The following tools are an ideal cornerstone for your toolbox:

• Hammer and chisel
• Screwdrivers and hex keys
• Screwdrivers in all common sizes and profiles
• Hand saw
• Files
• Measuring tools such as metre rule, angle and spirit level
• Miscellaneous pliers
• Power tools as needed

When choosing your tools, you should definitely not save on the price, because high-quality tools will not only save you money in the long run, but also your nerves. Who doesn't know the old saying: If you buy cheap, you buy twice?

So choose tools from quality brands such as Stubai, Högert or Kreg instead of throwing money out of the window unnecessarily with inferior products.

In the following, we take a look at the most important tools and show you when they come in handy.

These pliers & screw clamps belong in every toolbox

When it comes to tools, the wheat is separated from the chaff. As a DIYer, you should have the basics at home anyway, such as side cutters, combination pliers or round nose pliers. In fact, there are many other types of pliers that you can buy as needed, because no matter what kind of work you have to do on your project, you are guaranteed to find the best pliers for the job.

Here is an overview of the pliers available for DIY.

Here's an overview of the pliers that are ideal to complement your basic equipment:

• Pipe wrench for holding and gripping pipes
• Flat nose pliers for gripping or shaping
• Abisolating pliers for removing plastic sheathing from electrical wires and cable ends
• Fixing pliers or gripping pliers for holding and fixing
• Pinching pliers for pinching off wires or pulling out nails
• Punch pliers for easily punching holes in leather, plastic or sheet metal
• Riveting pliers for joining two elements

You can immediately tell what kind of handyman he is by his workshop equipment. And especially with pliers and screw clamps this is even more obvious than with other tools.

If you find a cable cutter, cable pliers, wire stripper and cable shears in a DIY workshop, you can immediately tell that this DIYer knows about electrics.

But not all tools are so specific. Screw clamps and quick clamps are part of the equipment of even the smallest workshop. They help you to glue permanently, fix securely or press temporarily. When choosing a suitable screw clamp, you should make sure that the clamp is robust and has the right clamping force.

We show you which other tools should be included in your basic DIY equipment in our Little Tool 101.

Not only worth its weight in gold for carpenters: saws, hammers, chisels, cutting tools & carving tools

Wood is one of the most popular materials for DIY enthusiasts. That's why you'll find various hammers, chisels, saws and carving tools in many hobby workshops. However, saws and hammers are not only used for woodworking. They are also used in many other applications

Whether plasterboard, metal, insulation or classic wood: the more ideally your saw is matched to your work or the material to be worked on, the more efficiently you can work with it.

This saves you time on the one hand and achieves more beautiful results on the other. The quality of the cut tells you whether a material has been processed with the right saw. The classics of hand saws are...

• The foxtail
• The hand hacksaw
• The jigsaw
• The hand-held circular saw
• The fine saw
• The chain saw

Which saw you use for which materials, in other words, which saw is most suitable for your requirements, you can find out in our four-part Saw Guide.

In addition to choosing the right saw, you should of course always make sure that your saw blade is still sharp and therefore in good working order. You can find out how to effectively sharpen or change your saw blades in our guide to saw blades.

But it doesn't have to be sharp.

But it doesn't always have to be a saw. When cutting fabric, thin plastic or paper, cutting toolssuch as cutter knives or scissors

are also suitable.

Choose quality saws from Högert and Stubai for the best results on your DIY projects.

Drills, chisels & cutters for every purpose

Another essential tool for your toolbox is high quality drill bits for your cordless screwdriver or drill. Which drill bit is right for you depends on the material you want to work with and its thickness

With the wrong drill, many a DIYer has not only destroyed their workpiece, but also damaged their tool. If you want to drill a hole in a thin metal plate, you need a different drill bit than if you are drilling into a thick piece of wood. There are also special drills for more unusual materials, such as concrete or stone.

So choosing the right drill for your workpiece is essential. It is not uncommon to find a lot of different drill bits in a well-equipped hobby workshop alongside high-quality power tools.

But drills are not the only accessories for the drill. In a good workshop, you will also find hole saws, core drills, Forstner drills or other milling cutters.

All kinds of drill bits are available.

Whether sanding, drilling, pressing or painting: Power tools make one's life easier

While most people immediately think of the drill when they hear the term power tool. In fact, however, power tools exist for a wide variety of applications. Each one makes your hobby a little bit easier. It's the same with gas tools and air tools.

If you're into automotive bonding, you'll probably find a heat gun, a paint gun, or a tyre inflator in your workshop. If you like to tinker with your kids, there's probably a hot glue gun in your family. And if you like tinkering with electronics, a good soldering iron is of course indispensable. To ensure that all these power tools can be used flexibly, you should also have a sturdy cable drum.

