The tool box…

Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.

We were asked a while back by one of our friends and readers the question, “What are the first tools that I should buy for remodeling?” So we have been thinking about this for a while. 

When I first started my collection I asked the same question. I had no option as to the tools that would help me the most with my remodeling projects. We just purchased things as we went and felt bad for ourselves that we didn’t have them before… Anyway, I decided to come up with a list,

Mr Bekob’s
Top 10 Most Used Power Tools for Remodeling I hope that you find this useful and that it will give you a place to start when adding to your tool box. 

Over the next few weeks I will tell you why these tools are necessary, how they can be used and what things you can build with them. (check back Saturdays for Mr Bekob’s Tool Box). Just FYI, this list is
in order of how these items may be used, not most necessary. All images courtesy of google search, you will have to research brands when you shop!

1. reciprocating saw – aka Sawzall for demolition 2. large shop vacuum – for cleaning up 3. circular saw – cutting 2×4’s for framing etc.   4. drill (cordless) – for ease   5. compound miter saw – for moldings and finish work (a miter saw with a sliding blade, to cut out the need for a radial arm saw is even better!) 6. air compressor – for nail guns   7. nail guns – both framing and finishing (a staple gun is also helpful!!) 8. jig saw – for tight curves and cut outs.   9. wood router – for custom edges and joints     10.table saw – for more accurate long cuts   What are your go-to tools? What can you not live without?
