Question: Tools to put in a new home owners tool box?

( Back )

Answer #1:

It's good to have a socket set as well. We use ours all the time. Also, putty and touch up paint, for dings and dents in your walls. GL

Answer #2:

its enough and don't but more tools actually i think mind and wisdom is the best tool and you can use even a stick as weapon or tool if you have mind
m i right?

then you should give me favorite answer

Answer #3:

I would add:

- An LED outlet tester - even outlets in brand new homes occasionally get mis-wired.
- Sheetmetal shears
- Utility knife
- Adjustable crescent wrench
- Pipe wrench
- Locking plies (aka "Vise-grip")
- Set of nut drivers (English & Metric if you can afford them)
- Set of 3/8" socket wrenches (also English & Metric " " )
- Clamp light or two
- Extension cord
- Thick gloves

That's all that comes to mind off the top. Good luck!

Oh yeah, also make sure you have a first-aid kit with bandage strips, gauze, surgical tape - cuz anybody who does anything around a house is almost guaranteed to need first aid sooner or later.

This is a good question- we're going to ask the experts for you on this one by tweeting it to our colleagues @craftsmanclub.

Answer #5:

The real question is what you want to do. You are missing a few things that I couldn't live without.

-Cordless drill
-Drill bits
-Bit tip holder
-Bit tips
-Utility knife, fixed blade
-Carpenter's pencil
-Sharpie
-Squares (one small, one @24")
-Nut driver set
-3/8" socket set with extensions
-Torpedo level
-Chalk line with hang on bubble level
-Multimeter
-Wire strippers
-Aviation snips
-Bigger hammer (12" is only good for very small finish nails)
-Prybars (both a standard heavy duty and a low profile light bar for trim)
-Putty knives (1"SS, 3"SS, 6"SS with hammer handle, 10" blue steel, 12" blue steel)
-Mud Pan
-Drywall T-square
-Paint brushes
-Paint roller frame
-Roller covers
-Roller pan

These are the bare necessities to get things started. It seems like a lot of stuff, but it really isn't. I've left off a lot of specialized stuff that you will have to buy as you go along (like tub wrenches, seat wrenches, stud finders, crimping tools, threading equipment, and on and on and on).

Answer #6:

Those tools I do not go around the block without:

Channel-Lock (by brand, Meadville, PA):

Pump Pliers - Either two (one large, one small) or one (Medium)
Medium Pump-Pliers - smooth-jaw - will be almost as useful as an adjustable wrench if you are on a budget.
Large and small adjustable wrench if you can afford them.
Side-Cutting Linesman Pliers
Diagonal Cutters
Actually, were it me, I would "re-gift" your Stanley pliers to someone less discerning and purchase all my tools from Channel Lock, Klein or similar.

Ridge Tool (Rigid)

Pipe Wrench
Spud Wrench - you won't think that you need one of these until you do. And if you do the Spud wrench and the two adjustable pliers, you need no smooth-jaw pump pliers.

Craftsman (US-made) 1/4" Drive socket set - metric & SAE -this will take the place of all sorts of nut-drivers as well as reach into small places and down recesses.

Metric & SAE Allen Wrench set (Get them from Allen)

Hammers either from Klein, Greenlee or Vaughn. Hammers are one of the least respected tools in the toolbox - most individuals figure that a hammer is a hammer is a hammer - until they actually use a really, really good one. At which point they will never go back.

A rubber mallet.

A Craftsman multi-screwdriver. The one linked below is excellent for most basic purposes. If you need more than it has, you need single-point units - see below:

High-quality #2 Philips screwdriver
High-quality straight-blade small screwdriver
High-quality straight-blade standard screwdriver

You are absolutely right to get _only_ good tools. Bad tools are dangerous - just like dull knives.

Answer #7:

channel lock pliers 8' or 10"

Klien side cutting pliers... the can cut through almost anything.

Klien hand tools are a trade secret as the best hand tools around

and a general crescent wrench (adjustable wrench)... channel locks will work too but mar up the nut/bolt.

a hack saw... to cut off a friend's handcuffs that escaped from jail

a nice shovel an ax are always handy, unless you live in an apartment

the rest will come as you do projects and need them
