Here are some more information for Repair Tool Kit:

Occasionally, every homeowner is required to do small fix-it job around their home. Not every homeowner is a full-fledged "handyman," but it's still important to have a small tool kit that is clean, organized, and in a good state of repair. Here are the top 10 tools that every homeowner's tool kit ought to contain:

1. Hammer

A hammer is required to drive brads or nails. Hammers come in various sizes, generally sized by ounces of the head. A 12 ounce hammer is fairly light and will drive a brad for hanging a picture, but if you have nail that needs to be driven into a piece of wood, a 16 ounce hammer is much more useful.

2. Flat Head Screwdriver

You'll need one with a mid-range slot about 1/4 inch across the head. The end of the screwdriver should be good and square for safety reasons. If you can afford it, purchase a small set of 3 or 4 different size screwdrivers.

3. Philips Head Screwdriver

For the average homeowner, a #2 point screwdriver will be most useful because it will fit the majority of screws. If using an older screwdriver, be sure to inspect the condition of the tip. It should have good, crisp points.

4. Adjustable Wrench

An adjustable wrench (often incorrectly referred to as a crescent wrench) is a critical part of any tool kit. It fits square and hex nuts ranging from 1/4 inch usually up to 1 inch. If you wish, you can also purchase an adjustable wrench that will fit nuts larger than 1 inch across.

5. Slip Joint Pliers

The hole in one side of a pair of slip joint pliers will look like a figure 8. This is so the pliers can accommodate two different sizes of grips, small and large. Remember that if you use a pair of pliers to hold or turn a tap, it's important to first get a very good grip. If the pliers slip, the head of the tap or nut will be damaged and a wrench will never fit it again.

6. Alligator Pliers

This tool is often found in a plumber's tool kit, but can be useful for the average homeowner, as well. Alligator pliers allow you to grasp larger items, usually ranging from 1/4 inch up to perhaps 1-1/2 inches square.

7. Scissors

Every homeowner's tool kit should have one set of good quality scissors.

8. Side Cutters

Side cutters look like a pair of pliers with cutter jaws. They will cut through rope or metal wire much easier than scissors will.

9. Tape Assortment

An assortment of different tapes will also come in handy. Some good types to include are duct tape, masking tape, and clear packing tape.

10. Hardware Kit

A small hardware kit is a critical part of your tool kit, and can be easily purchased at most hardware stores. A hardware kit will contain an assortment of items: brads for hanging pictures and taps, nuts and bolts, wood screws, and even some sheet metal screws for repairing many household items.

Your homeowner's tool kit can be as small as the items listed above or large as you want it to be. Many homeowners begin with the items listed above, and then allow their tool kit to grow naturally over time. Whatever size tool kit you have, if it contains these 10 essential items, you'll be ready for most small repair jobs around your home.

Tool kit for 2006 PT?

We reciently purchased a 2006 PT cruiser with 2.4 l 4cyl. and 39510 miles. We noticed nothing wrong with the car, and it just passed a 127 point check at the dealer. With the increased technology of todays cars, what would be a good tool kit to put in the vehicle.

Car Talk
Q. My grandmother once owned a 1963 Rambler. My dad explained to me that she had sold the car when her health was starting to decline. Fast-forward a few years, when I took a new job in the same area near where my grandmother had lived. I happened to be at a car show, and in the midst of all those ’57 Chevys, old T-birds, Corvettes and Mustangs, which all start to look alike pretty quickly, I ...
