I'm thankful for mastering new skills

Not only can I solder, but today I got reasonably handy with the electric drill and it's screwdriver attachment. My resulting square set of wall shelves won't win any awards for good craftsmanship, but I feel a ridiculous sense of accomplishment, considering how *un*handy I have always been.

 

Next the miter saw (nm)

Electric drills with screwdriver attachments are one of the greatest inventions of mankind! Now if only they could make a battery that lasted.

Does it have plenty of power?

Even with the corded drill, I barely got some of the screws in. I guess they hit a knot or something.

I can feel every muscle I used.

It has 2 rechargeable batteries. I don't remember it ever running out during a project. But if you want max power, go corded.
