Assortment of picture hanging hooks
I always have a container of these on hand for when I change out my artwork and wall accessories. This is a great assortment at a great price!
Assortment of nails and screws
This is also a great kit to have on hand when the typical picture hanging hooks won’t do. Believe me, you will always need a spare screw or nail for something.
I love my Dewalt screw gun! This gun is the perfect size for my hands. It’s not too heavy but it’s sturdy and has plenty of power for your home improvement projects. It’s very easy to use.
A “level it” level to hang artwork
This is not the exact hanging tool I have because they don’t make it anymore 🙁 But this one from Black & Decker is very similar. It is the greatest invention ever! Not only can you mark where your hooks need to go but you can make sure it’s level at the same time! No more guessing where your nails go. Makes hanging anything super easy! Must have tool
Graph paper for laying out rooms
You should always have some graph paper on hand for sketching out floor plans and measurements. Makes scaling a floor plan easy!

Keep a jar on hand for whenever you redecorate and need to fill in nail holes. It’s easy to use and is a great DIY product.

These are great to have in your tool arsenal. Whenever you get a nick or scratch in your wood furniture, these crayons and markers will make them disappear.

You will need an air compressor for this tool but if your ready to build some furniture, shelving, or other wood crafts, then this tool should be in your bag. This is my favorite tool and I use it all the time!
For a complete starter kit for women this is a great set
Seen in the image above…I own this set too! This is a great starter set and by that I don’t mean quality wise, I mean for a basic set of tools. And it comes with the cute bag to hold it all.
