The Fastener First Aid Kit for Your Home.  Here is a tip:  You always want to have an assortment of fasteners on hand for your DIY home improvement projects.  It can be troublesome to have to run to the store to purchase the correct fastener every time you want to hang a picture, or a towel rack, or a shelf, or any other item in your home, when you realize you don’t have the correct fastener for the job.  

A great start on making sure you always have the right fastener available is to purchase an assortment of fasteners that includes screws, nails, hooks and the like.  We especially like the sets that include a wide variety of fasteners. Think of it as a “first aid kit” for your home. These assortments are quite inexpensive, and can save you several trips to the store to purchase individual fasteners.  In addition, they usually come “pre-organized” in trays with different compartments, so you can always find exactly what you need quickly.  These handy kits also make a fantastic housewarming gift for the new homeowner, or a stocking stuffer around the holidays for the DIY enthusiast in your life!
