This 102-Piece Craftsman Tool Set Doesn’t Include Fasteners. Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve tested a lot of home tool sets over the years and have found that most follow the same playbook. They offer smaller versions of a brand’s standard hand tools. These tools are adequate for handling the odd job around the house—hanging a frame, assembling some furniture, tightening a loose fixture—but undersized when it comes to more involved DIY projects.

Such is the case with the Bosch 12V Max Two-Speed Pocket Drill/Driver, the brand’s most diminutive cordless drill.
