Essential Tools Every Indian Home Should Have
Why every home needs a basic tool kit
From tightening a loose hinge to hanging a photo frame, small jobs come up constantly. A basic set of good tools saves you money on callouts and the wait for a handyman. Here’s what to keep at home.
A reliable screwdriver set
The most-used tool of all. Get a set with both flat-head and Phillips drivers in various sizes, with comfortable grips. A magnetic tip is a bonus for holding screws in place.
A claw hammer
For driving nails and pulling them out. Choose one with a comfortable, non-slip handle and a well-balanced head — it makes every tap easier and safer.
Pliers
A combination plier grips, bends, and cuts wire, while a nose plier reaches tight spots. These handle countless little jobs around the house.
A measuring tape
Essential before buying furniture, hanging curtains, or any fitting. A 5-metre retractable tape with a lock is ideal for home use.
An adjustable spanner / wrench
One adjustable spanner replaces a whole set of fixed ones for plumbing and bolts — perfect for tightening taps and fittings.
A drill machine
For mounting anything on walls — shelves, frames, fixtures. A basic drill with a few bits handles most home needs and saves endless frustration.
Don’t forget the small stuff
- A utility knife
- A spirit level
- An assortment of screws, nails, and wall plugs
- A torch and some insulation tape
