Lesson Overview

21.3 – Basic Tools Everyone Should Know: Knowing basic tools builds independence and helps you handle everyday repairs with ease. A reliable toolkit should include essentials like a hammer, screwdriver set, pliers, adjustable wrench, tape measure, and flashlight. Add nails, screws, and a level for general home adjustments. Each tool serves a clear purpose—using them safely prevents frustration and injury. Learn the difference between flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, or between pliers designed for gripping versus cutting. Store tools in one accessible place and return them after each use to maintain order. Regular familiarity through small tasks keeps your skills fresh. Confidence with tools makes you more self-reliant and capable of solving minor problems on the spot. The right tools and basic knowledge can transform a stressful moment into a calm, achievable repair experience.
