5 tools you MUST have at home


There are some tools that you must have at home, since, if something breaks or we need to adjust something, we will need said tools at hand. Whether you are a man or a woman, it is always necessary to have these tools at home, so you can use them in case of emergencies or necessity.

The first tool you must have at home is a hammer. Hammers are essential and basic, since we use them for many things, like when we need to hang a picture. Likewise, hammers usually come with its back curved so we can take nails out (in case we have hammered in the wrong place.) Moreover, if you have a hammer, it is recommended that you also buy some nails (and screws to use with the screwdriver). It is recommended you buy just a few nails and screws, since there are many sizes and it is better to buy the exact size you need, when you need it…

A second tool you must have is a screwdriver, or better, screwdrivers. There are many types and sizes of screwdrivers, so it is recommended you buy a set of screwdrivers or those who come with a support and you can change the tops of the screwdrivers.

Another tool you must have at home is a spanner. Just like the screwdrivers, the spanners come in different sizes, so you should also buy a set of them, or, if not, you may get an adjustable one (like the original) which, like the name says, it adapts.

The fourth tool you must have at home is the stripper and all its derivatives. There are many types of strippers that are used for different things, like cutting, adjusting, holding, etc. You may also choose to buy a whole kit or just a couple you may think will come in handy.

Last, a tool you cannot fail to have at home is the tape measure. This tool is used all the time and it is really handy; you will probably need it more than you think.

These are 5 tools you must have at home for sure. Then you may also need some glue and insulating tape, which may get you out of trouble (at least temporarily).
