By NICHOLAS WILSON
Cordless Drill Kit
Menards' Ultra Compact 20-Volt Brushless Cordless 1/2 Drill for $99 features variable speeds from 0 to 500 and 0 to 1,850 RPM, offering 525 pounds of torque.
Brushless motors reduce heat production and can last longer than carbon brushes. The kit comes with the drill, two batteries, a bag, a charger, a PH2 drive bit, and a belt clip.
Portable Generator
The Generac gas-powered, portable generator produces 8,125 starting and 6,500 running watts, can hold 6.9 gallons of fuel, and runs at 50% load for 11.5 hours.
The generator is EPA-approved and CO-Safe, meaning it will automatically turn off if high levels of carbon monoxide are detected. It has a retail price of $899 at Menards.
Leaf Blower
The Masterforce 730 CFM 80-Volt Brushless Cordless Leaf Blower produces an airflow of up to 730 cubic feet per minute and up to 170 miles per hour.
The leaf blower has various settings and a battery that can keep it running for up to 30 minutes on one charge. You can purchase it at Menards for $249.99.
