Whether you live in a house or apartment, you need
your own set of tools for basic repair jobs. If you
don´t already have your own set of tools, consider
gearing up with these essential starters:
Safety glasses/goggles
3 Sizes of standard (slotted) screwdrivers (used
on screws with the " — " on the head)
3 Sizes of Phillips® screwdrivers (used on screws
with the " + " on the head)
Awl - Hammer - Adjustable Wrench - Needle-nose pliers pliers - Level (Don´t try and "eyeball" it!)
Utility - knife Retractable steel ruler
Toilet plunger
Recommended as the first power tool: cordless power
drill/driver.

And to spice it up, buy yourself a tool box, or put
it on your Christmas list! The next step, of course,
is to learn to use the tools...but that´s a whole ´nother
tip.
