3 Must-Have DIY Tools for Nashville Homeowners

8/7/2017 (Permalink)

What tools do you consider must-haves, Nashville?

While we are ready and able to help with cleaning or restoration, we also realize that many homeowners prefer to perform their own home maintenance. With that in mind, we present a list of three must-have DIY tools for home maintenance in the Nashville area.

1. Staple Gun

For both home improvement and repairs, a staple gun is a must-have. Many homeowners think of staple guns as a professional tool, particularly because larger ones can be pricey and difficult to use. We recommend purchasing a moderately sized staple gun; once you see the many uses it provides, you'll be glad you did. Staples are inconspicuous and sturdy, therefore, staple guns are great for reupholstering furniture and attaching curtains. Staple guns are also useful if your home experiences damage since staples can hold together dozens of materials. Take it from our professional technicians (and excuse the pun): this tool should be a 'staple' of your DIY toolkit.

2. Corded Power Drill

While many homeowners already have a power drill, for serious home improvement projects or repairs, we recommend owning a corded drill. Cordless drills, while great, tend to run out of juice when working on longer DIY projects. A corded drill is useful to have around if you want to assemble new cabinets, or if you want to build furniture yourself.

3. Reciprocating Saw

To close out this list, we chose a tool that most homeowners don't have. A reciprocating saw can cut through almost any material you might have on hand, from wood to tubing to metals. They're perfect for DIY furniture, or for demolition purposes. It's important to choose the right reciprocating saw, some are too heavy to be practical, but there's no end to the uses you'll find for one, making it one of our most highly recommended DIY tools.
