Basic Toolbox Kit

For years, I carted a rock from house to house. I used it to bang nails into the wall for picture hanging. I knew it wasn't the best tool for the job, but I was too lazy to go down to the hardware store and buy myself a hammer.

First-time home buyers will definitely value, use and appreciate a basic tool kit. It doesn't need to be expensive or top-of-the-line tools; however, good tools will last generations. A basic home repair toolbox contains essential items such as a hammer, hacksaw, pliers, assorted screwdrivers, plumber's wrench, basin wrench, drill and a tape measure.
