Tools of the Home Repair Trade

Friday June 1, 2007
Confused sometimes about tools? You have to use them for home repair but which one for what job? And how do you safely use a circular saw anyway?

Well, I've assembled a nice visual gallery of the most common home repair tools for you. There are even some detailed "how to use" tutorials for some of the tools. Take a read through and see what tools you need!

  • Hand Tool Photo Gallery
  • Power Tool Photo Gallery
  • Tool Usage Guides

    Oh and if you want to make your own safety glasses, I'll show you how to make them out of duct tape in the tutorial How to Make Duct Tape Safety Glasses.

    All you'll need is duct tape, a wire hanger, a beer bottle (flavor is up to you), a pair of plastic furniture caster cups and long nose pliers.
