The most necessary tools for the home. What power tools do you need for your home?

So, let's assume that you have finally finished making repairs and now the task is to leave at home only those hand-held power tools for household work that may be useful in Everyday life. In general, you can do without power tools altogether if everything is already done turnkey. But let’s still go through the most popular electric construction units and try to understand whether they will be useful to us for performing typical “man in the house” tasks.

Screwdriver

As practice and reviews from users of construction communities and forums show, it will be almost impossible to live without a screwdriver. And this is not surprising - after all, something always needs to be tightened, altered, or moved to another place. Often, a regular screwdriver can handle this task, but we’re used to saving money. own time, and it’s not in vain that progress is moving forward: it’s time to get used to comfort.

What is important to know when choosing

  • Choose suitable bits for all the slots found in your home;
  • A corded screwdriver will do just fine for home use, but if you don’t want to run around with carriers and untangle wires, it’s better to use a cordless one;

Impact drill or hammer drill

The walls in our apartments are most often made of bricks or blocks, and the ceilings are made of concrete floors, therefore it is important to have a percussion instrument. Well, its use is quite clear: to hang a picture, shelf or mirror, and also to rehang something that was done contrary to the rules of the interior during the renovation fuss. There are also three-mode hammer drills: drilling, impact drilling, chiselling. Universal tools that replace several others are popular among home craftsmen.

What is important to know when choosing

  • Select the necessary drills, remember that for concrete you need pobedit ones. The most popular drill sizes are: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm; we recommend purchasing them in a set, where they are packed in a convenient case. This way the drills will not get lost and will be convenient to use;
  • Take care of your neighbors. Remember that a neighbor with a hammer drill is the embodiment of hell on Earth, do not make enemies for yourself. Operate the hammer drill at reasonable hours and not every day;
  • It may be worth purchasing a mixer attachment in case you are thinking of doing a small local renovation renovation.

Screwdriver

Will help you assemble/disassemble a computer, change or repair a socket with a switch. Again, it is replaced by a set of screwdrivers, but it depends on whoever is comfortable with it.

What is important to know when choosing

  • Choose the right bits. You may need small bits for spot work;

Electric sharpener

For those who like to sharpen a knife “correctly” and who do not want to bother with a sharpening stone, an electric sharpener is quite suitable for saving time.

What is important to know when choosing

  • Protect yourself and environment from sparks arising while working with this tool;

Grinder

If the floors are wooden, then this tool will probably work and even be quite popular. But in general its necessity seems doubtful. In a country house, if there is a staircase, a wooden floor in the bathhouse can become an indispensable assistant.

Construction vacuum cleaner

If you often plan to make or remodel something in a house or apartment, construction vacuum cleaner can help with one of the builder’s least favorite procedures – cleaning up after work. An ordinary vacuum cleaner cannot cope with a large volume of construction waste and will quickly become clogged, but a construction vacuum cleaner will happily suck up all the waste from your production.

Electric chain saw

In a country house with a bathhouse, it will help with the quick preparation of firewood. You can also use it to work in areas with thick trees.

Reciprocating saw

It is unlikely that you will be able to find a use for this tool in an apartment, but in a country house garden plot suitable for pruning branches and local installation work with wood, pipes.

Angle grinder (grinder)

Considering how versatile this tool is, which can cut, grind and replace a wall chaser, perhaps a 125 mm angle grinder. It will definitely come in handy on the farm.

Multifunctional tool (renovator)

Disputes about this tool are still raging: some consider it indispensable due to its versatility, others insist that it is unprofessional and ineffective. However, we recommend that you at least take a closer look at such tools, because for rare non-global work, a renovator can be very useful without taking up much space. And given the possibility of expanding its functionality by purchasing additional attachments and the fairly affordable price, purchasing this universal tool becomes more and more tempting. The Bosch Gop and Black & Decker Multievo models are popular, primarily due to the rich set of features out of the box.

Multievo promises to replace 10 tools:

  • drill;
  • jigsaw;
  • sander;
  • mini-disc saw for wood, chipboard, MDF and laminate;
  • oscillating tool (cutting into wood and drywall);
  • milling cutter;
  • screwdriver (bits included);
  • garden trimmer;
  • perforator;
  • pump with pressure gauge;

Just don’t try to do a complete repair exclusively with this tool, because a hammer drill attachment will never provide the functionality, power and efficiency that a classic electric hammer drill with one function (and sometimes several speed modes) has.
But for small finishing touches it will do just fine. And considering that all this can fit in one case and will not get lost around the apartment or country house- very tempting.

