Hey DIY Project Owners , I'm Steve
Must Own Tools© is a passion project for me, and a team of Do It Yourself fix-it fans who are committed to passing along our knowledge and resources to help viewers complete their in-home DIY projects.
We searched for online resources to help us learn about tools, and determine where to buy them. After extensive research we couldn't find a resource we liked, so we are building one.
The Must Own Tools team is not made up of pro's. We respect the skill and work the trades offer customers and by no means are we trying to take anything away from the professionals. We believe we are a complement to the pros!
The number one question we get asked, Do users pay for this service? The answer is NO, we are an affiliate website, which means manufacturers may pay us a small commission.
NOTE: not all of the tools we research and recommend pay a commission, our goal is to recommend the right tool to get the job done right!!
We are about to embark on a DIY journey together.
OUR GOAL: To help you learn about DIY repairs tools, tips on how to use them and where to purchase them, so you can safely and affordably complete DIY projects.
OUR MISSION:
1. Give Clear, NO-BULL Home Repair and Tool Advice so homeowners can decide what if they are prepared to take on a DIY project.
2. Put SAFETY FIRST - Always, because even basic hand tools can cause injuries if you don't know how to use them correctly.
3. Repair, Repurpose or Recycle:Don't just throw away that excess piece of material or old tool. Repair it, Repurpose it and as a last resort, recycle.
