Multi-Tool
A good lesson for any DIYer is that it doesn’t matter what tools you own; what matters is what tools you have with you. A multi-tool puts an entire toolbox in your hip pocket, helping you find speedy resolutions for a range of household fixes.
Look for a sturdy multi-tool that includes screwdriver heads, pliers and a utility knife. Spring for a quality tool as your go-to, and consider buying a couple of cheaper ones to stash in convenient places around the home.
The Leatherman Wingman ($60) is a much-loved, reliable multi-tool.
