QI’ve just bought my first home and would like to learn how to hang shelves, put up photos and do other odd jobs. Any recommendations for a good starter tool?

When it comes to finishing decorating jobs around the house, the idea of using a power drill can be daunting to some, but don’t let it put you off. Invest in the cordless 18v Lithium-ion drill driver with charger and kit box, £59.99 (Bdcdc18k) from Black & decker. It has the power and speed to drill into wood, metal and plastic, and is ideal for all screwdriving tasks. It holds more than 80% of its charge over 90 days while idle, so no need to charge before each use. Plus, with an anti-slip soft grip, and variable speeds for ultimate fingertip control, it’s comfortable to use. This is a fantastic model for beginner diyers – you’ll be fixing up those shelves in no time!
