I Recommend This Craftsman Tool Set for Basic Home Maintenance. It’s Currently 30% Off.
While I’m certainly a tool lover, I understand that not everyone needs an arsenal of power tools, saws, drills, and screwdrivers. However, everyone should have a good basic set of tools for occasional maintenance and repairs. Even if you live in an apartment and don’t aspire to be a jack-of-all-trades, sooner or later you may need to open up a chandelier to change a light bulb or hang a picture yourself. If you fall into this category, a simple and versatile Craftsman tool set will come in handy.
This 57-piece Craftsman DIY tool set is a great choice for those who think they don’t need tools, but may have found that removing a vent and cleaning it requires a screwdriver. If you’ve realized too late that the “no tools required” label on a DIY toy is a lie and what you really need is a hammer and Allen wrench, this tool set is just what you need. It’s perfect for apartment living and is on sale for $38.23, 30% off the regular price.
If purchasing this tool set makes you want to learn more DIY skills, you will have a good foundation for building a larger set. The ratchet, sockets, and bits are standard sizes, so they are compatible with other bits and sockets. These tools can also be used for more complex projects, such as installing shelves or replacing a light fixture, and will come in handy. I use many of these tools every day in the workshop. If you want to start with more complex projects to test your interest and skills, this set is a good starting point.
What’s included
The Craftsman 57-piece DIY tool set includes a screwdriver set, including a replacement handle with multiple bits. This part of the set will allow you to drive almost any standard screw. While most screws are Phillips or flat-head, you may also find some with a Torx or square head.
The kit also includes a ¼” ratchet with different socket sizes for loosening nuts and bolts. The kit also includes a set of Allen keys, which will come in handy when you’re trying to disassemble a five-year-old convertible bed that’s lost its fasteners.
The kit also includes a tape measure, hammer, pliers, utility knife, and a tool box. The box is compact enough to fit in a cabinet or drawer—you don’t need your own workshop for this kit—and the compartments help you organize all your tools and sockets so you can easily find them when you need them.
