HomeLab — The beginner’s guide to a useful toolkit
Start with a tape measure, a spirit level and screwdrivers that match common fixings in your home. Add tools for a specific project rather than buying a large kit immediately.
Choose for the job
Check the tool’s size, grip and intended material. Ask for advice if you do not understand a rating or fixing type. Protective equipment should match the task and product instructions.
Care for your tools
Check tools for damage before use. Keep them clean and dry, protect sharp edges and store them securely away from children. Read the manual before using any powered equipment.
