Basic tools that you need at home
At every home you need a kit of essential tools that you might need in case of emergency. The basic tools that you will need are: screwdrivers, spanners, a hammer, and pliers.
It would also be handy to keep basic electricians’ tools handy, such as special pliers to strip wires when you rewrite plugs. A wrench can be handy for plumbing problems, and insulation and gaffer tape will have hundreds of uses.
It’s also good property maintenance practice to keep consumables such as fuses and light bulbs in your house, so if something happened and the shops are close you can still handle the problem. Keep a range of fuses and bulbs dry and warm. You should also buy washers in case of a dripping tap.
