1. Screwdriver

You need a small collection of screwdrivers reflecting a variety of screw sizes and shapes. An all-purpose tool is a ratchet handle with different interchangeable bits. This makes turning the screwdriver easier and means one toll will do the work of many.

A screwdriver is one of the most basic and important tools when doing DIY projects. Although small and compact, a screwdriver will make it very easy for you to tighten and remove bolts of different shapes and sizes.

2. Pliers

If you ever work with electrical cables you will need pliers. You will find that you also use them for gripping and holding things, bending metal, and sniping.

There are several types of pliers so as well as electrical pliers you might also have locking pliers to give you a firm hold on an object.

Depending on the type of DIY project you’re working on, it’s best if you research the different types of pliers first and determine how these are used. The more you know about pliers, the easier it’ll be for you to pick one that suits your needs.

3. Utility Knife

One of the most used tools in your toolbox will be the utility knife. A retractable blade makes it safer than a conventional knife.

Replaceable blades mean you can always have a sharp knife to cut carpet, caulking, cardboard, or whatever you need to cut.

A utility knife allows you to cut through different materials for various purposes. Utility knives are small, allowing you to carry them anywhere with ease!

4. Hammer

Since early man first picked up a rock and used it to hit something with, the hammer has been part of any credible tool kit. A claw hammer performs two tasks. It can be used to hammer in nails and to pull them out too.

By using a hammer properly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that all of your DIY projects are built properly.

A hammer is especially important if you’re fond of making big DIY projects such as sheds and other woodwork.

5. Safety Glasses

Both hand and power tools are hazardous and can cause injuries. Protective eyewear is one way you can reduce the risk of injury. Wear them whenever there is a risk of flying material entering your eyes.

Wearing safety glasses is a must, especially if your DIY projects involve the use of electricity. Excessive exposure to electrical tools when making DIY projects can cause severe damage to your eyes and, in worse cases, blindness.

6. Saw

A handsaw might seem an archaic tool in a world dominated by power tools but it’s still popular. For some carpentry jobs, you need power and versatility. For this, get the best jigsaw you can afford.

7. Level

Whether you want to have level pathways, a bookshelf, or a gently sloping shower floor a level is a tool for you. Levels come in all shapes and sizes from a tiny one that will fit in your pocket, to long builders’ levels for major construction jobs.

8. Ladder

Any job that involves working at height can be a challenge. Climbing or reaching high above your head is inherently dangerous. A ladder brings you closer to the task.

9. Tape Measure

A common mistake on any construction or woodworking project is to get measurements wrong. A reliable tape measure is essential for accurate cutting and fitting especially if you want to avoid having to redo your work.

10. Power Drill

A power drill turns difficult tasks into easy ones. A cordless drill can be used as a powered screwdriver to drive screws in effortlessly.

This kind of drill is very common today and can be purchased from many online platforms such as cordlessdrillguide.com. It can also be used to drill holes and a hammer drill will do this in really tough materials.
