Verizon SuperPages.com Home Improvement Guide Features Tool Kit Selection From Super Handyman Al Carrell
Local Search Site, Home Improvement Expert, Tell What Hand Tools and Power
Tools You Need in Your Tool Box for Most Do-It-Yourself Home Fix-It Projects
DALLAS, April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon SuperPages.com and Super Handyman
Al Carrell offer help in choosing hand tools and power tools in the fifth of
six do-it-yourself home improvement project guides available on Verizon
SuperPages.com ( http://www.superpages.com/release ), a leading local search
site.
Carrell says that before you tackle home improvement or remodeling
projects, it's important to make sure you have the right tools for the job at
hand. It's also important to have a basic tool kit so you're prepared for
"everyday disasters" that might happen. Even people who live in apartments
should have a tool kit for such jobs as assembling toys on Christmas Eve!
Carrell recommends a basic tool kit including hammer, hand saw,
screwdrivers, pliers, level, tape measure, adjustable wrench, c-clamps,
stapler, utility knife, flashlight and toilet plunger -- all stored in a
sturdy tool box. If you are going to own just one power tool, he suggests a
three-eighths-inch, battery-powered electric drill. For supplies, you'll need
sandpaper, glue, and an assortment of nuts and bolts, nails, screws and duct
tape.
Spring is a great time to find tools on sale at your favorite local
hardware store or home center ( http://www.superpages.com/homeimprove ).
The Super Handyman says to look for good quality, brand-name tools.
They'll perform better, last longer and may come with a lifetime replacement
warranty. Your basic set of tools does not have to cost a lot of money, but
many times the difference in price between a good tool and a cheap one is a
matter of pennies. And there are a lot of so-called "bargains" that won't even
last through the first job.
He has a complete list, with specifications, on Verizon SuperPages.com
( http://www.superpages.com/release ). The tools can be bought for less than
$175, full retail price, at national chain stores.
Carrell, a nationally known expert on home improvement and repair
including wood and furniture refinishing, served for eight years as spokesman
for The Home Depot. He advises do-it-yourself furniture refinishers to work
outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
In addition to refinishing furniture, other topics covered in the six-week
do-it-yourself series on Verizon SuperPages.com include plumbing, energy
saving, painting, furniture refinishing and patio deck building.
Carrell's newspaper column, "The Super Handyman," appears in about 100
cities including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Phoenix,
Tucson, Orlando, Fort Wayne, St. Louis and Nashville. He also has a weekly
radio show in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