  • do not buy bad and cheap power tools for your home. Give preference to value for money. An expensive brand is not always good, but among not famous manufacturers you can find quite high-quality devices;
  • do not forget about quality consumables. Tool without consumables will lie idle;
  • purchase protective equipment and drawers or cases for convenient storage.

Works on summer cottage There is always plenty, but without the appropriate tool it will not be easy to complete. A wide range of equipment and accessories for performing various works. What to take and what not to spend money on? It's no secret that many expensive installations are not really needed or have much cheaper analogues. The answer to the question of what tools for your home and garden may be useful to you can be found below.

List of works of a summer resident

To find out what tools the average summer resident needs, you need to understand what exactly he plans to do on the site. All works are divided into two groups:

  1. Regular ones like watering, weeding beds, mowing lawns, and so on.
  2. Irregular – arrangement of beds and irrigation systems, slides, arches, construction country houses, other.

Considering the fact that a dacha is a garden, a vegetable garden and the house itself, the list of works is impressive. The main categories of tools that may be required to perform them:

  • electrical installations;
  • plumbing;
  • construction;
  • gardening;
  • carpentry;
  • locksmiths.

Hand tools needed by a summer resident: compiling a minimum set

Of course, you can buy a ready-made set of tools for the garden, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will have everything you need. Therefore, let's look at all the accessories that are needed to perform basic work on the site and in the house:


We named the most necessary tools for the dacha manual type. Want to buy something extra? You can do this, but there must be a basis.

Electric tools are the main friend and assistant of the summer resident

What electric tools are needed in the garden? You can also make a separate list here. It will include:

  1. Impact electric drill, thanks to which you can drill holes of any diameter without extra effort. Brick, concrete, wood, metal - the base can be anything. An electric hammer drill is used for the same purposes.
  2. Angle grinder (or grinder) with cutting discs For different materials, which will expand its functionality.
  3. An electric screwdriver is much easier to work with than a similar manual installation.
  4. An electric planer with an attachment is indispensable in woodworking.
  5. Jigsaw - allows you to make cuts, cuts, cuts in timber, cut flat lumber
  6. Mini electric chain saw.
  7. If you plan to do metal work frequently, buy welding machine, but keep in mind that it puts a very large load on the network.
  8. Electric.

Electric tool It costs more than a manual one, but it also has noticeably higher productivity.

Amateur or professional class: what to choose

We figured out what tools a man needs for his summer cottage. The question arises: which class of equipment is better - amateur or professional. It is clear that professional tools are more powerful and productive, but they also cost significantly more. Is the expense of purchasing it justified?

An amateur tool is more versatile and less productive. When choosing a drill, think about whether you need to drill the maximum number of holes per hour or whether such expenses for the purchase of professional equipment are simply impractical. As for the brand, the devices are worldwide famous brands are more expensive than less popular ones. Domestic tools cope with the assigned tasks perfectly and have a lower cost, so if you have a limited budget, it makes sense to pay attention to Russian-made products.

All fewer men know how to want to hold a hammer or drill in their hands. "For what? I’d rather make money and hire a professional.” But a woman appreciates it when her husband does the housework himself, with his own hands. A man is not when he is drunk and wearing a vest. The guy is the one behind whom it’s like behind a stone wall.

For those who have started renovations or simply like to make things, we have prepared a selection of tools that must be in the house.

If you are planning to make repairs, then read other relevant articles

Everyday clothes, home “first aid kit”, and without home tool.

Often, “collecting” tools for the home begins spontaneously, it is not planned, and special goals and objectives are not set for this.

It was after repeated tightening of the bolts with pliers and painting window frames with the first brush you come across. You get the idea that you need special functional tools.

By reviewing what you already have and deciding which home tool you will need in the near future. And what - later, you can gradually acquire new things, replenishing the set of your workshop.

When choosing hand tools, be guided by the main criterion - quality.

Properties and reliability of professional hand tools differ from the characteristics of an amateur, an ordinary one. High-quality tools from well-known manufacturers are expensive, but they are convenient, practical, and durable.

What tool should you have at home?

Hammers

The hammer can perhaps be considered one of the most ancient tools created by man. It has been performing its functions for hundreds of years, and during this time its purpose has not completely changed; meanwhile, this instrument has also undergone the invasion of modern technology.

  1. The first place in terms of prevalence is occupied by metalworking hammers (different square section with one-sided bevel of the striker).
  2. The next position is occupied by claw hammers.
  3. Next come wooden mallets, sledgehammers, as well as rubber-faced models and hammers used by masons and tilers.

