Fix it yourself — with the right tools in hand.
Whether you're moving into your first home or just tired of borrowing tools from your neighbor, building your own basic toolkit is a smart, long-term investment. And no, you don’t need to buy an entire hardware store. You just need to start right — with reliable, multi-use tools like those from Miles.
From tightening a loose doorknob to assembling a new shelf, homeownership (or even renting!) comes with its share of fixes. Having your own toolkit saves time, money, and stress — while giving you the satisfaction of doing things on your own.
Here's a beginner-friendly list of tools that cover most household needs:
Flathead and Phillips head screwdrivers are must-haves for everything from electronics to furniture.
For nails, light demolition, or just opening stuck lids — a claw hammer is versatile and essential.
Because "eyeballing it" doesn’t always work. Get one with a lock feature for easy measuring.
For pulling, gripping, and bending — a good pair of pliers is a quiet hero in many situations.
Opening boxes, cutting rope, or DIY projects — a sharp, durable cutter (like from Miles) is a game-changer.
Works on bolts of various sizes, especially handy for plumbing fixes.
Keep a small organizer box for commonly used hardware bits.
Start small. Build smart. Invest in high-quality tools instead of cheaper options that may not last.
Conclusion:
A good toolkit is like a first-aid box — you might not need it every day, but when you do, you’re glad it’s there. Start with Miles Tools — durable, trusted, and built for every home hero.
