If you decide to do repairs yourself, which can lead to savings over time, make sure you're doing it with the right tools. We break down the different types of basic tools that you can use to complete each home maintenance and repair project. We’ve created this list of must-have tools as a starting point.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent sem erat, sagittis nec leo eget, viverra suscipit tellus. Etiam blandit, diam sit amet sodales dictum, augue magna venenatis augue, eget laoreet neque leo in sem. Proin non turpis vitae lorem euismod hendrerit. Pellentesque euismod a odio et molestie. Phasellus id justo est. In faucibus tincidunt semper. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Proin eleifend eu neque non accumsan. Duis vel cursus massa, eget dictum arcu. Pellentesque gravida bibendum nunc nec vulputate. Nam vulputate tempor vestibulum. Nulla a fringilla ex, sit amet fringilla ipsum.

However, before you head to the store, look through your garage or junk drawer (or maybe your moving boxes) and cross off any items you already have. With your list in hand of the tools you still need to fill your first toolbox, you’ll be better able to keep to your budget. And you might more easily resist the tempting thought that will inevitably pop into your head: “I’m sure I will need that 100-piece titanium drill bit set someday…”

We’ve created this list of must-have tools as a starting point. Without it, your first trip to your local hardware store could be a dangerous one for your budget. Like everytime our crew goes to get materials, all of those gleaming new tools are begging you to take them home!

And to help you, you can click on the pictures or the links in each section to purchase these items (from Home Depot and others) to make the process easier and to save you money!
