For basic home repair tasks, it is helpful to have a toolbox stocked with essential tools such as a hammer, screwdrivers (both Phillips and flathead), pliers, a tape measure, an adjustable wrench, a utility knife, a level, a flashlight, a set of Allen wrenches, and a set of different sized nails and screws. These tools will come in handy for a variety of basic repair tasks around the house.
