I have to confess that my journey with power tools didn’t truly begin until I was an adult and faced the daunting task of hanging shelves in my first place. I confidently borrowed a hammer, nails, and a drill from my neighbor while insisting, “No, I don’t need any help!” Fast forward a few hours, and my shelf took a dive in the middle of the night, leaving me with unsightly holes that devoured my entire security deposit. Lesson learned, right? Since that fateful night, I’ve built up my own collection of tools to tackle simple repairs and assemble furniture myself. Honestly, there’s something exhilarating about wielding a hammer and drill—get your mind out of the gutter, people!
If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend investing in a cordless drill like this one: Amazon. If pink is more your style, there are plenty of options available: Amazon. You might even consider a complete project kit: Amazon. And let’s not forget the essential laser level, which measures up to 130 feet and is a game-changer for any DIY project: Amazon.
For all those Pinterest enthusiasts out there who are convinced you need to buy old furniture to sand down and repaint for that trendy shabby chic look, you absolutely need to have one of these tools: Amazon. I wouldn’t call myself a “pro” just yet, but let’s just say I could easily host my own home improvement show.
