SMALL TOOLS

Fill your toolbox with basics such as a set of Allen keys, a measuring tape, electrical and duct tape, a builder’s knife and the allimportant builder’s pencil (or a few if yours often go walkabout). You’ll also need a spirit level, because no one wants wonky shelves; a decent set of pliers – great for gripping and holding objects firmly, especially those in tricky positions; and an adjustable wrench or spanner to tighten and loosen a range of nuts and bolts.
