Think getting one of those cheap Makita ripoffs is the way to go. It uses all the same accessories apparently. Then upgrade if I feel I'm missing something. For diy I'm a big believer in buy cheap first.

I'd think about also buying the plunger attachment. I didn't but it would have come in handy a couple of times.
