When it comes to tools I like to buy quality.
I don't mean buy the most expensive tools you can find, just good quality
tools not the stuff you find in a dollar store.
Good tools make all the difference. You
won't be a very effective handyman or handywoman if your screw drivers
ruin the screw heads and the hammer head bends when you try to pull out a
nail. We recommend that you tell your local retailer that you want good
sturdy tools but you don't need industrial quality and then look at what
he or she recommends.
Here is a barebones list of tools that we
believe you need to maintain the average household:
