Essential DIY Tools

We have been doing a lot of work in our house since we bought it in October. Luckily we’ve had years and years of acquiring tools for projects so today I wanted to share what we use.

Do you need to have all these items before you start a project? Definitely not! But you will realize you need specific tools once you start a project and things just tend to accumulate over years and houses. This is why we need a garage or work area each place we live 🙂

Nail Gunnot essential BUT we have used it a ton for the woodwork we have done around the house. We have this model and it’s larger than others but is more powerful.

Hammer

Circular Saw

Tape Measure – 25 foot, 16 foot

Safety Glasseswear these ALWAYS!!! My husband has seen many many people who injured themselves not wearing glasses when working.

Level – big, small

Impact Drivera more powerful drill that is great for drilling into concrete or when a normal drill won’t cut it. Makes a great housewarming gift because these aren’t as common to have already!

Shop Vacclean up all that dust from whatever project without getting your normal vacuum all disgusting!

Drill Bit Setmakes assembling that IKEA furniture much easier!

Laser Levelessential for hanging pictures or drapes. This is the exact model we have and it has worked out great. The horizontal AND vertical lines are key.

Screwdriver Set

Work Pencil

Ladder

Work Gloves

Miter Sawthis is essential for any wood project. It was key for putting up picture frame molding in our guest bedroom.
