Questions people ask

How many pieces does a home tool kit need?
Piece counts vary widely, so focus on core tools like a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, wrench and tape measure rather than the total number.
Should the kit include a drill?
A cordless drill helps with furniture assembly and wall anchors, but it makes the kit larger and heavier to store.
