Level Nobody likes crooked shelves or picture frames! A small torpedo level or a standard 24-inch level will help you ensure everything is straight and level during your DIY projects.
Pliers A good set of pliers will come in handy for gripping, bending, or cutting wires and other materials. Needle-nose pliers and slip-joint pliers are two essential types to have in your toolbox.
