(NU) - When it comes to ba- sic home maintenance, many homeowners would rather pull out a toolbox than pay a repair- man to fix up little dings. For oth- ers, using anything more compli- cated than a hammer and nail seems out of their league. Part of the problem? Finding the right tools is crucial to a suc- cessful home repair, and first- time DIYers don’t always know what tools they need for a partic- ular job. Even if DIYers figure out what tools they will need, they might be intimidated by the amount of shopping that needs to be done. Luckily, some companies are simplifying the process of tool buying for new and experienced DIYers. For example, Campbell Hausfeld, a tool manufacturer, has created four air-powered home project kits: a Home Décor Kit, a Home Maintenance Kit and two Home Improvement Project Kits. All four Campbell Hausfeld kits contain a bag for tool storage and an air compressor that deliv- ers up to 125 psi and an instruc- tional DVD. The Home Décor Kit is de- signed for projects like wood crafts, fabric crafts, wall painting, ceramic painting, upholstery, wall art, crafts and window treatments. The Home Maintenance kit will help homeowners keep their homes in tip-top shape. It in- cludes a one-gallon air compres- sor, a fastening kit, a caulking gun and drain cleaner kits. Home- owners looking to perform inte- rior sealing, exterior sealing, dri- veway maintenance repair, roof maintenance, landscape mainte- nance, drain cleaning or clearing and stapling will find everything they need to get the job done. The Home Improvement Pro- ject Kit comes in two variations -- one includes a one-gallon air compressor, and the other in- cludes a two-gallon air compres- sor. Both include a fastening kit. The two-gallon compressor up- grade allows DIYers to tackle household projects that require brad nailing, stapling or air brush- ing. However, while one kit comes with a caulking gun, the other contains an inflation kit. The kit with the caulking gun will aid in projects like interior sealing, exterior sealing, roofing, landscape, molding, building cus- tom furniture, creating outdoor accents and installing flooring. The model with the inflation kit is ideal for molding, building cus- tom furniture, creating outdoor accents and performing con- struction.
