5 Things Every Practical Homeowner Should Have

Here's a list of five items every practical homeowner should have in their toolbox.

1. WD-40 - this could quite possibly be the most practical product on the planet. The only thing this spray oil will not unstick is your teenager's behind from the couch!
   
   
2. Caulk - not a pro? That's why it's great to load up on this stuff. Caulk will not only protect your home against moisture, it may even protect your handiwork from some criticism. Why? Well, caulk is great for filling cracks, mis-cut boards, and the like.
   
   
3. Spackle - and be sure to have plenty of it. Spackle makes it easy to patch things up with minimal fuss. If you're hanging a picture or mirror, chances are you might not get it right the first time. Then, it's spackle to the rescue!
   
   
4. Plumbing Kit - you never know when you'll have a leaky sink or drippy pipe. Your plumbing kit should include: pipe tape, pipe wrench, and a bucket.
   
   
5. Electrical Kit - if you have a plumbing kit, you must have an electrical kit! Yours should include: wire snips, wire nuts, and electrical tape.
