Must Have Tools for Your Garage

If you’re a handyman or handywoman, it’s important that you have a good stock of tools in your garage. Running out of something, or not having what you need when you need it most can be one of the most annoying things in the world. Be sure to stay stocked up on bits and pieces, and that you have the latest tools ready for use in your garage.

Basics

You can never have enough of the basics, as you never know when you’re going to need them. Random little bits and pieces like screws, nails and bits of wire can come in handy more often than you would believe. Whenever something breaks you’re going to head straight for your collection of bits and pieces, so try and keep it stocked as much as you can.

Electric Saw

This is one of the most important things you can have. If you’re into DIY, a lot of the work you’re going to be doing is going to involve cutting things up. You can do things the old-fashioned way with a handheld saw, but that takes up a lot of time and can be strenuous on your body as well. An electric saw makes the process so much quicker and easier. You can cut through things that could take hours, or be near to impossible with a regular saw.

Electric Screwdrivers

Similarly, it’s important that you have a good range of electric screwdrivers. If you’re building something, or putting together some furniture, there are going to be a lot of screws that need to be put in place. Doing this by hand could take hours – days even. But if you have an electric screwdriver, preferably one with different attachments, you can have it done in no time. And the faster it’s done, the sooner you can move on to the next step.

Sander

Another important tool for any DIY project is an electric sander. All that cutting with your electric saw is going to mean that the wood needs to be sanded down before it can be painted or polished. An electric sander is by far the way to go, otherwise, with sanding paper, you could be sitting there for hours – not to mention the effect it could have on your skin. Make sure that you’ve got one of these if you plan on building anything with wood.

When keeping your garage full of the right tools and equipment, one of the most important things to check is that your tools are still in date. Once, regular saws and screwdrivers would have been the norm. But now, we can purchase electrical variations of these products, meaning that our projects take only a portion of the time that they did beforehand.
