Tool storage can range from 12-inch plastic containers to elaborate heavy-duty metal chests. Although the tools themselves will vary depending on the occupation of their owner, most of them would be considered incomplete without the following essentials:
-
Hammer
Debatably the most useful tool of all time, hammers have been around since practically the dawn of time (primitive hammers made from sinew and rocks have been found to date back to 30,000 B.C.).
-
Adjustable Wrench
Get a grip! Adjustable wrenches are versatile, allowing users to tighten and loosen many different sizes of fasteners with one tool.
-
Phillips Screwdriver
The self-centering Phillips head, named after American businessman, Henry Frank Phillips, is one of the most common types of screws and screwdrivers in the U.S. and Canada.
-
Hacksaw
Portable and versatile, the hacksaw is usually made with durable heavy-duty steel. Equipped with fine teeth, allowing users to easily cut a variety of materials.
-
Level
Without an accurate read to determine whether a surface is level or plumb, it would be nearly impossible to achieve a structurally sound and sturdy structure. Levels are an essential addition to today’s toolbox.
-
Measuring Tape
A measuring tape allows its users to achieve a precise measure of an object.
-
Utility Knife
The utility knife provides a sharp edge for cutting designed to be retracted when not in use. Its versatility makes a must-have for contractors.
