Retractable Blade Hand Tools

Houses require a lot of upkeep and maintenance. Rather than having a professional come to fix things every time something stops working, you can complete projects and make repairs yourself with a host of hand tools and hand tool sets at your disposal. Whether you need to do some work with electrical tools, hang a picture frame or keep your garden blossoming, there are many different types of tools and equipment to choose from.

Around the House

There are many hand tools that are considered to be essentials in any household tool box. Some essential hand tools to stock up on are wrenches, pliers, hammers, screwdrivers and utility knives. Whether you need to drive a nail into a wall, so you can mount a gorgeous piece of artwork, cut through ropes, snip electrical wiring or tighten and loosen nuts and bolts, go-to hand tools keep you prepared for any type of job in your home.

Outdoors

The outside of a house is the first impression that visitors and guests receive. Make sure your lawn, garden and patio are neat and well-maintained with plenty of hand tool sets to choose from. Chop up wood for burning in a fireplace with an assortment of sharp axes, transport piles of soil over to a gardening area with wheelbarrows and water plants and grass with long hoses.

Specialty and Professional

For jobs that require expertise, choose a hand tool that's designed to accomplish specific tasks. Hold pieces of wood or other materials securely using a clamp or vise, which frees up your hands for sanding and other types of work. Etch instructions into metalwork with scribers or attach pieces of rope to an anchor material with eye bolts. For any project, there's a hand tool available to help meet your needs.
