With so much time being spent at home currently, you may be thinking about tackling some of the jobs that need doing around the house yourself. If you have never been a DIY enthusiast before, you may not have an at-home tool kit or know what tools you need for each job, so, here is an idea of the basic tools you will need to get you started and make those jobs a little easier.
If you are going to hang pictures or shelving, the tools you will want to use are a hammer, a tape measure and a level for making sure that your shelf or picture is straight.
What about self-assembly furniture items? Very often even the simplest assembly items will require a screwdriver. When purchasing a screwdriver set, make sure it includes both flat head and Philips head screws, that way you won’t be caught out.
Now for the more unpleasant jobs that have to be taken care of around the house such as unblocking a toilet or sink. While you may have to call in a plumber eventually, most of the time a plunger is all you need and will take care of the problem.
These are only a couple of the DIY jobs you may be taking care of around the home. While we are not going to list every job, you may be likely to do, here are a few more basic tools that will help you with those tasks; a wrench set, a saw, a flashlight, and duct tape. Safety equipment should not be forgotten either so include safety glasses, gloves and a breathing mask in your tool kit.
Having the right tools for the job will enable you to work efficiently and achieve a more professional looking finish.
