Three questions
to narrow it down.
A useful specification is one that helps with your actual job. Keep the brief simple before comparing models.
- What are you working on?Start with the material, size and result. A curved cut, a deep hole and a smooth finish call for different tools.
- How often will you use it?Think about handling, storage and the workload you actually have, rather than the most demanding job you can imagine.
- What else does it need?Include suitable accessories, batteries, chargers and support equipment when comparing the complete cost.
