At Pro Tool Reviews, we believe in empowering folks and helping them make the best tool choices for their situation. Many of our readers have asked how to build a basic tool set. Even the non-handiest person needs to make minor repairs, hang pictures, or assemble furniture from time to time!

We try to break down our recommended tools by category as best we can. Really, we just want you to treat this as a helpful list so that you don’t forget anything. If you have questions along the way, we’re here to help. Of course, if we forgot anything you think should be on this list—leave a comment below so we can consider adding it!

When buying a basic tool set, a certain collection of tools have no substitutes. You just need them. In consideration of space, our list includes basic tools with some options if you have the room and/or budget. While pre-packaged basic tools sets exist, many of these could include lower-quality pieces. Sometimes building your own yields better results.

Actually feeling the tools in your hand (before buying) helps you build a toolkit that you know works for you. You get to make sure you like the weight and size of a tool before adding it to your collection. We divided our list into several categories for simplicity. Feel free to jump to any category you need and start there.

Anyone who has ever bought “some-assembly-required” furniture knows you need some basic tools just to get by. A basic toolset comes in handy when you need to do things like adjust a bicycle seat, put up blinds, hang curtain rods, or replace a car battery. Find some simple recommendations below—but feel free to “roll your own” solutions as well.

We wanted to start here—and then tell you that’s not the point of this article. We didn’t create this list to recommend the best power tools brand. If you want a starting point, check out our best cordless drill reviews for some solid choices. For the handyman, pay attention to our low-cost recommendations. If you want something a bit more capable—we have those on the list, too.

The drill forms the core of your platform. After you find what you like, consider a kit. Make sure it at least includes an impact driver and circular saw. We consider the “core” tools to include a drill, impact driver, circular saw, and reciprocating saw.

For driver bits, you have an easier time. Grab some magnetic bits for driving various fasteners. You want a nice assortment as you may end up having to deal with Phillips, Torx, and even square drive fasteners at some point. We really like the Makita XPS impact driver bits on the top end. Realistically speaking, however, you can grab cheaper base kits from the likes of Bosch, Ryobi, and Craftsman Tools.

Next, we want to expand your hand tools and ensure you have some of the most common tools needed for tackling household jobs. We also include tools for project building and DIY creations.

An adjustable wrench definitely qualifies as one of those handy tools you need in any basic tool set when you can put your finger on what size the fastener head is. Look for a medium-sized model. We particularly like the Milwaukee adjustable wrenches but you can get cheaper tools.

With this type of recommendation, you have lots of options. Not everyone needs a set of wrenches right away, but most would benefit from having these tools. They definitely help if you plan to work on your own vehicle.

Pros may opt for a nice set of T-handles, but we like the folding style sets. They deliver multiple tools attached to a single handle. Stay away from loose kits as they get lost quite easily.

While a caulk gun (see below) works well for a variety of household projects—it introduces those tools required for painting. We don’t recommend sprayers—leave those to the professionals or for when you want to really get serious about your work.

When building a basic tool set you need solid layout, measurement, and cutting. These tools provide some of the most basic tasks for any job. That includes cutting up cardboard boxes, hanging things (televisions, mirrors, or even doors), and measuring a room for furniture or a carpet.

If you already own some power tool solutions, you may have less use for hacksaws and wood saws. Still, not everything easily cuts with a power tool. Consider grabbing a hacksaw that uses replaceable blades and works well for cutting hard materials like metal and PVC. Also, a basic wood saw comes in handy when you need to cut wood cleanly.

We can’t cap off this article on how to build a basic tool set without covering safety, organization, and clean-up. While your primary concern is buying a basic toolset, it also helps to know how to store them and protect yourself on the job site. Thinking about safety, organization, and cleanup right from the start can save you lots of headaches in the long run.

You want a good 50-foot extension cord. We actually prefer a couple of 50-foot cords over a single 100-foot cord due to how difficult longer cords are to manage. Spend the few extra dollars and get cords that use 12 AWG wire. See our extension cord size chart article for more info on how that affects your power tools.

You need some way to store and organize your tools. That might be either a toolbox or tool bag. Even a bucket can suffice with the right tool-storage accessory. Choose something that fits the amount of space you have and the number of tools you own. And you may need more than one solution—especially if you factor in your work vehicle and your shop or garage.

Wall Anchors – Consider picking up a variety pack that lets you hang and attach things to a wall with extreme ease and holding power. Also, check out our article on how to use drywall anchors for more info.

We’re certain this list doesn’t include everything you might need. Hopefully, it gets you on the right path. Whether you plan on tackling simple to more complicated DIY projects or even if you’re a future Pro starting out, the tools on this list should help you plan. Half the battle to getting projects completed often has to do with not having the right tools.

We purposely didn’t include power tools in this article. Our focus was teaching you how to build a basic tool set to prepare you for all manner of work. In the end, some of these tools may be stop-gaps while you learn what your preferences are. That’s OK. Every one of us learn as we go.
