Whether you have a man in the house or not, a tool box will always come in handy when you need it. The task might not be as gruesome as putting a furniture together. But sooner or later you will have to make use of a hammer and nail to put that frame up in the specific corner of the house. How about installing ceiling or wall fans that needs a particular screw driver? It pains to have the need to run to the hardware every time a need as such arises.
Truth be told, a well equipped tool box is a necessity in any household. But the question is, how do we start building our own, preferably basic tool box. But before running to the hardware and picking up just about everything you think qualifies as a tool, you need to set your mind on picking only quality tools. The brand is not exactly the issue. But the quality. It pays to search for reviews of durable but affordable tools. Shelling out set tools for cheap will only last you a couple of uses untit it breaks on you.
Start with the Basics. Basic tools will mean, hammer, screwdrivers, measuring tapes, test instruments, some plumbing tools.
