Aarian Marshall. Jaina Grey. Brenda Stolyar. Scott Gilbertson. If you want to attach anything heavy to a wall, you should always mount it to the vertical structural pieces of wood studs behind the wall.

This means you need to find them without being able to see them. A stud finder, held and rubbed against a wall, will light up when it passes over a stud so you know where to drill.

Builders sometimes run wires along with these studs, and to keep people from drilling into a wire and getting fried like Daffy Duck, they place metal guards over them.

Any decent stud finder, like this Zircon, will warn you if it detects one. Stud detected. The batteries work with more than other DeWalt power tools too. For all but the smallest of jobs, it'll go easier if you drill out a hole before driving screws and bolts into a wall.

The black oxide coating on these drill bits reduces friction, which speeds up drilling and resists rust. These are good for general use and will handle wood, metal, plastics, wallboard, and fiberglass.

Home tool kits can get unwieldy with too many gadgets in them, which is why I recommend an adjustable wrench as a stand-in for an entire wrench set. Six inches is a good size to give you enough torque for big jobs without being too unwieldy to handle the small stuff. You adjust the width of the jaws by spinning the knurl.

I've replaced the Crescent brand wrench with this one for Channellock because, while the latter costs more, its quality means it can be a buy-it-for-life item. You don't need a metal toolbox at home.

Your toolbox is going to live an easy life on a closet shelf, not banging around a construction site. Fabric makes it lighter, and the open top means it's easy to pop in and grab something for a quick job.

Harbor Freight is hit or miss on some products, but this tote is the best I've come across. The quality of the fabric and construction makes this a great deal, and I like it better than the bigger brand-name totes.

It has 22 pockets on the inside and outside, perfect for tools you want to keep easily accessible. You can fit the bulkier stuff, like a power drill and hammer, in the wide main compartment.

Depending on where you live, the Harbor Freight tote may only be available for store pickup. It has fewer pockets—12 compared to the Harbor Freight's 22—but it's made of a tough denier fabric and has a sturdy, padded metal handle.

A lot of furniture needs a few whacks during assembly, but if you hit it too hard with a regular hammer, you can damage it. Some jobs require a rubber mallet to snug pieces together without chipping off bits of plastic or wood.

While 16 ounces is pretty light for a mallet, it should be heavy enough to bang furniture and shelving units together without being cumbersome for most people.

This hammer has all the features needed for general, around-the-home use, including a smooth head. It's at the top end of that to ounce range, making it perfect for handling most jobs, and it's got a curved claw to pull out nails, which you want.

A straight rip claw is more versatile but unnecessary for most people. There are many types of clamps, but the bar clamp is arguably the most versatile. It can give you an extra hand when you need to keep two parts on a project together and free you up to secure it or consult the instructions.

These plastic models won't do the trick for big jobs with heavy objects, but they'll suffice for the majority of simple home repairs. These Irwins can grasp objects and surfaces up to 6 inches thick and produce a clamping force of pounds, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah, you can use the cheap ones that furniture makers include when you buy something that uses Allen bolts excuse me, hex bolts.

But as with screwdrivers, you'll feel the difference with a good set of hex keys. I've bent cheap hex keys while torquing something down and then brought out the Bondhus to finish the job with no problems.

The keys in this set, in metric and standard measurements, have a rust-resistant finish and fit snugly in any hex bolt you'll come across. And believe me, apartment dweller or homeowner, there are many hex bolts in your future.

A good level is an absolute necessity for work around the home. This one is accurate to plus or minus 0. It's made of aluminum for toughness, and the ends are capped in plastic so you don't end up scraping the hell out of your walls when you're using it.

Get a inch level. It's one of the typical sizes, and longer levels are more accurate than the short ones. It's easy to spot the difference in quality when using screwdrivers. I've started plenty of jobs with a junk one, only to have it pop out of the screw's head or start to strip a stubborn screw.

A good screwdriver can save you aggravation, and Channellock's 6-in-1 is real quality. This combination screwdriver will cover you for regular home repairs and maintenance, and it takes up a lot less space than a set of full-size screwdrivers.

