It’s inevitable. If you own a home, you will have to make a repair. These five tools are a necessity to have in your home to complete routine maintenance.
Tape Measure – How many times have you asked: Will this fit there? A quality tape measure is necessary for many projects in a home. Everything from hanging artwork to more advanced construction efforts. A standard 25 ft model is enough for more home owners, but more advanced DIYers may prefer a 35 ft or digital style.
Step Ladder – Standing on chairs or a stack of household items is unsafe. Ladders are handy for everything from changing a lightbulb to dusting ceiling fan blades. Invest in a ladder that can accommodate your body weight plus whatever is is you may be climbing with.
Screwdrivers – Assembling furniture or toys? Tightening kitchen cabinet hardware? Guess what you will need? A screwdriver. Invest in a set with both flat head and phillips styles (bonus if it also has star-shaped or hexagon heads).
Claw Hammer – A good hammer is often needed around the house. Hanging pictures, Removing a nail, trim or floorboards will all require one. A standard 16 oz model will work best for most home owners.
Pliers – A good set of pliers quickly becomes indispensable around the house. Whether it is to remove stubborn nuts and bolts or an emergency plumbing repair, you’ll be glad you have them.
Cordless Drill – A cordless will soon become your favorite tool in your arsenal. It also doubles as a power screwdriver which help you to make quick work of many household projects.
While this is not a list of every tool that you will need in your home, these five tools will help to make many of your household chores a little easier.
