When you live on your own a basic tool set is a necessity. The basic items you need and the recommended brands to purchase are:
- Screwdrivers - You want to get a set of varying sizes of Phillips and Flat Heat (aka slot/slotted) Husky/Kobalt/Craftsman.
- Hammer - A 16 oz claw (smooth face) hammer with a fiberglass handle is ideal brand is unimportant.
- Crescent (aka adjustable) Wrench(s) - if you only get 1, get an 8"; but ideal is a set made by Crescent that is a 6" and 10" for around $20. Crescent/Klein
- Groove lock/Groove joint pliers - these are commonly known as Channel Locks (which is a brand) and are like a cross between a wrench and pliers. You want to get a 10" pair or larger or a 3 piece set with small medium and large (6", 8-10", 12-14"). Crescent