Every so often, to repair things such as eyeglasses and electronics, you're going to need a set of very small screwdrivers. For whatever reason, manufacturers tend to use soft, tiny screws that deform easily, so good precision screwdrivers are especially important.

None of the combination precision screwdrivers I've ever used has impressed me, so buy a full set. They won't take up much room since, you know, they're tiny. Use six of the seven you get in this kit. You can stick the Phillips 1 in a drawer somewhere if you get the Channellock above.

Furniture is a high-wear item. The longer you live with it, the more knicks, scrapes, and dents it's going to accumulate. Sometimes you don't even have to hit it with anything for the stain or wood veneer to wear off and expose a lighter shade of wood.

Make your furniture look new with these markers, which come in a variety of common wood stain colors. They dry quickly, and it takes just a few seconds to apply them. This one's a luxury, not an absolute necessity. A multi-tool is a jack of all trades and a master of none but it's often supremely handy to have a small tool in your pocket or on a shelf that you can grab for quick jobs.

The Wingman is one of my favorite affordable multi-tools. It has 14 tools built into it, and in contrast to a Swiss Army Knife, it has oft-needed needle-nose pliers.

Check out my guide to the best multi-tools for more recommendations. Levels are your go-to when you need to make something absolutely parallel or perpendicular to the ground, and tape measures are great for long measurements.

But a good yardstick should be in your tool kit too. It's handy when a tape measure won't sit quite flat enough against a wall to trace a line.

This one from Swanson has both US and metric markings. It won't fit in your tool tote, but it's thin enough to stick in the closet.

The aluminum is thick enough that you can hold it out with one hand for measurements without it flopping over.

It's easy to lose screws, nails, and bolts in the carpet when you need them, and then when you find them it's usually by accident with your feet … in the middle of the night. Hanson Magnetic Stud Finder. This little tool, hardly more than a plastic covering over two powerful magnets, finds the screws that are in the stud holding up the drywall.

Some projects, like putting up curtain rods or hanging closet shelving, simply need a drill. Smaller, volt models are lighter and easier to handle, and they have more than enough power for around-the-house work.

It can emit a red or white light, but the two-button interface lets you easily ignore the red one, unlike on a lot of other models. Better tools can do better work.

The cutting pliers will go through anything, and if you have kids who get toys packaged with those little plastic ties, these'll save your sanity. The slip joint and needle-nose pliers are catch-all tools to save the day. Dremel has become shorthand for any kind of ultra-portable, plug-in power tool.

Of the 30 attachments, there's a wide array of tool heads for grinding, cutting, and carving, and engraving wood, plastic, and metal. Most of those types of jobs around the house call for a Dremel and not anything larger. Some like the line of Rotozip tools, but I prefer the smaller, more nimble Dremel for most mild jobs.

I've used several Dremels, but my favorite bang for the buck is the It has variable speed, which came in handy when mounting new legs to my old couch, and also when cutting and grinding down an axle skewer on my ebike.

Some say it's underpowered, but you'll have no problem cutting through a typical bolt or screw you'd find in the home. I also appreciate the carrying case to keep everything organized, because keeping all the parts loose would be a nightmare.

Make sure you use safety glasses. Protect your eyes from wood dust flying from the electric drill and any caustic chemicals splashing around. Pick up a pair for everyone who may be working in the area at the same time. Caulking guns got fancy in the past decade or two.

Who saw that coming? The predominant type had ratchet designs that would ooze caulk everywhere when you stopped squeezing, and you had to hurriedly unscrew the rod to make it stop.

But this smooth-action gun lets you release the trigger, and caulk won't dribble. In the handle, there's a hole that cuts the tip off a new tube of caulk, as well as a puncture tool that unfolds from the barrel to break the seal.

The ratio and padded trigger make squeezing out caulk easier on the hand muscles. I've found it shrinks and therefore cracks less than DAP Alex Plus , although the later is an acceptable replacement if GE is unavailable.

The old-school way to smooth caulk is with the tip of your finger, but why cheap out and risk making your work look sloppy? Caulking is typically highly visible, so make sure it's smooth and even with this caulk tool.

It's the best I've ever used. The silicone head can be taken off, rotated, and put back on for three different widths, depending on the width of the caulking bead you're applying. And because it's silicone, sticky caulk comes right off with no trouble.

