Nick shows us the essentials every homeowner should have in their tool kit! From hammers and screwdrivers to utility knives, he's got the list you need. Whether you’re a new homeowner, a renter or on your own for the first time in a dorm, a stocked tool bag will make last-minute fixes around your place quick and easy.
An affordable way to stock up your toolkit is by purchasing toolsets. For example, wrenches often come as a set, as do pliers and screwdrivers. Another tip for Nick is to purchase Allen wrenches as a set of metric and standard sizes because most bicycle repair is done with Allen wrenches.
