Why Hand Tools Are Your Friends

Mythbuster:  Tools are not just for men but for women also.

My wife says hand tools are "her" friends because they keep me out of her hair.  (However I do spy her occasionally working a screwdriver or pounding down a chicken breast with my hammer.)  I believe hand tools are everyone's friends because they keep the world moving at a good clip.  Without tools you can't build, repair, assemble, or just plain make anything.  Every household needs a good tool collection.  Not hand-me-downs or rusty past-the-prime-of-their-life tools, but a solid collection of decent brand name tools.  At the very least, you should have a starter toolbox filled with the following:
Screwdrivers - both a standard and a Phillips head

• Small Hammer
• Pliers
• Ratchet and Sockets
• Hand Wrench with adjustable sizing
• Small Hand Saw
• Assorted Nails and Screws
• Electrical and Duct Tape
• Measuring Tape
• Small Flashlight

Obviously, the more you do around the house and yard, the more tools you'll need in your supply cabinet.  If you're in need of any supplies, please check out our website www.thetoolticket.com for all your home and tool needs.  If you find that we don't have what your looking for, let us know so that we can add it to our site. 

Good luck and happy tool time!
