Top 10 Best Construction Tools List in 2018 … [with pictures]

Whether you’re working in a construction firm or you just want to do some DIY, you need to have the best tools for the job. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools out there that you can buy readily in stores or online. I do have to point out that these tools, although highly effective, should be used with caution. You have to know how to use them first before buying them.

So, without further ado, here are the best ten construction tools in 2018:

1 Cordless Compact Sanders

If you need to smoothen out the edges of, say, a wooden door or something similar, you need to make use of sanders. For those of you who are unfamiliar, sanders make use of a special sand-like material to correctly and effectively smoothen out rough edges. This is mainly used in construction and engineers, but luckily for you, you can buy one as there are already cordless compact sanders.

Back in the day, sanders required a lot of power from the outlet and although it does the job, it is quite cumbersome to use because of the wires. Now, that is a thing of the past and you can use one of the cordless compact sanders with ease. They usually come with batteries that last a long time and have various attachments that are fit for a specific job. Plus, they’re compact and lighter than the sanders of old, so that is a huge benefit!

2 M12 Compact Charger and Power Source

Most power tools make use of an M12 battery (this is a standard battery) and since it is using a battery, it would need some charging from time to time. Isn’t it cumbersome to have the power tools being plugged and charged only at specific locations? Well, fret no more! There are now highly-usable m12 compact chargers out there in the market, and what’s more is that they also come with their own power source as well!

What’s also great about these compact chargers is that they can pretty much fully charge your m12 batteries in a matter of a few hours (roughly 3 hours). So, from a dead battery to fully charged, have an m12 compact charger handy every day!

5 DAP Smartbond Adhesives

If you want to stick together some things such as plywood and the like, you will need to have an adhesive as a bonding agent. There are adhesive cartridges out there that do the job, but it would require a lot of them to work.

The DAP Smartbond Adhesive is an amazing product; it helps you work smarter, not harder. What this product does is that it acts as a bonding agent, similar to an adhesive cartridge, but it’s much stronger and requires only a fraction of the agent on the platform.
