4 Tool Tips for the Novice DIY Fan

Wendy Wayne

The U.K is a nation of trades, but whilst tradesmen and skilled labourers are more than familiar with their tool kist and associated power tools, novice Brits sometimes need a little in the way of professional advice and a few simple tips.

Austerity is the buzzword of the decade, so heaps of homeowners are heading out to their local trade counters for measuring tools, hammers and perhaps even some overalls to put into practice the Great British tradition of make do and mend!

1. Do some research before buying a complete tool kit and advanced power tools on a whim! Tools like drills, grinders and saws come in a huge range of specifications, so make sure to buy the best one for a broad range of home DIY jobs.

2. Be honest about skill level. Sure, it feels great to stride up to a local trade counter and ask for a Clarke 8” Bench Grinder, but are those DIY skills up to the challenge? Don’t be afraid to seek advice from DIY forums and trade counter employees.

3. Stock a diverse tool kit of good quality products like vice-grip pliers, claw hammer, interchangeable screwdriver, needlenose pliers, sandpaper, wire cutters, adjustable wrench, safety glasses, tough gloves, glue syringe, tape measure, spirit level and an assortment of screws, nails and rawl plugs.

4. Learning by example is a great way to safely pick up skills, so use online instruction videos or a mate for guidance and advice.
