Home Repair - How To Always Have The Right Tool For The Job
Before beginning home repair work of course you are going to need a basic selection of good tools. Here is a shortlist of what you'll want to consider when putting your toolkit together...
Drilling
A drill is probably one of the first tools you'll want to invest in. A drill like a Dewalt Impact Driver drill will probably give you the best value as it is a very powerful drill both for screwing in large screws and for drilling holes - although not a hammer drill it can still cope well with drilling into masonry. Most drills are cordless nowadays making them very user-friendly and as the technology for batteries has made massive progress in the past few years investing in a couple of spare DeWalt batteries 18v will mean you never need to run out of power. The biggest advantage of this impact driver/drill is that it has extra torque giving the power to screw or drill even into tough, dense material or material of uneven density.
Saw
This is probably the most all-encompassing category of tools, including hand saws, pruning saws, and an unending list of power saws. A high quality circle saw, such as Skil, can accomplish most carpentry tasks. It will easily cut through most boards, plywood, and OSB board. However a circular saw isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Tile or masonry cutting does require a specialty saw - don't try to use one designed for wood. Additionally, a circle saw is ineffective and highly dangerous in any kind of landscaping application. Your outdoor tool shed should include a chain saw, and pruning saw if you are maintaining trees.
Screw-Drivers
One of the most basic tools has become one of the most confusing to purchase. There are many different sorts but buying a good basic driver drill will suffice for most of your drilling needs.
Choose a quality manual ratcheting screwdriver, such as the Wadsworth Ratchet Set. It should have a variety of Phillips, slot, hex, and metric hex bits. It also includes extensions, for long-reach situations. This replaces an entire set of standard drivers. Because standard size screwdriver bits will fit most power drills, an electric screwdriver is unnecessary.
Pliers
Pliers are a must-have in a toolkit. There are many different types of pliers available, but you can start with a medium-sized good quality pair of basic pliers and then add specialised pliers to your toolbox when you know the uses you need them for. Most pliers have inbuilt wire-cutting faciliity so if you just need to cut wire occasionally you won't need to invest in additional specialised wire-cutters.
Hammers
This one is pretty simple. Although there are stubby hammers, nailing hammers, straight claw hammers, and more, most of them do essentially the same thing. Any good quality, mid-weight, curved claw hammer will easily accommodate nearly any task. However, a claw hammer can't take the place of a mallet. If you do any volume of metal bending or straightening, such as auto body work, you need a good rubber mallet as well. However, in a pinch you can use a piece of board (larger than the object, to distribute pressure) over the metal and gently strike with your claw hammer.
All The Rest
The last thing you'll need to have a good assortment of, are screws and nails in varying sizes and things like a tape measure, spirit level, set square, pencils, small knife like a pen knife, notepad and assortment of little trays or containers for putting nails etc. in while you work.
The tools listed above will give you a good selection with which to get started on your projects. It needs to be said that it would be time well spent if you went to a large comprehensive tool supplier and spent time seeing what tools they have on offer. Ingenious tool designers are constantly coming up with new specialised versions of the basic tools that make the jobs they are designed for much easier to accomplish efficiently and successfully than the basic tool. If you like doing diy then you will really enjoy seeing what's now available and the information may come in very useful for future projects.
