Top 6 household tools
Buying a home is exciting, but once you've made it and moved in, you become responsible for maintaining your new home. In other words, you no longer have a homeowner to fix a broken toilet or a leaky faucet. Having a few essentials in your toolbox will help you make routine repairs yourself.
6 Putty knife
If you need to gently hide cracks, scrape off dried paint or apply sealant, it is recommended to use a trowel with a stiff 2-inch metal blade.
5 Clipper
One side of the hammer head is flat and used for hammering, while the other has a V-notch that can be used to remove nails from surfaces such as wood without damaging the nails or the surface. You need a claw hammer made from materials that can withstand harsh weather and reduce vibrations transmitted from the hammer to your hand.
4 Hand screwdriver set
A hand-operated screwdriver is one of the most commonly used tools in the household and is suitable, among other things, for assembling furniture, removing switch covers and tightening cabinet handles. But there are different screw heads and sizes, so buy a package with multiple tips and blade sizes.
3 Pliers
Pliers can be used to bend and grip nails and wires where larger tools or fingers cannot reach; slotted pliers are useful for fastening and crimping tasks.
2 Stapler
The staple gun is great for standard carpet laying and fabric securing tasks. It is the perfect tool for quick fastening. Manual staple guns are the tool of choice for most homeowners because they tend to be easier to use and less expensive than electric and pneumatic staple guns.
1 Hex key set
The hex wrench is used to tighten the hex head bolts and screws. The hex wrench is often found in furniture that you can assemble yourself, and can also be used for basic plumbing repairs.
