All of us at Wildcat Movers know that when you’re moving across town or moving to Plano, it’s exciting to decorate and fix up your new home. Every household should have at least a basic toolbox, so that improvements and DIY projects go smoothly.

Many people get overwhelmed when they see all the different tools available at the hardware store, but putting your first toolbox
together can be a fun and inexpensive investment! Here are some recommended essentials.

Safety First!
Make sure to have goggles, gloves, and paper masks at the ready. That way you can safely take on all the fun projects you’ve been planning
for your new place!

The Basics
A hammer, box cutter, tape measure, screwdriver set, and duct tape are great general use items that come in handy more often than you’d
think. Some other basics are a set of pliers, electrical tape, and a set of Allen wrenches.

Hung Up
Always trying to straighten up that crooked artwork on your wall? A well stocked toolbox will solve that problem! A level, stud finder,and an assortment of screws and nails are must-haves for customizing your new space.

Power Player

If you only buy one power tool, it should be a cordless drill. A drill can be used for basic applications, such as hanging something on the wall, or more advanced jobs, like building furniture. A drill is a wonderful addition to any tool arsenal.

Once the hardware store doesn’t seem so intimidating, improving your new home will be a fun hobby instead of a stressful ordeal. And don’t
forget that when you’re moving, your local moving company in Plano are also an awesome tool to utilize!
