This will save you a lot of grief when buying furniture, hanging art perfectly in the center of the wall, and seeing if you can fit that extra wardrobe into your bedroom.
Hammer
Imperative for hanging hooks, art, shelves, etc. Also comes in handy when you are crushing ice for strawberry daiquiris.
Philips Head Screwdriver
Trust us, you won’t be able to put together your IKEA furniture without it.
Electric Drill
With one of these in your hands, you will wield power you never thought possible. You’ll feel like you can accomplish anything—watch out, hanging plants! You’ll be cluttering window frames in no time!
Wrench
Tighten or loosen anything. Fix your bike. If you’re brave, a wrench will also allow you to do some minor plumbing repair.
Needle Nose Pliers
(Double as wire cutters) You’ll be amazed at how many jewelry malfunctions can be fixed with a pair of these bad boys.
Utility knife
This handy tool will save your manicure. It can be used to remove labels, slicing through the annoying plastic packaging that houses your new curling iron, and scraping sticky things off mirrors and windows.
