Homeowner Must-Haves: 4 Tools That Will Keep You More Organized

A homeowner needs to have the right tools in order to get a job done. With the new concept of do-it-yourself projects, several supplies are necessary that can help in keeping things inside the home from falling apart completely.

• Sugru is a silicone-like substance which can be molded into any shape and stick to just about any surface. Wait for 24 hours until it dries up into the desired shape. Because it is waterproof, Sugru is ideal for resealing the rain gutters or re-insulating frayed wires, according to a feature from the Huddle Buy. The homeowner may also come up with a cushion bumper for a laptop or any electronics, wall hooks for the keys, grips for the faucets among others. This starter kit is available on the Sugru website for the price of $15.
• Another useful tool is Zootility's Wild Card, which has the size of a credit card, but works as a screwdriver, a knife, a ruler, a prybar and as a bottle opener. The said tool is scheduled to be available at Zootility in May for $29.95, including some tweezers, a wine and beer opener, a toothpick and a wide range of saws, knives and scissors.
• For a new homeowner, a full-on ladder is perfect to help change the pendant light bulbs, clean the roof gutters, reach things that are beyond an easy grasp and paint the ceiling corners as well. Ladders used to be a large space hog, yet nowadays, it can be collapsed into a smaller size that is fit for any homeowner with a small space. Some could be turned into a platform or be configured as a staircase. The 12-foot combination extension product from Telesteps weighs just 24 pounds, yet can take up a load up to 375 pounds. This tool is offered at $230 on Amazon.
• Every homeowner should have a first aid kit for an unavoidable share of accidents at home. The Mayo Clinic offers a list of pre-organized kit that is more cost effective, like the deluxe Family First Aid Kit from Red Cross which is available at $27, according to a feature from Adventure Medical Kits.
