If the drill has a hammer action this means that the chuck hammers as well as rotates, this gives you more power to get through tough materials.

Powered screwdrivers are also popular power tools, they do the same job as a manual screw driver but do all of the work for you. The power of a powered screwdriver is measured in voltage, the higher the voltage the more power the screw driver will have and therefore the better it will be at tough screw driving jobs. Some powered screwdrivers also have a spindle lock which allows for the screwdriver to be used as a manual screwdriver, some also have torque settings which means you can adjust the power of the screwdriver. There are many brands offering powered screwdrivers and they include Black & Decker, Challenge, Bosch, Ryobi, JCB, Dewalt, Worx and lots of others.
Jigsaws are popular power tools that are for cutting sheet material, there are many different types of jigsaw depending on the material you are cutting. For instance mitre saws are used for cutting straight or at precise angles and reciprocating saws are used for cutting that is very close to the surface, you can also get multi-saws which are good for cutting a variety of materials such as timber and other sheet materials. If you are looking for speed then get a jigsaw with a pendulum action, these are faster than normal jigsaws so will save you time.
Sanders are also popular types of power tools, they are used for sanding down materials such as wood in the same way you would use sandpaper. They do all of the work for you though so are great if you need to sand down large surfaces, belt sanders have a continuous roll of sandpaper. There are two main types of sander, the orbital and sheet sanders are used for large surfaces whereas the detail sanders are used where fine detail is needed, you can buy sanders that are capable of both sanding methods.
