I was a DIY noob before I bought my house a few years ago. I'd helped my Dad do stuff as a kid but not loads. My Fein was the first thing I bought after a drill, and I've used it loads.

​

I'd go for a multitool for those jobs. It works fine for cutting pipe, and with one of the longer blades it's great for cutting straight lines, as the blade stays in the cut:

It's great for cutting things around the house, as you can trim things where they are.

With a narrower blade it'll also do curves really nicely. I've got some curved shelves in my kitchen I did with my Fein.

If they're anything like the ones in my old kitchen the heat from the halogens is fucking the cable up. You can obviously test with one of your working bulbs, but if the sockets seems dead, replace the socket cable.

From memory you should be able to pull the existing cable down fairly easily to where it's screwed in.
