Hi guys, I’m looking forward to reading up and learning from all of your experiences. Buying my first home a few months back triggered me to start doing research on what tools most homeowners should have.. and then it became an obsession. the #TIA YouTube videos are what I look forward to each morning. So far I have purchases the Mag77 worm drive skilsaw, Rockwell f50 sonicrafter,  a rockwell jaw horse, table vice, socket set, speed square, level and Dewalt cordless drill. I have tackled some minor electrical work and a bathroom gut and reno so far. next spring I’m hoping to reno my kitchen and start building on a front porch. I’d appreciate anyone’s input on other must have tools for around the house.

welcome to the forums……most tools will come as needed, no sense buying tools you don’t need first because you will eventually need some kind of tool but first and foremost…….safety glasses…..
