A small tool kit is useful for simple assembly and maintenance tasks when used according to instructions.
Choose for common tasks
Keep suitable measuring tools, hand tools and protective equipment, and store them safely. Read the product instructions and use the right tool for the job. Avoid heavy lifting or work at height beyond your capability.
Know when to stop
Do not remove electrical switch plates, open appliances or attempt wiring repairs. Electrical wiring work in NSW requires the appropriate licence or certificate, and plumbing and gas work also have licensing requirements. Structural or suspected asbestos work needs specialist advice. A useful tool kit does not make every repair a household task.
