Tools Every Handyman Needs for Their Home Toolbox

Dads often end up being the handyman of the household. Whether you need to replace your floorboards or build the most extraordinary headboard for your son, these tools will come in handy for anything. Allow us to go over the tools every handyman needs for their home toolbox.

Tape Measure

No matter the project, a tape measure will be necessary. Starting a task typically requires that you find out the dimensions of an object. For instance, you might measure a room for future furniture pieces. Regardless of the job, a tape measure is necessary.

Different Screwdrivers

There are many different types of screwdrivers out there. Flat-heads, Phillips, or hex screwdrivers are common ones that you’ll likely use for projects. When you have multiple screwdrivers, you ensure you have the best fit for whatever screw or nut you must work with.

Stud Finder

Dads are constantly working on a project. A stud finder takes the guesswork out of hanging picture frames or large art pieces on the wall. This device safeguards the placement of nails and other hardware in your drywall.

Power Tools

Power tools make any activity or project a breeze. There are multiple power tools on the market. Know which one you need before going to your local hardware store.

A lot of tools have either non-sparking or anti-static properties. You should use non-sparking or anti-static tools to avoid disaster in certain types of work. For example, they’re useful when working on a car or other more significant projects.

Table Saw

Table saws can cut wood in three ways: cross cut, ripping cut, and dado cut. These saws are versatile and will do the job for just about any project.

Shop Vacuum

Clean up messes more easily with shop vacs. You no longer need to get on your hands and knees to pick up scraps. These ultra-powered vacuums suck up sawdust, metal shavings, and more.

Adjustable Wrenches

Having an adjustable wrench handy is always great for home improvement. These wrenches can adjust to any nut or bolt size. So you don’t need to stress about finding the correct wrench.

Wire Stripper Pliers

This tool every handyman needs in their home toolbox is a must for all the electrical dads out there. These wire strippers rid the electrical wires of their insulation. This is in preparation for splicing loose wires together or plugging the wire into a terminal.

You might not know what kind of tool you’ll need until you have the project planned out. These essential tool must-haves will help in your first couple of projects, but the handier you get, the more tools you’ll need! Handyman dads can fix anything with these tools in their belt!
