Tools You Need For Home Improvement
Are you thinking of upgrading your house to a newer and bigger one? There are many new houses for sale, such as houses for sale in Empire Damansara. However, buying a new house costs a lot and can be really unaffordable especially to young working adults. Instead of buying a new house, you can consider having a minor renovation for your house to save yourself some costs. Hiring a contractor or engaging with an interior designer is not a bad idea, but you will need to pay for the extra costs. Therefore, this article will show you the tools you need to have for a minor home renovation. Thus, you will need to have a set of handy toolbox for your house that might help you through some home renovation or minor incidents.
These are the basic tools that you will definitely need in your home, plus they do not cost you an arm and a leg too.
Tape measure Tape measure is one of the most basic, low cost items from your toolbox. It will be handy when it comes to shopping for furniture for your house. Use it to measure spaces in your home and make sure the furniture that you are buying fits through the doorways and hallways. You can use it to measure the width of your windows for binds and curtains as well. A good 25 foot tape measurement will be enough for measuring and can be found at most local hardware stores.
Utility knife Utility knife will be an essential tool in your toolbox and will definitely be handy when you move your newly bought items out of the box. Use the sharp edge of the knife to unbox the moving boxes that are well taped. You can also use the utility knife to gently scrape on the previous paint or wallpaper.
Level This level will help you to keep your hanging art, curtain rods or shelves as well aligned as possible. A level ensures your hanging arts and shelves stay perfectly horizontal. Say bye to crookly-hung photos.
Hammer Sure you are advised not to hammer nails onto the wall, but a good lightweight hammer will suffice in helping you in some minor home improvements or interior design projects, such as building furniture. If a dresser drawer comes apart, just lightly tap the joint with your lightweight hammer to push it back into place.
 Screwdriver set This handy device can assist you with various projects that you are working on in your house, or help you with some minor repair jobs. Having a multiple sizes screwdriver set is better than having a one-sized screwdriver as it allows you to fix and solve different furniture problems from big falling cabinet doors to hanging photos. A good Philips screwdriver is good enough to last you a lifetime.
Assorted nails, screws and hooks It is a good idea to keep different nails and hooks at home because minor home repair projects will arise unexpectedly. Keep them in your toolbox and you will never know when you need to replace a hook on your drawer, a screw on the door knob or a nail to hang your artwork. You can get them easily as most hardware stores sell different nails, screws and hooks where you can stock up with different sizes and keep them organized in your toolbox.
Hex wrench set This hex wrench set, also known as hex key set usually comes with different sizes in a box and it is mostly used for assembly or to fasten bolts and screws with a hexagonal socket. This is a versatile and handy tool that should be in every toolbox. You can find amazing hex wrench set with all sizes on most hardware stores.
Electric drill An electric drill can be an optional item in your toolbox and you can go without a drill, but it is definitely helpful when it comes to drilling holes for your drawers or shelves. An electrical drill will make the assembling of big furniture an easier job. Imagine needing to drill holes in your furniture that cannot be done with a normal screw. That is when your electric drill comes to good use. Invest in an all-in-once electric drill to have your screwdriver and drill in one tool if you wish as an electric drill not only drill holes but also it helps to drive screws as well.
Flashlight While most phones nowadays might make a good flashlight replacement, nothing beats having a real flashlight to help you navigate your home when there is a blackout. Furthermore, it is a safer alternative to lighting up candles, especially if you have young children at home. It is a good idea to keep multiple flashlights at home in case of any emergencies. Even if there are no emergency situations, a flashlight can be a reliable source of light. Keep them in an accessible place so you can reach out to it easily. You can easily find flashlight at a low price from any hardware stores ranging from flashlights that are battery powered to flashlights that are solar powered.
A basic toolkit goes a long way and all these handy tools should fit in a basic toolbox. It is essential to equip yourself with these tools to help you maintain your home by fixing minor home improvements yourself.