Measurement technology: It's better to measure twice than to forget once

Whatever your favourite hobby, there is one essential step in most projects: thorough measuring. Every do-it-yourselfer has had the same experience at one time or another: You've measured supposedly well, but for some reason it doesn't fit in the end.

Because this is more than annoying, most do-it-yourselfers swear not to repeat this experience and from then on only act according to the motto better to measure twice than to forget once. To make measuring particularly quick yet thorough, measuring technology has a range of tools to make your life easier.

Whether analogue tools such as welding angles, spirit levels, calipers and the classic folding rule or digital line finders or rangefinders - you will find the right tool for measuring at Heimwerkertools.

Make your life easier with assembly aids

Correct measurements are also essential when building furniture - but that's exactly where they are often the most complicated. For many measuring tasks, however, you can make your life easier with so-called assembly aids. They make measuring pot hinges and the like child's play.

In the DIY tools range you will find many practical assembly aids and carrying aids such as marking templates and drilling jigs for a wide variety of purposes.

With the right automotive tools, you save money

For experienced do-it-yourselfers, there is no reason to drive to a car repair shop for the semi-annual tyre change or the regular oil change. Because that not only wastes time, but also a lot of money. With the high-quality car tools from Heimwerkertools, this is no longer necessary.

From sturdy Phillips spanners to practical oil filter spanner sets and hydraulic jacks, you'll find plenty of what you need for reliable car maintenance in our range of automotive tools.

It is also essential to have the right car accessories with you when you go on holiday with your motorhome or for Van Life. This way you can help yourself quickly in the event of a breakdown.

Tip: If you have a car, you can take it with you.

High-quality screwdrivers and sturdy fasteners: the essentials in your toolbox

Ratchets, screwdrivers, Allen keys and other screwing toolsare undoubtedly part of the basic equipment of every toolbox, because without screwing tools, hardly any project can be implemented.

Here, too, you should pay attention to high quality, because nothing is more annoying than a screwdriver that gives up the ghost during a project. With high-quality tools from renowned manufacturers such as Stubai or Högert, you no longer have to worry about this.

To make sure that your screwdrivers are of high quality.

To ensure that your screw connections hold rock solid, it is important to choose the right fixing material. Whether it's gate screws, hanger bolts, worm screws or flat-head screws - at Heimwerkertools you'll find a huge selection of screws, dowels and cover plates for all applications.

Timber & angle connectors - Everything for timber construction

Wood and angle connectors are very often needed when you work with wood. For example, if you are building your own table, carpentering a loft bed for your children, or assembling a chair, you will most likely make use of a wooden connector.

They are a very simple and, depending on the type of wood connector, resilient way to join two pieces of wood together.

Tool kits, workshop lighting and other workshop equipment

For a well-equipped workplace, you need more than just the right tools. Even the highest-quality and widest-ranging tool sets are no use if your workshop equipment leaves something to be desired.

A first-class workshop starts with the workshop equipment. Vices, magnetic holders and trays, organisers and toolboxes make every DIYer's life easier

Of course, you shouldn't neglect the most basic element of an optimal workspace: Without the right workshop lightingyou're screwed on your next project.

Wisely arranged tool holders and wall hooks not only create space in the basement, but also give each of your tools its own place. This way you always have your most common tools such as hammers, axes and saws ready to hand on the wall and can get started immediately at any time. A comfort you won't want to do without once you've experienced it?

When the going gets tough: crowbar and nail puller

The breaking iron, also often called a crowbar, is a tool you don't necessarily find in every workshop. But especially if you often have to deal with heavy objects - such as sculptures or heavy boxes - it might be worth your while to buy a crowbar. For stonemasons in particular, crowbars have become an indispensable part of the workplace.

How does the crowbar work? In principle, a crowbar is just a bar of metal that has two flat, differently shaped ends. These ends are ideal for using leverage to move, lift, or - as in the case of well-sealed boxes - prise open even heavy objects.

In addition to pry bars, you will also find nail pullers in the DIY tools range to help you remove wedged or bent nails.

Cooking accessories and barbecue accessories for culinary experiences

One thing almost all do-it-yourselfers have in common: they love grilling. For good reason, because what could be better than sitting together on a balmy summer evening with a cool beer or a good glass of wine and enjoying the delicacies from the grill

If you like to grill or cook, you know how important it is to have the right barbecue or cooking accessories - first and foremost, of course, the right knife. To ensure that you always have the ideal tool for cooking and barbecuing, Heimwerkertools offers you high-quality knives for every purpose.
