The following tools are the ideal foundation for your toolbox:

• Hammer and chisel
• Wrenches and hex keys
• Screwdrivers in all common sizes and profiles
• Hand saw
• Files
• Measuring tools such as folding rules, squares and spirit levels
• Various pliers
• Power tools as needed

When choosing your tools, you should never skimp on price, because high-quality tools save you not only money in the long run, but also a lot of frustration. Who doesn’t know the old saying: “Buy cheap, buy twice”.

So rely on tools from quality brands such as Stubai, Högert or Kreg instead of wasting money unnecessarily on inferior products.

In the following, we take a look at the most important tools and show you when they are used.

These pliers & clamps belong in every toolbox

When it comes to tools, the wheat is separated from the chaff. The basics such as side cutters, combination pliers or round-nose pliers should, of course, be in every DIYer’s home. In fact, there are many more types of pliers that you can add as needed, because one thing is certain: no matter what task is coming up in your project, there is guaranteed to be the ideal pair of pliers for it.

Here is an overview of the pliers that are ideal additions to your basic equipment:

• Pipe pliers for holding and gripping pipes
• Flat-nose pliers for gripping or shaping
• Wire strippers for removing the plastic coating from electrical cables and wire ends
• Locking pliers or grip pliers for holding and securing
• Diagonal cutting pliers for cutting wires or pulling out nails
• Punch pliers for easily punching holes in leather, plastic or sheet metal
• Riveting pliers for joining two elements

You can immediately tell what kind of DIYer a man is by his workshop equipment. And that is even more obvious with pliers and clamps than with other tools.

If you find a cable cutter, cable pliers, wire stripper and cable shears in a home workshop, you can immediately tell that this DIYer knows their way around electrical work.

But not all tools are so specific. Clamps and quick-release clamps are part of even the smallest workshop setup. They help you with permanent bonding, secure fixing or temporary pressing. When choosing the right clamp, you should make sure it is sturdy and has the correct clamping force.

We show you which other tools should never be missing from a DIYer’s basic equipment in our small tool basics guide.

Not just worth their weight in gold for carpenters: saws, hammers, chisels, cutting tools & carving tools

Wood is one of the most popular materials for DIY projects. That is why many hobby workshops have various hammers and chisels, saws and carving tools. However, saws and hammers are not only used for woodworking. They are also used in many other applications.

Whether drywall, metal, insulation material or, traditionally, wood: the better your saw is matched to your task and the material being worked on, the more efficiently you can work with it.

This saves you time on the one hand and achieves nicer results on the other. After all, the quality of the cut shows whether a material was worked with the right saw. The classics among hand saws are…

• the crosscut saw
• the bow saw
• the jigsaw
• the circular saw
• the fine-tooth saw
• the chainsaw

You can find out which saw to use for which materials, in other words which saw is most suitable for your requirements, in our four-part saw guide.

In addition to choosing the right saw itself, you should of course always make sure that your saw blade is still sharp and therefore functional. You can find out how to sharpen or replace your saw blades effectively in our saw blade guide.

But it doesn’t always have to be a saw. When cutting fabric, thin plastic or paper, cutting tools such as utility knives or scissors are also suitable.

Choose quality saws from Högert and Stubai to achieve the best results in your DIY projects.

Drills, chisels & milling cutters for every purpose

Another indispensable tool for your toolbox is high-quality drill bits for your cordless screwdriver or drill. The right drill bit for you depends on which material you want to work on and how thick it is.

Using the wrong drill bit, many a DIYer has not only destroyed the workpiece, but also damaged the tool. If you want to drill a hole in a thin metal sheet, you need a different drill bit than if you are drilling into a thick piece of wood. There are also special drill bits for less common materials, such as concrete or stone.

Choosing the right drill bit for your workpiece is therefore essential. It is not uncommon to find a huge number of different drill bits in a well-equipped hobby workshop, alongside high-quality power tools.

But drill bits are not the only accessories for the drill. A good workshop also has hole saws, core bits, Forstner bits or other milling cutters.

Whether sanding, drilling, pressing or painting: power tools make life easier

Although most people immediately think of the drill when they hear the term power tool, there are actually electric tools for a wide variety of applications. Each one makes your hobby a little easier. The same applies to gas tools and pneumatic tools.

If you work with vehicle graphics, you probably have a heat gun, spray gun or tire inflator gun in your workshop. If you like crafting with your children, there is sure to be a hot glue gun in your household. And if you like tinkering with electronics, a good soldering iron is of course indispensable. To make all these power tools flexible to use, you should also have a robust cable reel.

Measuring technology: better measure twice than forget once

No matter what kind of work you enjoy most in your hobby, one step is unavoidable in most projects: careful measuring. Every DIYer has had to learn the same lesson sooner or later: you may think you measured correctly, but for some reason it still doesn’t fit in the end.

