For example, I think I’ll need a ladder. I’m looking for any suggestions from tools to security cameras, or whatever else you can think of. What should every new home owner consider getting?
Edit: in Canada btw, somewhere that gets a lot of snow in the winter
When getting tools, I always say people should start with the cheap shit. Go to Harbor Freight and get the biggest, cheapest “this has everything you’ll ever need” kit available. Chances are very good that you’ll never actually use most of the kit, but you’ll have it for emergencies.
Then when things break, replace them with the nice stuff. You don’t need to break the bank by getting the nice stuff right away. If shit breaks, it’s because you actually used it. So you know you’ll probably use it again in the future, and should get the nicer stuff to replace it.
Protip
When they start getting battery powered tools, pick a brand and stick with it so that after a few batteries, you can buy the tool only and save some $.
That said, I went with Hercules (harbor freight) for everything I keep in my van since it’s cheaper than big box brands and is good enough.
