Helpful Tools Every Builder Needs

A genuine handyman can handle almost any household repair emergency. Do I need to fix the pipes? No problem. Is it possible to install a ceiling light? Certainly. Is it possible to construct a concrete patio? We’ll just grab our cement mixer and be right over.

We all need some sort of tool around our homes that we can call upon to complete a project, whether big or small. It’s not always practical to carry every tool around with you everywhere you go, but there are several tools that you will likely want to be able to reach for at a moment’s notice when it comes time to use them. 

Here, we’re going to show you some of the handiest tools every handyman and homeowner should have. Whether you’re fixing a leaking faucet, replacing a light bulb, or hanging a picture, having the right tools at hand can help you get the job done right the first time, every time.

Let’s have a look at tools that can improve any handyman’s performance.

Tile Cutter

Tile work is a popular request for any handyman who’s been at it for a while. As a result, unless you’re willing to turn down many jobs—and it’s doubtful that you are—you’ll certainly need the appropriate tile tools. The most essential tool is the right tile cutter. A handyman who can lay tile may never have to worry about unemployment again.

Digital Level

Most handymen are likely already at a high enough level. A digital level, on the other hand, is something that is less often seen in the toolkit of a handyman. That is a shame, since a digital level allows you to work more efficiently and, more significantly, enables fine-toothed accuracy. And a handyman that performs with precision gets plenty of work, which is what it’s all about.

Cordless Drill

Every handyman needs a powerful electric drill with long battery life. Now that you probably have a power drill, but if it’s old or lacking in oomph, upgrading is definitely worth it. A good, heavy-duty cordless drill is a must-have for every handyman.

Bar and C-Clamps

Having a good set of clamps on hand may save you a lot of time and prevent you from looking ridiculous. After all, you don’t want to stand there with a couple of wood pieces together while waiting for the glue to dry. Clamps are not only for woodworking. They’re extremely versatile and frequently neglected.

Cut-Off Saw

A handyman with a suitable cut-off saw can easily chop through metal, concrete, and other materials. This is a high-quality, heavy-duty tool with the adaptability to give you an advantage over your competition; you’ll be ready for the day-to-day chores, but you’ll also have the ability to cut through tough materials that many handymen won’t have access to.

Stud Finder

Certainly, a stud finder is required for every handyman. You’ll use your stud finder most often on walls, but it’s not unheard of for a project to require one that works on ceilings and floors as well. Keep in mind that some stud finders are only effective for finding studs and joists behind walls, so pick the one with the right specifications.

Multi-Position Ladder

A decent multi-position ladder demonstrates several of the essential qualities that a competent handyman should have: It’s adaptable and ready to go. The multiposition ladder that’s ideal for you depends on your needs and the jobs you want to do. It’s also there for when you need to scale up for higher-elevation tasks.

Wet-Dry Vacuum

If you create excellent work but leave a mess on the job site, your chances of being rehired or receiving a positive word-of-mouth testimonial from your customer will be significantly reduced. Many handymen overlook cleaning, but it’s something they should consider. As a result, you’ll want to keep a decent wet/dry vacuum on hand. Of course, a wet/dry vacuum isn’t only for end-of-day cleaning. You may sometimes need to remove dust, dirt, and water as you go.
