The tools I actually use during my renovation

This was the first tool I ever bought. Amazing for the rip out, hasn't been used much with more intricate stuff but still comes in handy sometimes.

A good hammer is always going to be needed when renovating, not much more has to be said really.

A Stanley knife, with sharp blades, is worth its weight in gold. From opening packages to cutting materials, you're gonna need one all the time.

I wasted so much time measuring with a tape measure when I could've just been using a laser measurer. Easily one of the purchases that has saved me the most time since I bought it.

A laser measurer speeds up the bigger measurements, but sometimes an old fashioned tape is still needed. 2m is fine for a lot of things, 5m is better, 8m is probably overkill for the average renovator.

Unbelievably good for cutting different things from flooring, to architraves that aren't a straight cut and had to be scribed due to wonky walls.

One of those products I've bought and haven't had to use much of, but still good for when I needed it during tiling. Will definitely come in handy during future projects too.

Another product I was kindly gifted near the start of the renovation that I still use to this day. So efficient when it comes to cutting things straight or at 45 degree angles when doing things like skirting & architraves.
