![]() | Skil HD77 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Saw
Buy new: $189.99 Best saw on the market. Well balanced, powerful and durable. Get a rafter hook, save time and space. If you are not a fan of the weight (16lbs + aftermarket rafter hook) try the HD77M (magnesium version) or buy a magnesium footplate (for the HD77M or Bosch 1677M) and swap it out with the one on the saw. I find the added weight a plus for stability, when this saw kicks watch out.

![]() | Hitachi NR83A2 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/4-Inch Framing Nailer
Buy new: $275.00 I use only full round head nails for framing, of the other stick nailers I've owned and used this is by far the most superior. Open nose jam clearing, excellent balance, best toe-nailing capacity and not as loud as Porter Cable or Bostitch. Buy a Big Foot flush drive and use it decking or cement board siding.

![]() | Grip-Rite GR2500 15 Amp 3 Horsepower 4-1/4 Gallon Oiled Twin Pontoon Compressor
Buy new: $299.00 Keeps up all day with 3+ framers going full tilt. A bit heavy to lug around for small jobs but this is a great compressor.

|
![]() | Big Foot BFHC75 75 Degree Headcutter Attachment
Buy new: $242.62 I gang cut my rafters using this table and a chain saw. If you take the time to set up your work this is a far more accurate and faster method. The table is nice and heavy for stability and easy to set up on the saw.

![]() | Big Foot SBFX BF 15 Amp 10-1/4-Inch Wormdrive Circular Saw

![]() | Milwaukee 6509-22 Sawzall 11 Amp Reciprocating Saw
Buy new: $94.43 / Used from: $85.00 Cuts material fast. Light weight and versatile. The more expensive models have other nice features but this gets the job done.

![]() | Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Driver Drill Kit
Buy new: $168.63 / Used from: $160.95 The light seemed a bit silly at first but I've found it to actually be quite helpful when working in basements or crawl spaces. This drill is really light weight and has all the power of my 18V NiMH Rigid with twice the battery life.

![]() | Hitachi NV65AH 2-1/2-Inch Coil Siding Nailer
Buy new: $350.00 Really pricey but well worth it. Light, quiet, and with depth of drive. This gun paid for itself on the first job. Also great for fencing and exterior trim work.

![]() | Woods 2806 Yellow Jacket 100-Foot 10/3 SJTW Yellow 15 Amp/125 Volt Rated Outdoor Extension Cord with PowerLite Plug
Buy new: $112.40 Proper gauge extension cords increase the longevity of higher amperage tool motors. A 10/3 is ideal for saws and compressors especially for distances over 50ft or to multiple cut stations.

![]() | Makita LS1013FL 15 Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw with Laser and Fluorescent Light
Buy new: $494.75 / Used from: $400.00 This is a really well designed saw. I particularly like the slow start motor which keeps the saw from jumping in your hand leaving true, smooth cuts every time.
