The routine at home requires always being on the lookout for minor repairs. A hinge that comes loose, a drawer that sticks or a wall that needs a new painting job are some of the most common examples. For those who like to do their own maintenance, an important point is to have the right tools. Apart the most basic handheld items, such as the good old hammer, versatile pliers and screwdrivers in different sizes, some electric tools also help make the job less complicated.

For starters, a good drill makes all the difference, offering precision for repairs. It is also indispensable for decorating or furnishing the home. Whether for hanging shelves, pictures and mirrors, or putting together new furniture, the last thing we want is to damage the surface of the item or the wall. On the other hand, TV stands or chandeliers need to be securely fixed, also for safety reasons. Thus, choosing a quality drill that is easy to handle is essential. To meet every need, it is also worthwhile to invest in a set of bits with different sizes.

When it comes to tightening or loosening screws, a screwdriver/drill makes the job much faster and more practical. Even for those without much experience, this is a tool that is simple to use without requiring unnecessary force.

It is also often necessary to cut different materials, such as pieces of wood and MDF.
At these times, it is useful to have a scroll saw, capable of performing straight or curved cuts as needed. As this is a tool that poses more risks when handling, it is important to check the safety options available and to follow the usage instructions carefully.

Finally, to keep everything in order and easy to find when the time comes, the classic toolbox is a must-have. The options with removable tray and plastic or metal locks make it easy to transport tools whenever needed. There are also organizer cases with internal dividers that help keep smaller items within reach.

You don’t need to be an expert to perform repairs at home. With the right items, household maintenance will become effortless and no longer cause headaches.
