I’m curious what you all consider your must-have tools for residential jobs. For me, my trusty multi-tool is essential for most tasks, especially when I have to make quick adjustments or repairs. It’s amazing how often it comes in handy, especially to ensure customers feel secure in their homes right after I finish up.
Absolutely agree that a multi-tool is invaluable for quick adjustments and repairs. I once did a lock change where needing to tighten screws on the spot made a huge difference in customer satisfaction. One thing I also keep handy is a small flashlight; you never know when you’ll be working in a dimly lit area.
I totally get that about multi-tools! I’ve found that a good pair of pliers can be just as essential, especially when you’re working with older locks that can be a bit stubborn. I remember a job where adjusting the tension on a latch made all the difference in getting it to work smoothly.
, I totally get that! I had a similar ordeal with a spectrophotometer last month — it wouldn’t cooperate until I gave it a thorough clean… It’s funny how these tools can be so dramatic.
