Creative Registry Ideas: Drills & Home Improvement Items

Posted by Adam Warner on Dec 12, 2011

A wedding registry makes for a terrific opportunity to upgrade that personal tool collection -- especially for those many newlyweds moving into a home for the first time. Whether it's big projects like updating the bathroom or just simple tasks around the house, power tools and home improvement items will certainly come in handy for years to come.

First, it's essential that couples are equipped with a cordless power drill. The Craftsman 19.2 volt C3 Cordless Drill is one of the most versatile drills on the market and comes at a great value. The power battery features a variable speed motor and enables one to drill at low and high speeds. Starting at $59.99.

Be sure to add in a 54-Piece Power Driving Set for a variety of drilling options. This particular set by Craftsman includes a "Quick Connector" for seamless tool changes, plus some of the most popular screwdriver and nut driver sizes.

Meanwhile, when it comes to storage, the Waterloo 6 Drawer Tool Chest (Starting at $159.99) is perfect for all of your needs. In addition to three split and three full-width drawers inside the chest, the Waterloo includes a large in-cabinet storage area for numerous tools and equipment, plus side handles for easy lifting. Looking for something more heavy duty? Go with the 26-inch wide 5-Drawer Quiet Glide Rollaway Chest that holds up to 50 lbs. per drawer.
