So you buy a nice two shelf bookcase but it’s wobbly and you know it won’t hold much. I’ve recently gotten one and my solution was to put L-brackets on it. After installing about 8 of these brackets at the cojoining parts of the shelving, it is now completely stable and ready for use.

    Excellent list!

    Man, how often needle nose pliers come in handy is INSANE.

      The list I thought of is a list of the most common things I use in any kit for just a homeowner doing things around the house.

      If the person isn’t interested in doing things around the house any more than they have to … then the kit is enough to do the most basic things.

      If the person is interested in doing things around the house … then the toolbox can be filled with more and more things.

      I like building/repairing/renovating/tinkering/mechanics and anything like that and after 30 years I have a ton of stuff and the main kit I carry around in my truck basically would allow me to do just about anything. Not a professional but capable enough to do about 80 to 90 percent of most things that is in, on, around, over or under a house.
