I am a DIY wannabe. I have quite a few simple Black and Decker tools but the manuals are so complicated and so not user friendly. I looked on Amazon to find a nice, easy, walk-me-through-and-not-scare-me how-to book and couldn't begin to pick one. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, easy to understand how-to for power tools?

I have this book, and it has a good section tools and their use.

There is a series of books called Sunset. They are paper back and about the size of a magazine. I have gotten them at home depot on several subjects.
Hahahaha! Hilarious comment about the thumbs! Since there are so many female handymen (?) nowadays, I would say to check out some of the websites by TLC and DIY. There is a show called Toolbelt Diva on one of the channels. Also, look at Trading Spaces girl carpenter... lots of women involved in tool things. That's on TLC, too. Good luck!
Hi Sheila....there is also a website that I have used on several occasions called howstuffworks.com ....has many, many interesting things and an excellent selection on DIY.....good luck.....Kay from New South Wales, Australia
Check the "For Dummies" collection, they must have something.

Hi Sheila!
Power saws are very dangerous and must be respected!
1. Always prepare an uncluttered place for cutting your material.
2. Always make a mark or straight line on the object you are cutting.
Listening to radio there are a few DIY books being recalled because bad info on wiring a few even sold
at Lowes, and online. Google "DIY book recall" to see.
