With the right tool guide, you can do almost anything

Cooks read cookbooks, so why shouldn’t Do-it-yourselfers peruse a book about tools?

In “Tools: A Tool by Tool Guide to Choosing and Using 150 Home Essentials,” author Steve Dodds shows you the tools, tells you what they are used for and how to use them safely, and even lets you know where you can find them.

He covers the basics for every home or apartment took kit with high-quality photographs, and gives clear instructions for their use.

So, if you’ve been wondering about the difference in, say, a plug cutter and a rotating head punch, why not pour a cup of coffee and sit down with a copy. That way, when you cook up your next home improvement project, you’ll know which ingredients you’ll need.
