Avid do-it-yourselfers should always have a variety of tools on hand before starting a remodeling project. When building your workshop, look beyond the standard tools such as hammers, pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches.
If you seem to always be involved in renovations, you’ll need some more professional level tools to get the job done. Look in your workshop to ensure you have the following tools and supplies handy. You’ll need them if you’re always working around the home.
- Toolbox – Organization is important when you have many projects going on around the home. When you lack organization, you may find yourself buying tools and supplies that you already have. One key to being organized is to purchase a quality toolbox. This toolbox should have many different compartments along with a handle for lifting and transporting from room to room.
2. Demolition, Crow or Pry Bar– The first step in home remodeling often involves demolition. Make the process easier with a pry bar or demolition tool. This tool is especially important in the removal of kitchen cabinets and counter tops.
3. Dust Mask, Work Gloves and Safety Eyewear – Be safe whenever you are working around the home. Protect your lungs from dust and other contaminants by always wearing a dust mask. Also, protect your eyes from debris with safety glasses and your hands with quality work gloves.
4. Cable, Stud and Pipe Detector – This handy multi-functional tool can be used to detect materials that cannot be seen behind the walls such as wood, metal and wiring.
5. Cordless Drill/Driver – Perhaps one of the most handy tools to have in your repertoire is that of a cordless drill/driver. You’ll use it with almost every home project. Opt for cordless as it allows for much more flexibility. Be sure to purchase a drill set for various applications.
6. Nail Gun and Compressor – Work smarter not harder. Use a nail gun in lieu of the standard hammer and nails process. It is much easier and is also fun to use.
7. Laser Level – Ensure everything is hung evenly with a laser level. Choose one equipped with suction for added ease and convenience.
8. Portable Work Light – Lighting is extremely important when working in the home. This is especially true in areas where lighting has not yet been installed and while working during after hours when the sun has gone down. Work for longer hours and with added accuracy by using a portable work light such as a waterproof LED work light.
Don’t forget about smaller tools and supplies for your projects too! Make sure you have a pair of scissors and utility knife easily accessible. Electrical and plumber’s tape, a tape measure and an assortment of nails and screws are also a necessity for home improvement.
