So You Want To Get Into DIY? Here Are The Tools You Need

DIY is such a useful skill for all homeowners to have. You will no longer need to call out any professional workmen to do odd jobs around your home. So you will be able to save a lot of money on your various household jobs. However, if you really want to do the best job you can while you are doing your DIY, you will need to have plenty of tools and equipment. It will definitely benefit you if you pay for quality equipment. Here is what you need in your tool box.

Screwdriver Set

Screwdrivers have multiple uses. You can use them to install shelving onto your walls, or you can use a to simply pry the lid off a tin of paint. If you are a keen DIYer, you will certainly need a screwdriver to help you with your jobs! Rather than buying a single screwdriver, buy a kit that includes ones of various sizes. That way, you know you will always have the right sized tool for the job.

Tape Measure

When you are doing your DIY jobs, you will soon realize that there is no room for guess work. And that means you will have to spend a lot of time measuring everything you are working with, to make sure that you do a good job! So you will, of course, need a handy tape measure. You can use this to figure out how much space you have to play with, and how thick all your wood needs to be. You won’t go wrong if you religiously measure everything with your trusty tape measure!

Saws

You will also need to have a number of different saws to use for all your different DIY ventures. A hand saw comes in useful if you ever need to shorten any pieces of wood. If you are getting creative and making your very own furniture, you should invest in a table saw. These are heavy duty saws that are useful for shaping panels of wood. Not sure which one to buy? You can see a great table saw reviews here.

Hammer

A smooth-faced hammer should be enough for your needs at home. Be sure to buy one that is heavy enough to hammer strong nails into hard walls. It is also important to get a hammer that has a curved claw as well. This is useful for pulling out nails and screws. If you are new to DIY, you may end up accidentally bending quite a few nails. This is where the curved claw comes into its own!

Spirit Level

Do your pictures always look slightly crooked when you hang them on your wall? There is one easy solution to this. Buy a spirit level so that you can tell how straight your picture frames are when you are hanging them up. Simply lay the level on top of the frame and adjust it until the tool tells you it is completely straight.

Once your tool box is filled with all this equipment, you’ll be ready to start all your DIY projects!
