Dear James: I’m moving into my first house, and it needs some work. I don’t have any tools. What type of hand tools should I buy to get my own toolbox started?—Holli W.
Dear Holli: Even if you are moving into a new house, you will find many needed projects that require basic hand tools and a few simple power tools. Buy a toolbox that is larger than you think you will need initially. As you start doing projects, there will likely be some specialty tools you'll end up buying.
