With most of the country now on lockdown, we’ll be spending more time at home than ever before. With more free time on your hands, it’s now the perfect time to start on those DIY jobs that you’ve been putting off for ages – especially whilst the sun is shining! Here are our top 5 DIY tools that every household should have – for both DIY experts and novices alike!

1.Drill

Perhaps the most important tool of all… a drill! A good quality, sturdy and safe drill will help you to do all sorts of DIY jobs, from putting together furniture, hanging pictures or fixing broken chairs and tables – a drill can do it all! We recommend opting for one with built-in safety features such as a torch for when you’re drilling in the dark, and a secure grip to ensure that you don’t slip and hurt yourself whilst you’re making a masterpiece!

This MYLEK drill has everything that you need for all of your home improvements. It has 151 accessories (perfect for every job you have) and it even comes with a handy carry case so you can work your way around your home and fix everything in sight!

2. Tape Measure

Without a tape measure, you’re risking a lot of your DIY jobs looking slightly uneven – especially when it comes to hanging pictures or building furniture. A tape measure is great for finding the centre of a wall, measuring the length of wood or plastic before you cut it, and even for helping you drawer straight lines! It’s super simple and definitely one of the basics, but one that you’ll be lost without.

3. Paint Sprayer

Looking to paint your garden fence or furniture but the thought of spending houses with a paintbrush puts you off, then this is exactly what you need! A paint sprayer makes painting easy and fast so you can have more time relaxing in your garden admiring your freshly painted fence, and less time with a paintbrush in hand trying to cover every little section.

This MYLEK paint sprayer is super easy to use, easy to clean and even has 3 adjustable spray patterns, ideal for spraying ornate furniture or trellises. It provides even coverage and can be used with gloss, satin, primers, stainers, varnish, and wood oils.

4. Multi-Tool Kit

A multi-tool kit does what it says on the tin – it gives you several tools in one! This is super handy for those just looking into DIY and don’t want to be spending a small fortune on separate tools to fill up your toolbox.

Our MYLEK multitool kit comes with everything you need to do the job at hand, whether you’re a novice or a tradesman. It can be used on wood, paintwork, or plastic to cut, scrape, sand, and detail easily. You can even use it to cut non-ferrous metals like copper or to remove grout. This means that you can use it in every room of your home to upcycle furniture, repair damage or even transform an outdated piece in your home with the sanding option – either way, this MLEK multi-tool kit is easy and safe to use and with a 48 piece accessory kit, it offers great value for money too!

5. Spirit Level

Just like a tape measure, many DIY jobs can go terribly wrong without one of these… trust us. Say goodbye to wonky paintings and uneven shelves with this handy little gadget. It will make your life so much easier when it comes to finding a perfectly straight line, which is one of the hardest things to do when you have a hammer and a nail in hand!

With all of these tools, you’ll be an expert in all things home improvement. You’ll be able to take every job head-on and complete it just like a professional – saving you time and money, whilst also learning new skills!
