Domain Tools

I’ve just bought my first home (YAY!)
but we kinda lack a toolbox…
We have hardwood & tile floors & tile countertops, in case that makes any difference!
(we have various kinds screwdrivers, a hammer, a level, a utlity knife, a tape measure)

i was thinking we NEED to get a screw gun / drill…
what other tools should we get for it?
o0h! i think i’ll need a dremel as well, one of the tiles on the counter is badly cracked


Buy a good quality 3/8 cordless drill. ($100) If you have a hammer, plier, side cutter, slip joint plier, tape measure, screwdrivers, etc, you might want to add a few power tools. a decent jig saw will likely get used more than a circular saw unless you get into heavy construction.

I would then be looking for a small aircompressor (2 hp) and a couple of nail guns. One for small trim nails, and one for larger nails. With that, you can do a lot of things.

Another great item is a box of nitrile gloves. (100 per box at less than $10) You will keep your hands clean of stains, glues, and dirt.

   Drill (bits) a small hand saw wouldn’t hurt, hammer, nails (various sizes) You’ll start to see what you need as time goes by…

   I bought our first home four years ago and, all I can tell you is…

   You have a good start. Now…SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE THINGS YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED IT!

   Your house will show you what it wants you to do soon enough, just hang tight.

   You bought it… you OWN it.
