Choose the right tools for the job

There are certain basic tools any self-respecting owner or tenant needs for everyday home maintenance jobs. A good starting point for the ideal tool box is the hammer. The standard curved-claw or straight-claw hammer is a versatile tool that will help you tackle many of the most common jobs around the house. However, if your task is more complicated or involves working with drywall or metal, for instance, then you’ll need to look at more specialized hammers.

Good pliers are equally indispensable. Make sure they are sturdy and have rubber-covered handles for a firm, comfortable grip. Also check that the mechanism is of good quality.

Screwdrivers are another tool that would be difficult to do without. A multi-bit screwdriver is perfect for all kinds of indoor and outdoor jobs, but there are many other models available to choose from. Add an assortment of different screws, nails and hooks, and your tool box is equipped with all the basics!

Prove that you really can do-it-yourself!

Look in any good home workshop and you’ll find a wide range of time-saving tools and equipment. A good electric drill is a must for drilling holes and driving screws. It’s important to choose the right drill bits, too! Take a look at rotary tools, designed to help you sand, drill, cut, polish or engrave. There’s bound to be one that appeals to the handyman in you. A ladder and stepladder are must-haves for small jobs inside and outside the house. A circular saw and blades, jigsaw and mitre saw will allow you to carry out mid-size projects, both indoors and out.

When shopping for any tool, always pick it up to see how heavy it is and how it feels in your hands, to make sure you choose the one that suits you best.
