A basic toolbox is a must-have for every apartment resident. You never know when you might have to tighten a screw, hang up some decor, or put together a piece of furniture. Having the right tools on hand can also save you from having to call our maintenance team for a little repair job that you could easily complete on your own.
The following are the essential tools that every apartment resident should have:
• Screwdriver set -- You’ll need various sizes of both types of screwdrivers -- the Phillips head, which has a tip with an X shape, and the standard head, which has a tip with a straight line.
• Allen Wrench -- This L-shaped tool has a hexagonal tip and is often used for assembling furniture
• Adjustable wrench -- Wrenches are not only useful for repairs, but they can also be used to twist off too-tight bottle lids.
• Level -- If your apartment allows you to put things on your walls, you’ll want to have a level to ensure that your items will be hung up straight.
• Hammer
• Duct tape
• Pliers
• Retractable measuring tape
• Flashlight
You’ll also need a toolbox in which to store and carry these items. And while it’s not technically a tool, a step stool is definitely something that is useful to have in your apartment.