On the other end, there's a very effective metal scraper for removing old caulk. Certain jobs will jam up regular scissors—or break them. When I was cutting thick rug pads to place under area rugs, these Wiss shears were the only thing that could finish the job.

They come in handy when you don't have enough room for wire cutters, and they can snip off plastic shipping ties and even cut thin wood shingles. They're made by Crescent, a quality tool company that's been around for generations. Sometimes a yardstick is too big and unwieldy and you'll need to break out the footlong ruler instead.

There's no need to spend big on a ruler, but some of the cheap competitors have wavy edges that make them useless for drawing straight lines on walls. This Westcott has a perfectly straight edge and costs little more than a street taco.

The reviews are correct, though—don't try to remove the barcode sticker. It'll pull off the cork material on the back. No matter. The label doesn't get in the way of using it. You'll get a variety of bits in this kit of 15 1-inch bits and 11 2-inch bits.

Not just the usual Phillips and slotted, but hex and Torx bits too. For all you butterfingers out there, the screw lock sleeve is magnetic, so the bits are less likely to tumble out of your drill and disappear.

DeWalt counts the sleeve and the case as parts 29 and 30, in case you come up short on your mental math. For anything more substantial than a coat hook or picture frame, you should upgrade the hardware used to mount items to your walls.

Screwing brackets directly into wall studs is the most secure method, but due to positioning it may not be an option. Buildings built or renovated in the past 30 years may have metal studs, too, which also removes that option. E-Z Ancors have excellent holding power and can be used for a wide variety of jobs.

These plastic bolts mount into wallboard, and then a metal screw inserted into them splits the end deepest inside the wall, holding it into the wallboard like a fish hook. You just need a screwdriver to mount them. For the heaviest items, such as televisions, indoor bike racks, and shelves used to hold books, break out the big guns and use toggle bolts.

They're extremely strong, and I've used them in dozens of applications over the years. The downside is that you have to drill a half-inch hole in your wall, which is rather large.

But hey, that's what wall putty is for. Duck, Gorilla, and 3M are good brands. If you don't have a pair already, get yourself some household scissors.

Wood cracks as indoor humidity fluctuates with the weather. Left unaddressed, these cracks can widen and spread. Once it dries, you can touch up the filling with paint, wood stain, or a furniture marker.

Grime and grease have a way of defeating common hand soaps and can leave you looking like you just rode into town on the Exxon Valdez. Its grittiness helps scrub anything off your paws. You don't need to buy spackle until you've got a hole in the wall that needs filling, like when you're moving out or rearranging wall decor.

These all-purpose tips can simplify your DIY jobs and reduce headaches. An old trick is to put a square of masking tape or painter's tape on the wall before hammering a nail into it, as it'll keep the plaster from cracking.

Unlike other tapes, these likely won't take your paint off when you remove them. Whenever you remove screws or bolts to take something apart, put the screws or bolts back into the holes.

That way, when you need to reassemble it, you'll know exactly where they are without having to hunt down loose hardware that—face it—you'll never find.

Take lots of photos when you're disassembling anything. I learned this working on cars, but the principle is the same in the home. Use your phone to photograph each step, and put the pictures in a separate photo album so you can easily find them in the future.

When you need to reassemble whatever you just took apart, you'll see exactly where and how everything fits back together. If you're working on something symmetrical—say, replacing faucets on a two-sink counter or taking apart legs on a table—do one side at a time, rather than taking both apart or putting both together at the same time.

If you get stuck, you always have the other side as a point of reference. Gear Team. Julian Chokkattu. Parker Hall. Reece Rogers. Get started with a few DIY projects around the house.

Hardware An assortment of hardware — or nails and screws — in various types and sizes will come in handy often.

Vinyl sinkers are used in construction and carpentry projects, and help make it easier to hammer into wood. Galvanized nails are used for mainly outdoor projects, specifically roofing, because they are coated in zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. Drywall screws are used to secure drywall to metal studs and can be used to patch ceilings after knocking down a wall in your home.

Outdoor screws are typically made of stainless steel and are completely rust resistant, which make them great for building a new deck. Electrical tape, also known as insulating tape, is pressure-sensitive and can be used for insulating wires or other materials that conduct electricity.

