1.
A basic drill with a 10-piece bit set to meet your needs. I bought this set for assembling furniture, hanging frames, and other small projects when I got my first apartment, and it’s still going strong! And reviewers swear by the 109-piece drill and screwdriver set for bigger home improvement projects.
3.
An overhead garage storage rack to store the tools you already have and make room for more! Dishing out money for a storage unit? No thanks.
4.
Expertly curated wall paint that just may have you painting your whole house yourself instead of paying someone else to do it! Reviewers say it is easy to use and has minimal smell compared to other brands — that’s a win-win if you ask me.
5.
A power washer so you can make your wooden fence look like new, or save tons of money on car washes (when paired with a foam cannon).

A large tile stencil that’ll stay in place and help you paint over old tiles in your bathroom or home, so you don’t have to dish out big bucks for brand new tile.
7.
And a pack of gorgeous peel and stick mosaic tiles to give your space ~fancy~ vibes with minimal effort.
