Home Tools You Never Knew You Needed

When it comes to home improvement, a well-equipped toolbox is essential for completing jobs around the home, from hanging a picture frame to putting together the furniture or doing major home improvements.

Besides having the basic tools- hammer, knives, pliers, etc., you should be prepared for everything by adding a few extra tools into the mix. These tools are used in all sorts of projects like painting doors, building your own table, etc.

Below are listed 5 such essential tools probably you might have never heard of.

A laser level:
A laser level is a control tool consisting of a laser beam projector that emits a laser beam to keep things perfectly horizontal while cutting beams or nailing in shelves, mirrors and frames. It also emits a vertical beam which helps for plumbing installations.

A non-contact voltage tester:
This gadget is the safest way to check whether the outlets are safe to work with, without touching the wires.  Plug the device into the outlet to make sure the electric current isn’t running. The tester lights up or make noise when it comes close to a live (hot) wire.

A paint sprayer:
Spray an entire gallon of paint in just nine minutes with this little guy!Get a smooth coat on your wall, furniture or door. It also sprays sealers and stains. Sprayers can create a mirror-like finish on furniture or cabinets because these atomize liquid into a fine mist.

A stud finder:
A stud finder is an amazing metal detector that can help you know if there’s a metal in the ceiling or behind the wall, before you start hammering.

A pull saw:
If you feel uncomfortable and heavy to work with a saw, this is an alternative for you. Pull saws can be used on wood blocks, hard-to-reach places and lumber. These have tiny teeth, a sharp and easy slice to cut when you pull the tool towards you.