To DIY, or Contract out? The metric and SAE hex keys are fine and come in sturdy holders. This isn't a first-timer's toolkit unless you're jumping straight into auto-care.

However, the expansive selection of tools will help you accomplish many household tasks. Adding a hammer would extend the range of this kit's home repair and project capabilities. The sockets, ratchets, and wrenches shine, but the rest of the kit is just okay.

The screwdrivers are comfortable in hand when dry, but their edgeless handles are difficult to hold when oily. The case is fairly good at holding tools but lacks durability. When ours arrived, there was a gouge in the bottom of the case, and one of the socket holders was slightly distorted and barely held the socket in place.

All things considered, this is an excellent option for those who want a starter kit for auto care or want to add a great set of sockets and wrenches to their tool bench.

If you're rough on your tools, consider a more durable case and set like the DeWalt Piece Mechanics Tools Kit and Socket Set. The DeWalt Piece Mechanics Tools Kit and Socket Set scores very high in our four metrics.

The tool quality and functionality were immediately apparent as soon as we assembled sockets to the ratchet. Easy-to-assemble and securely fastened are the themes of this kit. We effortlessly wrenched on ski bindings and worked on bicycles.

The carrying case is lightweight, easy to carry, and has two metal latches that snap solidly into place. And as a carpenter who has used DeWalt products for over 20 years, one of our testers can assure you that durability is second to none.

On the other hand, we can't recommend this high-quality toolset for general use only because it lacks diversity in its available tools. There are no hammers, pliers, or tape measures. However, if you either already own or don't mind acquiring those other tools separately, this might be the right toolset for you.

For those in need of a more versatile general use set, we recommend checking out the Amazon Basics Piece Hand Tool Kit. The Amazon Basics Piece Hand Tool Kit set offers a killer value and a solid selection of household tools. It comes outfitted with a small hammer, a saw, various pliers, a tape measurer, a small selection of nails and screws, and even a Torpedo level.

The small socket set is handy, the snap-off blade is adequate, and the level is convenient when hanging art. The screwdrivers and magnetic bit driver have comfortable handles with rounded edges that help maintain your grip.

The driver's 20 extra Torx, Phillips, flathead, hex, and squarehead bits expand the toolkit's capabilities. We always appreciate having SAE and metric hex keys around the house, especially if you own bikes.

The construction of the pliers leaves something to be desired, as their small, slick grips make them hard to hold and the joints are not tight enough. Unfortunately, the action on the slip joint pliers is the worst in the roundup.

As for the ratchet, the gears are too far apart, so it takes more time and repetition to tighten and loosen the bolts. We also think that the carrying case could be much more precise in its design to hold tools in place.

After opening and closing the case multiple times, one pair of pliers fell right out. Drawbacks aside, this tool set has impressive value and utility. We recommend Amazon Basics to anyone who needs a starter kit on a budget. For those who simply need quality pliers, the Channellock 5-Piece Pliers Set is the set to get.

The Channellock 5-Piece Pliers Set gives every indication of maintaining the quality we have come to expect from this brand. The large tongue and groove pliers, which a lot of us call channellocks , are the best of their kind in the test.

They also have the widest size range, making them a must for gripping pipes during plumbing projects. The slip joint pliers and diagonal cutters also top the list, with the latter cutting through plastic and wire quietly and efficiently without sending shrapnel across the room.

The needle nose pliers have the narrowest tip in the lineup, making them great for tight spots and precision work. All offer smooth action with little to no play. Long handles with a vinyl sheath provide ample leverage.

This plier set is superb, but that's about all you'll get — and you're paying for it. The extra money will buy tools that work better, make your life easier, and last longer. They may save you money over time. They will save you grief. You will have to round out the rest of your tool kit — hammer, screwdrivers, sockets, hexes, etc.

If you need pliers, look no further. It's hard to imagine these failing, as each tool is top-quality. This plier set is ideal for anyone looking to build a kit to last a lifetime. But if your projects require a multitude of various tools, the Crescent Piece Professional Tool Set offers more of what you need.

The Craftsman Piece Home Kit is a solid little tool set. If your projects aren't elaborate, this kit offers the best mix of basic tools. Its fiberglass and rubber-handled hammer is one of the better options in the test, as are its slip joint pliers.

