The Toolbox checklist
- Starter toolkit: tape, hammer, driver bits, wrench, pliers, knife, level, drill, glasses.
- Use a drill: right bit, clutch low for screws, pilot holes, scan for wires first.
- Find a stud: calibrate, mark both edges, screw in the center, check 16 inches along.
- Wall anchors: stud first, plastic for light, threaded for medium, toggles for heavy.
- Read a tape measure: halves, quarters, eighths, sixteenths; mark with a V; measure twice.
- Socket and torque wrench: exact fit, direction switch, stop at the click, store at lowest.
- Sharpen a knife: steady 15 to 20 degrees, raise a burr, both sides, finish fine.
- Circular saw: clamp and support, blade a quarter inch deep, guard working, stand aside.
- Protection: impact glasses, ear protection, fitted mask, no gloves near spinning tools.
