Getting your tool collection together is essential if you want to succeed with home or automotive repair and DIY jobs. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of types of tools and many of them can be quite expensive. To keep your collection down to an affordable size, you can focus on the most essential tools first. Another great idea is to browse Home Depot tools, including at your local store. Both of these techniques help you figure out what you want and will really use. In both of these cases, however, you can still end up paying a ton of money that you otherwise wouldn’t if you were shopping thriftily.

So, to give you a leg up on ever-changing prices, we endeavored to look out for great power tool deals. We’re sorting by brand, as most power tools today are cordless and use a special brand-associate battery. For example, if you have a Milwaukee M18 battery you can use it with all Milwaukee M18 tools. In this way, sticking to one brand (and battery size) is highly efficient. To use this guide best, start with brands you know and then go from there. We’ll also have battery deals listed, if we find them, so you can get started with a new brand on the cheap.

The 11 best Steven Spielberg movies, ranked
These timeless classics are by the master movie director himself
Steven Spielberg in the mouth of Jaws

There are certain people who are instantly tied to their profession when you hear their name. When you think about your favorite memories at the cinema, Steven Spielberg is as synonymous with success as Michael Jordan is with basketball. The visionary director of such classics as Jaws, Indiana Jones, and E.T., Spielberg is quite possibly the most popular and influential filmmaker since the dawn of contemporary American cinema.
Born in 1946, Spielberg was always fascinated by cinema and the magic it creates. From a very young age, he was creating short films and imagining grand set designs for his ideas. In 1969, he got his first real chance with a seven-year contract as a director, and he was the youngest director to be signed to a major Hollywood company. Due to his dedication and hard work, Spielberg rose to national acclaim just eight years later with the release of Jaws.
Being so popular and successful comes a long way, but it helps to have the assistance of so many other talents on your side. Spielberg has worked with many who made his film resume that much stronger, some of which include George Lucas, Richard Dreyfuss, Kathleen Kennedy, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, and most notably, composer John Williams.
Spielberg and Williams have worked together in 27 films over 40 years -- Spielberg stating that Williams has been "... {B}reathing life into every movie we have made." The two have always worked together to create movie magic for decades, sharing a vision and seeing it through to the sometimes bitter end. For Spielberg, one is not without the other, as Spielberg once said, "... if movies are like lightning, then the musical score for me is like thunder. It can shake things up for years." Due to this, I had to dedicate this to Williams as well.
So now, without further ado, let’s rank the top 10 Steven Spielberg movies and show you his directorial history.
