How to equip your basic tool kit?
Every home needs to be prepared for minor emergency repairs. A basic tool kit (Home Kit) must include: a claw hammer (for driving and extracting nails), a measuring tape of at least 5 meters, a set of screwdrivers (flathead and Phillips), combination pliers, and a utility knife. These solve 90% of common household problems, from assembling furniture to tightening loose hinges.
If you want to take it to the next level and tackle more complex projects, your first purchase should be a cordless drill/driver. Without cables getting in your way, a 12V or 18V drill allows you to drill holes in wood, plastic, or light masonry and mount shelves in record time. Don't forget to add a spirit level to your kit to ensure everything is mounted perfectly straight.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tools and DIY
How do I choose the right drill for home: corded or cordless?
If you need a device for occasional repairs, furniture assembly, or drilling drywall/light brick walls, a cordless drill (12V-18V) is the most versatile and convenient choice. However, if you intend to frequently drill into reinforced concrete, you will need a corded hammer drill to provide the sustained power required.
What kind of wall plugs should I use for drywall (plasterboard)?
Do not use universal plastic wall plugs for drywall! You need special self-drilling anchors (which screw directly into the board) or toggle/butterfly anchors (which open up behind the board). These distribute the weight over a larger area, preventing items (e.g., pictures, light shelves) from tearing out of the soft wall.
How do I extend the lifespan of my hand tools?
The main enemy of hand tools (pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers) is rust. Always store them in a dry toolbox away from moisture. After using them in damp environments, wipe them with a dry cloth and occasionally apply a thin layer of lubricating oil (e.g., WD-40) on the metal parts and plier joints to keep them moving smoothly.
