Here are a few basic tools to start your tool kit.
1. Screwdriver set
A set of screwdrivers are very useful in repairing cabinets, installing light switches, or putting together furniture. Some screwdrivers also come with different ends which you can remove and swap so instead of a set, you can have an all-in-one tool.
2. Tape measure
A tape measure will come in handy when you need to measure and buy wood from the hardware shop. It can also be used to check if a piece of furniture will fit in your space or measure wall space when hanging frames or installing shelves.
3. Wrench
A wrench can be very useful in bathroom upgrades like replacing faucets, showerheads, or installing a bidet. It can also be used in furniture or appliances which require nuts and bolts in the assembly.
4. Hammer
A hammer is a must-have when assembling or disassembling home items which have nails. It is a handy tool when it comes to hanging frames and making simple wood projects.
5. Electric drill
Some projects will require a little more power than what a hammer or some screwdrivers can provide. A drill can be useful in installing shelves or hanging curtain rods. Electric drills come cordless and in smaller sizes for home use.
6. Flashlight
Flashlights and can be helpful in repairs and upgrades which require one to be precise. It can help with repairs under the sink or if you have to work in small spaces which have low light.
7. Tool box
Of course, you will need to have a toolbox to keep all your tools. Having a toolbox can help keep tools organized and can protect them from damage while not in use.
Having a toolbox can be the first step in doing simple home repairs and do-it-yourself projects.
However, it is still better to hire and consult licensed professionals for elaborate work that requires more advanced skills.
