A tight toolkit covers most apartment and house fixes. Start here before you fill the garage.

Cordless drill kit

Mount shelves, assemble furniture, and handle weekend projects without hunting for outlets.

Why buy: The one tool you will use monthly. Get a kit with bits included.

Screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and a case so nothing disappears under the sink.

Why buy: Cheaper than buying pieces one by one, and easy to grab in a hurry.

Hang TVs and shelves straight, and hit studs instead of drywall anchors by accident.

Why buy: Prevents crooked mounts and damaged walls — worth it on the first project.
