Not every one is a Mister Handyman at home but everybody should have at least these ten useful items:
1- Hammer (Buy the Stanley brand curved claw hammer. It’s a bit pricey but a good investment)
2- Wood Nails (Buy 20 pieces each of 1 inch and 2 inches.)
3- Cable Ties (Buy at least 10 pieces each of 3 inches to 6 inches)
4- Wire Cutter (It’s called a wire cutter but it has many uses like cutting cable ties)
5- Pliers (There are at least 6 types but for practically reasons, just buy the slip joint type)
6- Screwdrivers (There are at least 9 types however get the slotted or flat and phillips type which are commonly used)
7- Electric wires (Buy the 300 volt flat cord at least 5 meters. Pls. handle with extreme care. If you're not confident, don’t even try to splice a wire.)
8- Bulb (Buy the most used wattage in your house. If you’re clueless, just buy at least 15 watts for replacement)
9- Packaging Tape (Buy the two inch width heavy duty type. This has gazillion uses, just use your imagination.)
10- Heavy Duty Fastener (Buy the Arrow brand model T-50M).
I just realized I can name 20 useful items but these are the most useful. All these ten items may cost in the range of $ 150 (less than p 7,000) but it sure beats paying somebody $100 each time you need to hammer something.
