The ability to use a rotary multi-tool to cut, trim or polish any given surface is what makes it such a useful addition to your garage toolbox.<\/span><\/p>\n 5. Cordless Grinder<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You don\u2019t always need the all-day\u00a0power of a corded grinder while working on a project. Sometimes, it\u2019s better to have the freedom of using a tool above your head without the cord getting in your way. The mobility of a cordless grinder makes it one of the battery powered tools you\u2019ll be thankful you own.<\/span><\/p>\n For more information on battery powered tools, chat with a knowledgeable expert at your local<\/span> NAPA AUTO PARTS store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo Credit:<\/span>\u00a0DeWalt Power Tool – Drill<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>by digital internet<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(<\/span>CC BY-ND 2.0<\/a><\/strong>).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n This article has been reproduced with the permission of the copyright holder, National Automotive Parts Association.
