Every workshop is different, but a handful of core tools cover most daily tasks — from measuring and fastening to cutting and finishing. Here is what we recommend keeping within arm’s reach.
1. A dependable cordless drill/driver
For fixing, assembling, and light drilling, a quality 18V platform saves time on every job. Look for brushless motors, spare batteries, and a charger that fits your existing kit.
The rest of the essentials
- Measuring & marking — tape, spirit level, pencil, and a sturdy work light.
- Hand tools — hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, and a compact screwdriver set.
- Cutting — utility knife with spare blades; add a multi-tool for tight spaces.
- Protection — gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection when needed.
- Storage — tool bag or box so kit travels cleanly between van and bench.
