Synopsis
This book is the ultimate easy-to-follow guide to the equipment needed for any DIY or renovation project. It offers solid, fascinating answers to the most common questions asked by those without experience or training: What tools do I need? Where to buy them? What to use them for? Quality or price? How to gain tool skills? And, how safe are these tools? The book then surveys, illustrates and explains nearly every common hand and power tool available today, from a tape measure to a caulk gun. Quick reference symbols identify each tool's relative cost, necessity and skill level. This is a practical and colorful reference to 150 common power and hand tools - what they are for, how to use them safely, which you should own. It offers detailed description of eight types of tool kits that you should compile and keep handy in different locations: home kit; apartment/office kit; electrical kit; car kit; machine and metal kit; plumbing kit; child's kit; and crafting kit. It is created and packaged by the London design studio Elwin Street Ltd.