They have an easy action and comfortable grip. The screwdrivers are pleasant to wield and work well. Instead of the magnetic bit driver that many other kits include, this one gives you a ratcheting screwdriver with a bit adapter so you can use it for bolts or slap on a Torx, Phillips, or flathead to tackle an array of screws.

We like it. The little socket set is a handy size. It's not top-of-the-line but it works well enough. The two hex key sets are standard, offering metric and SAE sizing.

The sockets are only okay. The Crescent set is of higher quality. The snap-off knife isn't the most comfortable cutting device to hold. It works, though, and snapping off a dull end to reveal a fresh edge is easy enough with the included pliers.

Just bend the blade end away from the scoring mark for a clean snap. The plastic carrying case is alright, though the sockets fall out easily. You have to remember to leave that side of the briefcase down. All told, this tool kit offers an impressive quality-to-value ratio and is a great starter tool set for less ambitious projects or those looking for quality on a budget.

If you plan on using sockets frequently, the ones included in the DeWalt Piece Mechanics Tools Kit and Socket Set are high-quality and the case holds the tools well, too. The Black and Decker 20V Max Piece kit is an easy favorite.

If you've tackled any home repair projects involving screws, you know how many hours a cordless electric drill can save, so it's great to see one in a pared-down tool set along with all the essentials. The drill comes with 10 bits, which drills pilot holes for a reasonable range of screw sizes.

We also appreciate the spade and hole saw bits. You may not need to cut a big hole through solid wood often, but if you do find yourself wanting to run some wires through the back of a desk or cut a finger pull in a cabinet, they are fantastic to have around.

The drill gives you 11 torque settings to amp up the power for those higher friction tasks. We also like the pliers, the needle nose, and the slip joint. Their handles are a little short but offer a pleasant grip and feel more solid than some. While the drill is fairly good, it's not powerful enough for heavy jobs.

The battery holds out for about 25 minutes of continuous use, which is enough time to blast through a couple hundred pilot holes or a few full-hole cuts. An extra battery is necessary for longer projects, meaning you'll need to make an additional purchase.

The included battery takes more than three and a half hours to charge. Additionally, the carrying case is just a bag with no organizational pockets, leaving your tools in a pile. Drill bits aren't very durable in those circumstances. The rest of the tools are on the fair side. Hammers with necks that narrow are easy to break, especially when prying out nails.

Although, the bit driver gives you smaller options. We aren't crazy about the grips or ergonomics of the pliers or snap-off blades, and the adjustable wrench wobbles.

Still, this is a decent kit to get you going if you want to speed through your chore list with a cordless drill. If you require a better hammer and tool quality in general, the Craftsman Piece Home Kit is another option to consider that's also affordable.

We tested these tool sets head-to-head and compared them to our family favorites, like a Stanley hammer that's been around for nearly 40 years and Channellock pliers of approximately the same vintage. Our team systematically tested every tool included in each set for several weeks. We rotated through the hammers, knocking nails in and prying them back out.

Then we pulled more out with the pliers and worked on wire projects with the needle-nose options. We tackled rusty old bolts with the wrenches and ratchets and stripped old wires with the wire strippers.

We ran battery life and charging time tests on the cordless drills and compared each kit's tool selection to determine their overall quality. We removed ski bindings with ratchets and then tightened truck toppers and bicycle bolts with various wrenches. Then we looked at toolset costs to compare value.

Clark Tate led our tool testing team. Clark grew up in a farming community known for its excellent middle and high school vocational programs.

After several shop classes in middle school and a summer class in aerodynamics constructing model airplanes, Clark started taking advantage of her family's extensive tool set. She's helped build barns and fences, worked several roofing jobs, volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, and recently built out a camper van.

She believes that high-quality tools should last a lifetime and work for you instead of against you. Clark also recruited her father, Glen Tate, to try out all the tools to get a larger person's perspective. They mostly agreed on preferences, though Clark liked smaller, lighter hammers better.

Brian Smith is the quintessential jack of all trades. A professional mountain guide during the summers and winters, in the off seasons he has worked as a carpenter for over twenty years and as a bike mechanic for eight years.