For the manufacture of imported and domestic products High Quality They use hardened steel, their heads and handles are distinguished by high-quality processing, a comfortable handle shape and excellent balance (the latter factors are of particular importance for professional tools).

Some models have a notch on the striker that prevents the tool from slipping during impact.

Screwdrivers

When working with threaded connections, with all kinds of screws and bolts it is simply impossible to do without screwdrivers, which have become a household tool of special importance.

The tool must be selected in accordance with the shape and size of the hardware slot:

  1. The simplest slot is considered to be a straight, simple slot.
  2. The most common is cruciform (RN type).
  3. The spline can also be a reinforced cross-shaped one, similar to a cross with a star superimposed on it and rotated 45 degrees (type PZ).

To check if the screwdriver fits the slot, just insert the blade of the screwdriver there. A screwdriver is suitable if the plasticine has been squeezed out completely.

Experienced practice home handyman showed that it would be enough to have three screwdrivers with a straight blade and two Phillips in the collection.

When turning a screwdriver, it often becomes skewed relative to the axis of the screw being screwed in, so it is preferable to choose long tools: it is convenient to hold them strictly along the axis of the screw, ensuring reliable contact with the hardware.

It is better to choose screwdrivers whose tips and shafts are made of chrome vanadium steel (appropriate heat treatment ensures the hardness and strength of the tool). In branded screwdrivers, as a rule, the tip is processed in a special way to improve adhesion to the fastener. This tool may have wooden or plastic handles.

The practice of an experienced home craftsman has shown: the best option when working with electrical equipment are plastic handles, covered with rubber. Polypropylene handles with elastic linings are distinguished by a rounded triangular shape that perfectly matches the shape of the palm.

At electrical installation work It is best to use an indispensable small probe screwdriver that allows you to detect wires and parts under electrical voltage.

Marking and measuring tools

In any home workshop, the essential item is steel rulers, the length of which is 300 - 600 mm, and, of course, pocket tape measures, their length is 2 - 8 m. And not very convenient folding meters are now a relic of the past.

A universal home tool is a caliper, which can be used to measure the diameter of a hole in a wall or drill, the depth of a groove, the thickness of a board or steel sheet. For carpentry and plumbing work, squares are often used to measure angles.

But, since for modern finishes Precise adherence to dimensions is required; during home repairs you will need a level. A flexible water level is used to level at small distances between measurement points. It includes a flexible hose, with light graduated tubes inserted into its ends, plugged with plugs.

The rake level is durable and accurate metallic profile with a measuring flask built into it, containing liquid and an air bubble.

The length of this most popular measuring tool is 40 - 100 cm. Per 1 meter of length, the error of professional levels is, as a rule, 0.5 mm, for household levels - two times lower.

Marking on wood is usually done with chalk or a pencil, on metal - with a hardened scriber needle made of tool steel, as well as a center punch.

In addition, during finishing work, beating is done using such a specific tool as a painting cord, which is also useful to have in your own home workshop.

Video review of the marking tool:

Pincers, pliers

No household work is complete without ticks. Home renovation, plumbing, electrical installation, carpentry and joinery work, metal processing - all these works cannot be performed without the essential pliers.

The most versatile pliers are pliers that perform the functions of both pliers and wire cutters - notches with teeth allow you to wrap thin rods, couplings and small ones; the handles are insulated with plastic, which ensures safety during electrical work.

Pliers are pliers with “jaws” that have a pyramidal shape, rectangular section and notches on internal surfaces. They are convenient and reliable for gripping and bending wire and sheet metal.

Carpenter's pliers (nippers) are used to pull nails out of wood. Round-nose pliers are necessary for making contact loops on electrical wires and etc.

An interesting video on the differences between wire cutters, pliers, pliers and pliers:

Spanners

The most common type of wrenches are adjustable wrenches with a smooth jaw, which are designed to grip nuts and bolts, the diameter of which, in millimeters, is 25 - 30, no more.

In this case, the distance between the “jaws” of the wrench is adjusted using a built-in worm-and-rack transmission.

The versatility of this home tool hides its weakness - if you try to turn nuts that are too tight, the wrench can be damaged.

Another common type of wrench is the pipe (gas) lever wrench.

The support of its movable “sponge” falls on a trapezoidal thread with a nut. Thanks to the pliers-like design of the wrench and the ability to apply the effect of jamming the part, this tool is convenient to use when working with very tight threaded connections.

When performing household work, use wrenches designed for clamping pipes with a diameter of 36–50 mm, no more.

P.S. We have reviewed the most necessary tools that should be in every home.