Because that is more than annoying, most DIYers swear never to repeat that experience and from then on follow the motto “better measure twice than forget once.” To make measuring especially fast yet thorough, there are a number of tools in measuring technology that make life easier.

Whether analogue tools such as welding squares, spirit levels, calipers and the classic folding rule, or digital cable locators or distance meters – you will find the right measuring tool at Heimwerkertools.

Make life easier with mounting aids

Correct measurements are also essential in furniture construction – but that is often where they are most complicated. However, with so-called mounting aids, you can make many measuring tasks easier. With them, measuring out for concealed hinges and the like becomes child’s play.

In the Heimwerkertools tool range, you will find many practical mounting aids and carrying aids such as center punch templates and drilling jigs for a wide variety of purposes.

With the right automotive tools, you save real money

For experienced DIYers, there is no reason to drive to a car workshop for the semi-annual tire change or the regular oil change. Because that wastes not only time, but also a lot of money. With the high-quality automotive tools from Heimwerkertools, that is no longer necessary.

From sturdy cross wrenches to practical oil filter wrench sets and hydraulic jacks, our automotive tool range offers many of the things you need for reliable maintenance of your car.

It is also essential to have the right automotive accessories when traveling with a motorhome or for van life. This means you can often help yourself quickly in the event of a breakdown.

High-quality screwdriving tools and sturdy fastening materials: the be-all and end-all in your toolbox

Ratchets, screwdrivers, hex keys and other screwdriving tools are undoubtedly part of the basic equipment of every toolbox, because hardly any project can be carried out without screwdriving tools.

Here too, you should pay attention to high quality, because nothing is more annoying than a screwdriver that gives up in the middle of a project. With high-quality tools from renowned manufacturers such as Stubai or Högert, you no longer have to worry about that.

To ensure that your screw connections hold rock solid, it is important to choose the right fastening materials. Whether coach screws, hanger bolts, grub screws or flat-head screws – at Heimwerkertools you will find a huge selection of screws, anchors and cover plates for all applications.

Wood and angle connectors – everything for timber construction

Angle and timber connectors are needed very often when working with wood. If you build your own table, make a loft bed for your children or assemble a chair, you are very likely to use a timber connector.

They provide a very simple and, depending on the type of timber connector, also a durable way to join two pieces of wood together.

Consumables and sanding accessories

In our range, you will also find the most common consumables so you can replenish your supplies. In addition to various sanding accessories, you will also find, among other things:

• Markers
• Pencils
• Chalk
• Insulation tape
• Hot melt glue
• Soft wax sticks
• Joint seal cord

See for yourself what we offer.

Tool sets, workshop lighting and other workshop equipment

For a well-equipped workspace, you need more than just the right tools. Even the highest-quality and most comprehensive tool sets are of little use if your workshop equipment leaves something to be desired.

A first-class workshop starts with the workshop equipment. Vices, magnetic holders and trays, organizers and tool boxes make life easier for every DIYer.

Of course, you should not neglect the most basic element of an optimal workspace: without the right workshop lighting, you will be at a loss for your next project.

With cleverly arranged equipment holders and wall hooks, you not only create space in the basement, but also give each of your tools its own place. This way, your most commonly used tools such as hammers, axes and saws are always within reach, hanging on the wall, and you can get started right away at any time. A convenience you won’t want to do without once you’ve experienced it?

When things get tough: crowbars and nail pullers

The crowbar, often also called a pry bar, is a tool that you won’t necessarily find in every workshop. But especially if you often work with heavy objects – such as sculptures or heavy crates – buying a crowbar could be worthwhile. Crowbars are indispensable in the workplace, especially for stonemasons.

How does a crowbar work? In principle, a pry bar is just a metal rod with two flat ends of different shapes. These ends are ideal for moving, lifting or – as in the case of tightly closed crates – prying open heavy objects using leverage.

In the Heimwerkertools range, you will also find nail pullers to help you remove jammed or bent nails.

Cooking accessories and barbecue accessories for culinary experiences

Almost all DIYers have one thing in common: they love barbecuing. And for good reason, because what could be nicer than sitting together on a mild summer evening with a cold beer or a good glass of wine and enjoying the delicacies from the grill.

If you also enjoy barbecuing or cooking, you know how important the right barbecue or cooking accessories are – above all, of course, the right knife. To ensure you always have the ideal tool at hand when cooking and barbecuing, Heimwerkertools offers you high-quality knives for every purpose.

Conclusion: High-quality tools and optimal workshop equipment are essential for DIYers

High-quality fastening materials such as screws and basic tools such as saws, hammers and the like are an essential part of every DIYer’s basic equipment. Depending on the tasks you do and the projects you like to work on, however, there are also a number of special tools that will make your life much easier.
