A Checklist To Basic Home Repair Toolkit

Owning a house comes with plenty of repair needs too! After some time, your home will need repairs, especially for roofing, plumbing, and electrical. If you only need some simple repairs, don’t call for a specialist yet and try to do it yourself. 

To accomplish simple house repairs, it’s important to have the right tools! From pliers to hammers, here’s a short checklist to have your own basic home repair toolkit.

This isn’t a complete and one-size-fits-all list. Some larger and newer houses may need more because the installed systems are more complex.

• Hammers and wrenches

• Different sizes of nails

• A set of screwdrivers (both flathead and Phillips)

• Different sizes of screws

• Tape measure

• Hand saw

• Rulers and levels

• A set of pliers (Long nose, cutting, wire stripper, etc)

• Small ladder

What are simple repairs that you can do yourself?

With these tools at your home, there are plenty of easy repairs you can do! From tightening loose screws to changing light bulbs, here are simple house repairs that you can do yourself.

Squeaking doors

While this may not be a big nuisance, a squeaking door can get to your nerves. If they’re a bit loose, use the appropriate screw-head to tighten them. If they start to build up rust, change the screws one by one so you don’t have to loosen the door at once.

Loose knobs

Cabinets, cupboards, dressers, or any kind of knobs can loosen from constant opening and closing. Before they loosen completely, tighten the bolts. Simply use the appropriate screwdriver to make sure knobs are bolted properly.

Changing light bulbs

Changing busted light bulbs is easy. However, it can be if you stand on an unsteady base. Use a small ladder and make sure you lay it out properly. While you can change the bulb even if the switch is on, it’s advisable to turn it off — just to be sure!
