What may be the most understated part of your home, the garage serves as more than a place to park your cars. It is the space to repair and maintain almost anything such as your bicycle and your appliances. Hence, it comes as no surprise when your garage acts as your storage area for your basic tools, and, with new appliances and technologies changing and coming into your home, your tools should also keep up with the changing times.
In today’s article, we will list down some of the items you must have for your garage that will help hone your handyman skills!
LOTUS X-Connect Canti Toolbox
Every tool that every household needs comes together in your quintessential toolbox, and at AllHome’s Builder’s Center, our many in-house brands provide you with a complete collection all in one item.
One of which we have discussed previously is the TOUGH NOT 28-piece Toolbox Set, courtesy of our in-house host Nixon in our exclusive product feature here! However, we also have more options to choose from, such as this LOTUS X-Connect Canti Toolbox, made with a double-stacking feature that will let users carry as many tools as they can!
Whether we need to assemble an item, fasten a loose screw, or loosen a faulty bolt, wrenches and screwdrivers would always come in handy for such situations. But, besides the classic open-end and Philips types, there are other forms that you may need to possess in your garage.
One of which is the Allan wrench, which you may have encountered or used when you are assembling a new study table or cabinet, to name a few examples. In recent years, ready-to-assemble furniture, or RTA for short, has been rising in popularity, and, for some, it is much preferred than having a whole piece of furniture delivered in one, whole piece.
Normally, Allen wrenches are included in the packaging, but having one before purchase and delivery is wise.
They may be small and common, but never underestimate the importance of nails and screws, capable of attaching and fastening joints, such as hardboards, walls, roof shingles, and so on.
While they do share similarities in purpose, their key difference likes in situational uses. Nails are ideally used in large construction projects whereas screws are used in small-scale tasks. Nails work best in exterior works (i.e. roofing, wall frames, etc.) while screws are applied better in interior jobs.
Whichever the case, it’s also essential to know the respective tools for the job. For nails, the classic claw hammer should do the trick, but nail guns are also an excellent power tool to insert nails into hard surfaces!
For screws, however, you may need a more efficient tool than the simple Philips screwdriver: a power drill. While it may help drill holes, some models also have custom screw tips to insert screws swiftly and tightly!
Not only do you keep your handyman tools in your garage. You may also use the space to store your gardening tools!
For most homes in villages and subdivisions, gardens are a pleasant sight to behold for any homeowner or visitor who comes to your address. The greenery of the grass and the colorful flowers beautify a home just as well as, if not better than, giving the walls a fresh coat of paint.
Hence, maintaining that pristine and healthy look for your little piece of nature is essential. You will need your garden shears to cut off weeds and trim overgrown grass, trowels to easily transfer and place new plants, rakes to sweep off dried and fallen leaves, and a garden hose to conveniently hydrate your garden, among many gardening apparatuses.
Of course, with the plethora of tools you will be keeping in your garage, having lots of storage space will be of utmost importance, but it’s not only the size you need to consider. It is in the type and the arrangement, too.
As you have seen in this article, we have listed down various tools and discussed their specific purposes briefly, and as such, your storage for your tools should also pattern those functions.
To demonstrate, first, visualize your garage space and the tools you possess. Where will you be placing your handyman tools? How about your gardening tools? What about your miscellaneous items?
Once you have taken inventory of what you will be keeping, it’s time to identify the types of storage you’ll need, which you can find abundantly at AllHome.
For instance, the MEGABOX brand offers storage boxes of varying sizes, ranging from 5L to 15L, catering to your specific storage needs. Additionally, you can stack them up with our storage shelves and organizer bins courtesy of EZ!
Remember that you aren’t just merely living in a home. You are also the caretaker of your own living space. Your home is an extension of your being, and how you care for and use it matters much. Where you use your kitchen to cook up scrumptious meals for your and your family, you utilize your garage to fix and create your home’s items.
It all starts with how you arrange it.
With the proper arrangement for your garage, you can make your repair and assembling work a breeze!
