Start a tools and DIY dropshipping store
Short answer
DIYers buy targeted solutions to a problem: a bit set, a magnetic wristband, a laser tape measure. Small tools and helpers are light, ship well and are easy to show in use. Large cordless machines are heavy, bring warranty cases and more rules, so they are less suited for a start.
