Power Tools!

When I moved to my first apartment after college, a tiny three bedroom row-house in Georgetown with two crazies I met on Craigslist, my mom brought many things for my new place: some dishes handed down from my aunt Jan, silverware from my grandma's friend Fran, a new couch which I am currently sitting on and this drill. At the time I appreciated this gift about as much as I appreciated the emergency car kit I got on my 16th birthday, but let me tell you this baby has been used more times than I ever thought possible and of all the items she brought from Michigan to that very first apartment it is the only one (save the couch) still in daily use. Real Simple even called it one of the top 3 best cordless drills. This drill has been used to hang just about everything I have ever hung on a wall and put together more Ikea furniture than I thought humanly possible. My mom has given me some interesting gifts over the years but this has been one of the best. Who knew a power tool could be so useful. Happy drilling!
