Essential Carpentry Tools

Posted in

The carpentry tools that will be used to build most of the projects listed below.  In fact, these same tools can be used to build a house! Some of the best brand of tools are: Harbor Freight tools, Delta tools, Sears tools, Milwaukee tools, Dewalt, Stanley, Makita, and  Rockwell. 

The complete list of essential tools is also provided below:

Carpentry Hand Tools

  • Hammer
  • Tape Measure
  • Chalk Line
  • Carpenter's Pencil
  • Utility Knife
  • Tin Snips
  • Nail Puller
  • Speed Square
  • Framing Square
  • Levels
  • Wood Chisel (1 inch)

Essential Power Tools:

  • Circular Saw
  • Drill (3/8" to 1/2" chuck)
  • Reciprocating Saw
  • Extension Cords

Non-essential (but nice to have) Tools:

  • Air Compressor
  • Nail Guns (framing and decking)
  • Air Hoses
One can frame the structure of an entire house with the above mentioned tools. However, if you are planning to add wood siding, window and door trim, and cornice, you should
also add:
  • Compound Miter Saw
  • Table Saw
  • Nail Gun (exterior finish nailer)
The tools mentioned so far should be sufficient to completely dry-in a residential structure.
