Must-Have Tools in Basic Home Renovation

Whether it’s for your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, it is an exciting day to finally bring to life your home. However, it can also be a daunting challenge ahead, especially without the right plan and, of course, the right tools that would get the job done.

So, here are AllHome’s recommended tools that can help you realize the full potential of your dream home.

 

Measuring Tape

It is essential to note the proper size and shape of every corner and edge of your home before you start wrecking and rebuilding. That is why measuring tapes will always come in handy, but they can come in different lengths, too.

The standard tape can measure about three (3) meters of material. However, fiberglass types used for larger construction projects can measure up to 100 meters.

 

Hammer

No home construction is complete without the quintessential tool, the hammer. But, not all hammers are the same, and it’s best to be knowledgeable of each specific type made for their respective purposes.

For instance, the classic claw hammer works best for mostly carpentry-related work, whereas ball-peen hammers are more suited for metalwork.

 

Ladder

Sometimes, you have to repair ceilings or rewire light fixtures that may be out of reach for most people, so it would be wise to bring in a ladder when the need arises. Just how tall of a ladder you need is the question. 

You can choose from different ladder types, but home builders would most preferably use the multi-purpose ladder for easy portability, extendable heights, and carrying capacity.

 

Pliers

Renovations aren’t solely for aesthetics. Technicalities are involved, too, especially when the electrical wiring of an entire room needs an overhaul. In such situations, pliers will always come in handy, given their proper usage and the user’s familiarity with their varying types. 

While you can choose from a handful, you will most likely utilize the diagonal or the long-nose pliers. The former is optimal for cutting thick wires and even nails, while the latter is more suitable for bending and shaping.

But, if you opt for a more versatile type, the linesman pliers are the more preferred option.

Cordless Drill

Sticking or hanging new furnishings on a solid, concrete wall can pose a challenge that a simple nail-and-hammer solution wouldn’t suffice. Hence, possessing a cordless drill is a must for situations like these. However, as the cordless drill is a powerful tool, users must treat it with care and safety in mind. 

One crucial part of this tool to be aware of is its set of drill bits. Familiarizing yourself with the types of bits, such as twist drills and counterbore drills, helps you learn what is most applicable to the screw and nail you’re planning to insert into the wall.

 

Circular Saw

Wooden planks may not be the only material you will be cutting. Floor and wall tiles may need some size and shape customizations, too, and for this handiwork, you will need a strong and durable circular saw. But, not many people may not have experience in utilizing this tool, so it is best to seek assistance from a professional to guarantee safety and efficiency.

 

Paint

“Out with the old, and in with the new,” as the saying goes. Nothing embodies this statement more than a fresh coat of paint. Before you bring out those buckets, though, you must factor in the features of your room or your home when selecting the right kind of paint, which can range from surface type to even weather conditions.

Regardless of what brand you prefer, doing a bit of research into their products can assist you in deciding the paint that combines both visual appeal and purpose. 

 

Home Vacuum

After exhausting hours of hammering, sawing, drilling, and demolishing, all that will be left behind is a home that needs cleaning from the dust and clutter your renovation works have collected. Enter the right opportunity for your home vacuum cleaner to make your house spick and span again. 

 

And, there you have it! These are some of the tools you need to transform your home the way you desire it. But, it is also important to remember that working on a renovation is never a one-person job. It’s a team that can transform a vision into a reality.
