Home Tool Kit Buying Guide

A compact, well-chosen kit is often more useful than a large box of rarely used accessories.

Essentials

Consider tape measure, screwdrivers, hex keys, adjustable spanner and pliers for common household tasks.

Check tool material, handle comfort and whether the sizes suit your intended jobs.

If adding power tools, check battery platform and whether the charger is included.

Use suitable protective equipment and follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions.
