No man should be without these tools. By having these basic yet necessary tools readily available, you just made the hobby of home improvement more enjoyable. Read why.

Cordless Drill - $129.99

The cordless drill is the number one tool used. Its greatest quality is that you don't need an extension cord because it is battery-operated. You can easily bring it anywhere with you. This drill can be connected to a number of attachments - drill bits, screw drivers, and nut drivers. You can also use it to buff, grind, sand, and polish. For homeowner use, the voltages on the drill range from 9.6 to 24 volts. The higher the voltage, the more power you have. Depending on the quality of the model, quick chargers can charge your battery in minutes while others can take hours.

Hammer - $17.69

Any form of carpentry involves a hammer. It is the second most used tool. There are countless uses of a hammer from removing or pounding something into place.

Tape Measurer - $6.99

Every single project you do on a house involves some sort of measurement. By using the tape measurer, you can determine accurately how big an area is or verify its size. By understanding what the different lines mean, you now speak the same language that the hardware industry speaks.

Stud Sensor - $21.99

The stud sensor is used to determine where studs are inside a drywall. It's always best to screw through the drywall and into the stud. The stud sensor is easy to use. All you do is hit the button, run it across the wall, and a light will come on if there is a stud behind the drywall. When you find the stud, mark it - that is where you put your screws.

A common mistake is putting up towel bars on drywall. No one picks up the towel nicely and gently off a towel bar. After one strong pull, both your towel and towel bar come off together from the drywall.

Adjustable Pliers -$10.29

Adjustable pliers, that are also called groove lock or channel lock pliers, are the most versatile of all the pliers. They are always used in plumbing projects such as changing any piping under your sink or changing out your faucet.

Adjustable Wrench - $ 9.29

The adjustable wrench is commonly known as a crescent wrench. Its main function is to remove hex (6-sided) bolts off. If you don't use the right tool to take off your hex nuts, you will round out your nuts and make them more difficult to come off.

Multimeter Digital - $19.99

The multimeter digital checks to see if you correctly wired an appliance or fixture. This comes in handy when you are installing light fixtures, ceiling fans, replacing light wall switches, or electrical receptacles. This will save you from getting shocked and will save you frustration.

Utility Knife - $6.29

The utility knife is great for drywall work, light carpentry, reinstalling carpet or linoleum, or anything you need to cut.

Screwdriver - $12.99

Own a screwdriver that has a number of different tips that can be replaced on the fly. It should include nut drivers, slotted screw drivers, and other different bits that can be changed on site and carried with you at all times. It also has a ratcheting action to give you more hand strength.

Level - $26.79

There are different types of levels. They come as small as a torpedo level sized 6-8 inches and as big as 6 feet tall. To ensure things that are straight and even, a level is always used. You can use it in when replacing cabinets and installing shelving. There is no guarantee that the ground is level; therefore you can't rely on measuring from the ground to the position where you want to mount something.
