What tools should be in a basic toolbox of a homeowner?
I've just bought my first home (YAY!)
but we kinda lack a toolbox...
We have hardwood & tile floors & tile countertops, in case that makes any difference!
(we have various kinds screwdrivers, a hammer, a level, a utlity knife, a tape measure)
i was thinking we NEED to get a screw gun / drill...
what other tools should we get for it?
o0h! i think i'll need a dremel as well, one of the tiles on the counter is badly cracked
Buy a good quality 3/8 cordless drill. ($100) If you have a hammer, plier, side cutter, slip joint plier, tape measure, screwdrivers, etc, you might want to add a few power tools. a decent jig saw will likely get used more than a circular saw unless you get into heavy construction.
I would then be looking for a small aircompressor (2 hp) and a couple of nail guns. One for small trim nails, and one for larger nails. With that, you can do a lot of things.
Another great item is a box of nitrile gloves. (100 per box at less than $10) You will keep your hands clean of stains, glues, and dirt.