With unwavering attention to detail, he has a keen ability to scrutinize the quality of various tools. His ability to guide folks through complex mountains translates to guiding consumers toward the products that best suit their needs.

From inexpensive tools that work for light-duty and infrequent use to day-to-day staples, we looked at a wide range of toolsets. We break down how each performed in our test metrics below. When testing tools, we first focus on their quality and function.

Then we note how useful the selection is for everyday tasks and specialized projects. Once we know how well they work and how long they are likely to last, we consider how much they cost. Everyone wants a good value. To find one, look for high-scoring options with lower prices. We are particularly impressed with the Amazon Basics Piece Hand Tool Kit.

It offers a great tool selection for general projects at home. Some of the tools are less than inspiring for instance, the pliers , but this kit will get you through many basic chores for less.

To get started with a trimmed-down selection of higher-quality basics, check out the Craftsman Piece option. You get fewer tools off the bat but without any duds.

If you're looking to dive into the DIY deep end, we think the extensive selection and high-quality tools in the Crescent Piece Professional Tool Set also offer a fair value.

Of course, tools that last end up saving you money over time. Channellock's 5-Piece Plier Set seems to have the same high-quality standards as a pair that's served our lead tester's family for 40 years. The Cresent piece sets a similar quality standard, and we see it as a good investment for anyone looking for an extensive socket set.

High-quality tools work well, making your job easier. If a tool warps easily or its grip slips, you'll have to work that much harder to get the task done. That's why we really focus on tool quality in our tests. The Channellock Plier , DeWalt Piece Mechanics Tools Kit and Socket Set , and Crescent Piece Professional Tool Set kits top the list, though the Craftsman options offer solid functionality as well.

As we've mentioned, our testers have a set of Channellock pliers nearly 40 years old and still holding steady. Our tests showed no difference between these ancestral pliers and the shiny new set, both USA-made. They were hands down the sturdiest pliers in the test with the best action, hold, and grip.

The needle-nose pliers also have the narrowest point of any other option in the test. This makes them more precise than most and our top choice for detailed wire work. Crescent is another big-name tool brand, and their Crescent Piece Professional Tool Set kit is impressive.

The sockets and combo wrenches are the sturdiest and most extensive we tested. The adjustable wrench has less play than any of the rest, holding its shape between turns, so you don't have to adjust it constantly. The rest of the set is less impressive but seems durable and more than holds its own with the other options tested.

The Craftsman Piece Home Kit is a step down in quality but offers good value for tools that cover the basics. The socket set works well, and the hammer is one of the best we tested. In fact, every tool in the smaller Craftsman set performs its task admirably. The pliers in the Amazon Basics set are subpar, and we aren't thrilled about the hammer's narrow neck since we've broken similar ones in the past.

We do like every other tool in the Amazon option, though, and we are impressed by the light and balanced hammer and its mini socket set. A power drill can save a ton of time, and this is a decent one that comes with some pretty good screwdrivers, a measuring tape, a box cutter, a hammer, and pliers that work just fine.

Though hole saws and spade bits are great for making large holes in wood, this drill struggled to power them through a board unless it was fully charged.

The battery runs out after less than half an hour of continuous use. That's pretty impressive, but since you don't get a spare and it took over three hours to charge, you'll be limited to shorter projects. The Dedeo Cordless Hammer Drill Kit has an extra battery, and it charges much faster, but it also comes with a stack of very low-quality tools.

They are harder to use and may not stand the test of time. We suggest skipping this option and the Cartman Orange Piece set, which is similarly low quality. The Cartman Piece Set , Dekopro Piece Tool Set , and Apollo Tools 71 Piece Household Kit are all a little better, but not by much.

They'll work for a time and each has a few nice additions mostly the screwdrivers. Still, we recommend building your tool set over time if you can't afford one of the better kits.

Though the Crescent and Channellock Pliers sets are the highest quality, neither includes the necessary household basics, like a hammer. The Crescent Professional Tool Set is great if you need to work on cars, lawnmowers, tractors, or other engines but won't do much to help you hang a picture frame.

The Amazon Basics Piece Hand Tool Kit gives you the best combination of tools to get you through most household chores and repairs.