But this list is not complete. Each home craftsman can supplement the workshop with his own repair tools and hobbies.

In our age of aggressive emancipation and gender equality, there is practically no concept of “female” and “male” instruments left. But just a few decades ago the former meant something like a ladle, a slotted spoon and cutting board, and under the latter are a hammer, nails and pliers. What can you do, the world is changing. However, even in our time, there are still houses where a “bag” with tools is kept, the undivided owner of which is the head of the family. To spite the skeptics, we can say that a modern man is capable of not only moving his fingers on the keyboard, but also hammering a nail or repairing an electrical outlet. And for this to be as high quality as possible, he must always have a universal set of tools at hand, with which he can quickly and effectively fix any problem.

For those who consider themselves to be members of the stronger sex, we have prepared a selection of tools that every craftsman needs - “crazy hands”.

claw hammer

Well, what is a set of tools without a hammer? They say that even if a man simply holds it in his hand, his testosterone levels will immediately increase.

A hammer is a well-known percussion instrument, which is mainly used for hammering nails and breaking objects (splitting walnuts doesn't count). It consists of two main parts: a metal striking part and a handle made of wood or plastic. A hammer can be of several types, depending on the size and shape of the striking part, as well as its purpose.

Ideally, every home craftsman should have several hammers. But if you decide to limit yourself to one, then the most versatile option is a hammer with a nail puller. On the side opposite from the striking part, its strikers are shaped like a fork, so that with the help of this tool it is possible not only to hammer in, but also to remove nails back.

Adjustable wrench

Have you ever wondered why in old German porn films the plumber comes in holding not a plunger (which would be logical), but an adjustable wrench? When they see a man with this instrument, most women at the subconscious level begin to experience complacent awe, because in their opinion this is exactly what a real man should look like.

An adjustable wrench can replace a dozen ordinary wrenches because its size is adjustable, which means it can be used for almost all types of bolts.

Level

Incredible useful thing! Without it, you can’t hang a picture evenly, level the floor, put a volume of Dontsova under the refrigerator so that it doesn’t wobble... Without a level, most likely, you will waste a lot of time and nerves until you achieve a more or less passable result.

Now on the market there are more advanced modifications of standard levels that can make your work as easy as possible.

Universal square

Perhaps in adult life, having encountered difficulties in using this tool, you once again regretted that you were inattentive in geometry lessons. The universal square can be described as an improved model of the school protractor, because it is also used for measuring and constructing angles.

Having one universal square, you can save on the purchase of a surface planer, a measuring rod, a measuring and drawing ruler and other tools.

Screwdriver Set

Screwdriver - absolutely necessary thing in every house. Most events take place with her participation minor repairs, for example, replacing sockets or switches, repairing household appliances etc. for different types There are different types of screwdrivers, so it is advisable to purchase a set right away. Believe me, this purchase will definitely pay off sooner or later.

Roulette

Roulette is very necessary thing, which should be in the arsenal of any master. It can be useful when doing the most common things, for example, if you need to compare the width of a cabinet and the size of the corner into which you want to push it, or measure the diagonal of a TV. The tape measure will not get tangled, will not break, and is unlikely to be lost. Simple and easy to use.

Hacksaw

Hacksaw is another one required attribute a man whose hands grow from the right place. A hacksaw is especially necessary if you live in your own home: you can use it to cut branches. It is also convenient to use for cutting lumber, and in general, a real man will always find something to cut, the main thing is to measure at least seven times before doing so...

Stationery knife

This instrument is most often found in classic English detective stories, as a crime weapon. It is difficult to say why exactly the stationery knife so excited the imagination of eminent writers, but in everyday life this tool is very useful. It is sharp and always at hand.

Pliers

This useful little thing can come in handy in unforeseen situations, for example, when you need to press something and don’t have enough hands. Pliers can also be used to unscrew bolts and nuts with broken edges.

Cordless drill/driver

Probably each of us “dreams” of being next door to a person who often uses this tool during repair work. Although, seriously, it is almost impossible for any master to do without it. Using such a drill, you can make a hole in the wall or tighten a screw.

When purchasing this item, you need to pay attention to the battery voltage. You can buy a cordless drill with a power of up to 18 volts, but keep in mind that the higher the voltage, the more the tool weighs. 12 volts is quite enough to perform small tasks. household work. It is also equally important that the drill has several speeds and has a reverse function, so that it is always possible to unscrew the screw back.

Another important nuance when working with a cordless drill-driver is that it is better to turn it on weekdays and in work time, if you don’t want to turn all your neighbors against you.
