5 Essential Tools for the Home Repair Professional

Cliff Davis began his career in real estate development three decades ago, working out of the back of his truck doing home repairs. He gained a lot of valuable experience during those years. He quickly came to understand the importance of having quality tools. Here is a list of some tools that a home repair professional may find beneficial.  

  • Staple gun - A pneumatic staple gun is a handy tool to have. One that does not use clips may be more efficient, depending on your needs. This is a tool which you will use often, so choose one of high quality.
  • Hooks - You only have two hands, so it is helpful to hang tools while working. Some tools come equipped with rafter hooks. You can also buy hooks to install onto your tools. This is most commonly used for framing guns.
  • Foam dispensing gun - Foam is often used as a sealant. The canned spray foam is inefficient and causes enormous frustration. A dispensing gun saves time and helps to avoid problems caused by a can running dry.
  • Scissors - Not just any old scissors, you need a pair of heavy-duty scissors that can cut through a variety of materials.
  • High-quality hose - A high-quality hose can make all the difference. Do not cut corners on your hoses. Select those with high ratings.

It is difficult to perform any job properly without appropriate tools. When it comes to home repair and building, your tools are essential. All the knowledge and talent in the world do you little good without the correct tools. Take time in selecting these items and choose the highest quality that fits into your budget.
