These tools are indispensible for simply tightening a loose nut or bolt or for more complex DIY projects. A combination spanner set that is fitted with an open spanner on one end and a closed socket or ring spanner on the other end will prove to be very useful. Much like drill bit sets, these hardware products are also often sold in a set for safekeeping and easy access.

A good set of hand tools such as chisels will also come in handy with woodwork projects. Clamps are another essential hardware product, especially for woodwork as they are necessary to keep the materials in place when machining or when gluing two pieces together.
