Klevaro's household and hobby collection covers 200+ tools for everyday home repairs and creative projects. From basic tool kits and picture-hanging sets to precision craft tools, we stock the full general tools range alongside trusted craft brands. Whether you are setting up a first-home tin, equipping a dedicated craft bench, or refreshing kit that has seen a few flat-packs too many, this collection covers the day-to-day work most UK households actually do. Browse alongside our hand tools and hobby tools ranges for more specialist options.
Most UK households get by with a compact tool kit: a claw hammer, a set of screwdrivers (slotted and Phillips heads, in two or three sizes), pliers, an adjustable spanner, a tape measure and a spirit level. Add a Stanley knife, a small torch and a stud detector and you are equipped for picture-hanging, flat-pack assembly, basic plumbing tightening and minor electrical work. Heavier projects (decorating a room, fitting shelves, hanging a heavy mirror) benefit from a cordless drill, a sanding block and a workbench, but the core kit handles 80% of jobs without any extras. A small electrical tester is worth adding too; checking a socket is dead before unscrewing it costs nothing and prevents the worst surprises.
Precision matters far more than brawn for hobby work. Model-makers, jewellery hobbyists and leatherworkers reach for fine-tip pliers, small craft knives, jeweller's screwdrivers and a magnifier with a built-in light. Fabric-craft and beading projects need sharp small scissors, embroidery snips and a self-healing cutting mat that takes punishment without going dull. Soldering for electronics calls for a temperature-controlled iron, fine solder and a fume extractor (or at least good ventilation near an open window). Keep these tools separate from the household tin; cross-contamination of glue, oil or grit ruins fine craft work, and a Stanley blade designed for boxes is wrong for cutting fabric or vinyl. A dedicated craft drawer or stackable case (with internal dividers) keeps everything visible and protects fine edges from each other.
For occasional home use, a mid-budget brand offers strong value: solid steel, comfortable grips and a few-year working life. Pay more only for tools that see weekly use (a daily screwdriver, a regular cordless drill) where ergonomics and battery life pay back the cost. For hobby kit, evaluate jaw alignment, spring return and cutting-edge crispness rather than brand name. A £15 pair of well-aligned precision pliers will outwork a £40 set with sloppy jaws every single time. Avoid the trap of buying a 200-piece tool kit that contains 150 tools you will never touch; a focused 50-piece kit is almost always the smarter buy. If you are unsure where to start, work backwards from the next two or three jobs on your list and buy the tools those projects need; the rest can wait until they are genuinely required.
