<[[Brennen]]> Sooner or later you realize that the right tools make all the difference in the world. Here's a hypothetical list of the stuff that should be in my toolbox.
|
|
|
|
* General-purpose hammer.
|
|
* Multiple screwdrivers: Phillips, flat head, and a square drive.
|
|
* Pliers: The ordinary sort, the needlenose sort, and a pair of vice-grips.
|
|
* Tape measure, as well as some kind of rigid straight-edge.
|
|
* Hatchet or machete, if not both. (Functions may overlap, but the former can split firewood and drive stakes, while the latter is what you will miss when murdering weeds.)
|
|
* Hand saw (sharp).
|
|
* Socket set.
|
|
* Wrench set.
|
|
* Small pry bar.
|
|
* Hex keys.
|
|
* Level.
|
|
* Chalkline.
|
|
* Pencil or crayon, something that can leave a nice heavy line.
|
|
* Wood chisel.
|
|
* Nail set.
|
|
* Putty knife / scraper.
|
|
* Roll each of duct, electrical, drywall, and plumber's tape.
|
|
* Couple rolls of different gauges of wire.
|
|
* Box of miscellaneous fasteners (screws, nails, small brads, nuts and bolts, some of those little velcro fastener things).
|
|
* Wood or rubber mallet.
|
|
* Sandpaper.
|
|
* Rasp/file.
|
|
* Whetstone.
|
|
* Can of WD-40.
|
|
* Packet of wooden shims.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, there are some things in the "too big for a box, but maybe not for the trunk of my car" category.
|
|
|
|
* Sledgehammer and/or maul.
|
|
* Large pry / wrecking / crow bar.
|
|
* Jack.
