Ok, first things first. Screwdriver or drill? The manual calls it a Cordless Drill/Driver but I don't see any drill bits.
I'm trying to install a curtain rod and it came with wall anchors. I Googled how to install them and it says to first drill a hole(slightly smaller or larger not sure which), then tap the anchor into the hole using a hammer. Don't know if this is right because I'm not sure exactly which type of anchor I have. It is plastic. The directions on the package are just pictures aren't helpful.
My question is can I just use one of the screws to drill holes in the wall then put the anchor in and then screw in the hole?

I need to remove grout from a tile shower. I have the cheap handheld saw grout removing tool - stinks. The hammer and screwdriver as a chisel is slow and I don't want to break the tile. I saw an attachment for a Dremel but I only have a small cordless 7.5 V Dremel. Is there a tool I can attach to a drill or my smaller Dremel without having to buy a bigger Dremel?

I want to buy my husband some tools for our anniversary .... He loves craftsman tools and I was thinking of getting him a new screwdriver set, since he doesn't have a full set. He already owns a compound miter saw, air compressor, impact tools, sockets, 19.2 volt cordless drill and add ons, cobalt blue 3 tiered craftsman tool box, circular saw, jigsaw, router,chain saw, table saw, saw horses and a ton of tools in the tool box... Do you think any of these would make a good gift...Im lost as to what to get him, I want to get him something he likes and will use...not something dumb like a pillow case with my picture on it LOL
Set 1.)

I'm trying to pick out a tools combo for my bf. He planning to use them around the house, should prob. have drill, screwdriver, saw, sander and i don't know what else he'd need. I'm trying to get a good set that worth the price. Maybe lifetime warranty would be good too. I'm looking at couple different brand (makita, craftsman, dewalt, firestorm) and different set, but not sure which to pick. Any suggestion would be great. I never buy tools before so not really sure what to look for. Cordless maybe? Let me know what's a good value set tool combo?
what brand provide lifetime warranty for tools?
how's firestorm compare to craftsman brand?
or what do you think about this set: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00911514000P?vName=Tools&cName=Portable+Power+Tools&sName=Custom+Combo+Kits?

I saw a commercial a month or so ago about some kind of nifty small tool that is maybe a cordless mechanical hammer or drill or something like that. Thought it was Black and Decker and tried to call and ask but they were no help. Need a Christmas present for husband. NOT a regular hammer drill- it was kind of like Black and Decker small adjustable screwdriver but that was not it.... PLEASE HELP!!!

I need to buy a power tool to hang blinds and pictures and plant hooks and bracketed-shelves (with the long metal strip) - so, do I get a corded or cordless screwdriver or drill? I can understand the difference if they were not "powered" - but, with power, don't they both do basically the same thing? (No, I'm not blonde!)
Im talking about the type that have a small rechargeable. You have to disassemble the screwdriver to remove the old battery. Specifically its a Skil Twist model # 2105. I'd hate to just chunk it because the battery goes. Is this really just a disposable power tool? Everything else OK.
with a manual screwdriver or a cordless drill.

I have a black & decker power drill/screwdriver, and the little red button (you know, the one that lets you pick which direction it turns) is stuck in one position. Great for unscrewing or drilling. Useless for screwing.
Is there some "man secret" to fixing this, besides using a hammer? Or is this just a loss??
