Alright guys, time for a primer
I've noticed a few threads here lately from people wanting info on how to repair something at home. If you have a wife/live-in then you need to be able to . Scratch that. If you no longer live with your parents you really should have some basic tools.
A few screwdrivers, wrenches, a small socket set, pliers, hammer and a multimeter will save you a bunch of money and headaches over time. You could spend $50 and put together these basics.

I know doing your own repairs is not always practical but when you can it's usually worth the time and effort. Not only will you save some bucks and be able to give out the Time Taylor yell/growl (WTH is that noise he makes anyways) but chicks dig guys with tool boxes. Oh yea, and motorcycles.

Curious to know how many planeteers have there own tools (even the basics) and how many don't.

Besides, it's the offseason. What else are we going to talk about.

Heh full set of auto tools basically most everything short of an actual lift. For home repair issues my tools generally come from there, but I have a few specific items. Since I rent not a big reason to have a full set of household tools. When I eventually buy a place I will out fit the rest of my gear and bring in all of my grandfather's old welding tools. Working on your own stuff is therapeutic. Great stress reliever.

Im installing a drainage pipe along the side of my home. Dig 2-3 feet down.
Install a pipe. (6 ten foot pipes) Then dump rocks over it to help with drainage.

I'm 2/3rds through it.
Worked on it 8 hours today. Im so exhausted. Wake up early and finish it up tomorrow.

Plus im also re-doing the pipes for my sump pump, but thats easy.

Vacation, gotta love it.

Yea but as long as you keep all the doors and windows closed and minimize any potential ventilation you can have one hell of a time doing it!

I've got way too many tools actually. A roll around tool box overfilled with hand tools, basic power tools, lawn and yard tools. I've noticed lately that I can't seem to find a good reason not to repair something and just replace it. Actually, now that I think about it that hasn't been just recently. Maybe I'm just a tightwad.

The thing is with tools is that if you ARE a do-it-yourselfer you will slowly but surely accumulate MORE and MORE tools as you do more and more different types of projects. Besides that if a young newly married guy who has not lived on his own for long and went out and tried to buy all the tools I have in my garage at ONE time it would cost a small fortune. I was that guy once, I had just very basic tools but I just bought what I could when I could and now I have pretty good collection. Nothing too fancy but gets the jobs done.

Exactly.

You'll also accumulate more knowledge about repairs. Makes it alot easier to tell when you can fix something and when to just call the repairman right off the bat.
