Hi igloo, As a woman who started out not knowing pliers from a wrench, and has since done almost everything in our whole-house remodel, I'll give you my perspective. I think I remember you saying in the past that you're a small person? Even if not, these tools are made for men. They're heavy -- I've given myself wrist/thumb problems from using my drill a lot because of the torque when it stops. So check out any hand held tools for a while to make sure they're very manageable for you. Next, it doesn't seem to me that you need a table saw. That opens a whole can of worms: tools like TSs, jointers, planers, etc, need a very good dust collection system, and that gets complicated and controversial. It's the fine dust, the dust you can't even see, that is harmful to your lungs. You don't actually have to worry as much about the typical sawdust you generate, the stuff you're very aware of, because you kick it out of your lungs when you breathe. The fine stuff lodges in them. Given that, if you start wanting to build cabinets and/or furniture, you will need a TS, and I definitely recommend buying a cabinet saw (as opposed to a contractor's saw) that costs at least $2300 or so. The Sawstop is a very good saw, from what I've read. But you're paying $1000 extra for the stop feature. Losing fingers happens often enough to seasoned woodworkers, but danger from kickback is a lot more common, and it can't stop that. For $1K less you can get others of a similar quality (I have and like the Powermatic 2000.) The cheaper ones (contractor's saws) are inaccurate in any number of ways for cabinetmaking. I bought an $88 wet saw from HD a few years ago. I installed tile on three smallish rooms and it worked like a charm. Much better to buy than rent 'cuz they're not expensive, and you can take your time with them. I'm impressed by what I've seen of Festools, but I've worked with their vacuum and a Fein Turbo III vacuum, and I prefer the latter. (I encouraged my boss to buy the Festool vac and now I wish I hadn't, it's unwieldy.) The Fein, a little more expensive, with a HEPA filter, moves around easily and is less clunky. And its suction (see stats on website) is at least as good as on the Festool. You'd have to check out whether its hose will hook up to Festool tools. If you're doing only trim work, you don't need to worry about most of these things. I'd start with just the tools that are needed. If you find you need more, you can buy as you go. Buying tools never stops. Even tho I've got an 8" jointer, cabinet saw, etc, in my basement, that work very well for my household needs (building cabinets) they look like toys compared to the ones my boss uses. So spend your money selectively and try to resist buying all kinds of things you won't use much! Sombreuil said a very true thing: Great work can be done with a limited number and quality of tools, but it takes longer and requires more experience. Don't expect things like miter saws to work right out-of-the-box. They need to be tweaked and tuned. And for a beginner this will be even more potentially frustrating, but it is a wonderful way to learn. I'm far from a pro but I've found out that it takes a lot of skill to do good work! Crown moldings are among the most frustrating things I've ever done, because no angle in your house is 90 degrees. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy the work!

Just to clear up some potential confusion, the word "torque" gets used a couple of different ways. Torque is a measurement of turning force, so a drill that doesn't have enough power to drive a screw cleanly is said to not have enough torque. On the other hand, torque can be used as a measure of tightness when one is installing certain kinds of fasteners. A "torque wrench" used by a mechanic to tighten bolts that hold car parts together doesn't actually provide any torque; rather, it measures the torque being applied and tells the mechanic when the bolt is tight enough. Similarly, the clutch on many drills (mostly rechargeables) allows you to adjust the maximum turning force that the tool applies to the work before the clutch starts slippling and the the chuck stops turning. As Brickeyee points out, tightening to a particular torque is NOT the appropriate means of determining when a drywall screw has been driven in far enough. The mechanisms on dedicated drivers that stop the tool from turning the fastener at the appropriate moment are another reason they do their job so well. The point I was trying to make earlier is that compromise is going to be inevitable, so you'll need to consider which sorts of tasks you'll do most often in order to make sense of your options. Then, try out several models and see which seems best. I don't know of any shortcuts to that process.

Shaving DOES NOT MAKE THE HAIR GROW BACK THICKER or coarser. That's an absolute myth. But the stubbles can both feel and appear that way, especially if you have dark, coarse hair in the first place. I'm a razor user, doing so in the shower. I've never tried an epilator or threading device, so I can't speak to their efficacy. Seems a whole lot safer than waxes, chemical treatments, or lasers.

Based on your three choices, I would probably pick the Dewalt, but also decide if any of the combo deals might be useful. For example, a circular saw is very useful if you are going to need to cut any type of lumber (2x4's, plywood, etc.). I have also found a reciprocating saw very useful for house demo work, and for work around the yard (trim branches, cut tree roots while digging, etc.). Brushless will usually last longer on a battery charge, and should require less maintenance, but the standard motors are fine for work around the home. For an initial set I would probably pick the drill and circular saw combo, since it also appears to include two batteries and a charger. If you want a drill that is more compact, I purchased the Makita 18v brushless subcompact drill as part of a set that included the drill, impact driver, charger and two batteries. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-18-Volt-LXT-Lithium-Ion-Sub-Compact-Brushless-Cordless-2-piece-Combo-Kit-Driver-Drill-Impact-Driver-2-0Ah-CX200RB/207051121  I was constructing an addition to my house, and found the impact driver to be really useful for driving long screws of all types.
