What Tools Are Best For Moving

06/17/2016

When moving items from an apartment or building you require boxes or containers to hold them- these are tools for packing. However, there are other supplies that may be necessary to assist in packing and unpacking.

Furniture units cannot be moved unless they are disassembled; this also applies to components that come as a unit. Therefore, the toolbox is required. Inside the tool box you will get items like:

  • 2 Drills (they can be obtained from Walmart for about $30) and drill bits
  • Gorilla glue
  • Wrenches
  • Bolts and screws
  • L-wrenches (both metric) and drill bits.
  • Hammer and nails
  • Utility knives

The gorilla glue is a reliable product when it comes to fixing broken furniture. The glue is 100% waterproof, so it is safe to for any outdoor and indoor work. Due to its versatile nature, it can be used for material such as wood, metal, stone, glass, ceramic, foam and much more. Well, it is a quality component of the toolbox because it is not affected by hot and cold temperatures. It is incredibly Strong and highly durable.

Most of the furniture being moved contain fasteners such as nuts which need to be loosened during assembly. There are different tools which can be used to open these items which include pliers. It is also known as a spanner. The wrenches come in different types and sizes to prevent cases of damaged fasteners or injuries due to slippage.

Quality wrenches do last longer and eventually save money. The adjustable wrench can help reduce the bulk of the tool box since it can be adjusted to accommodate different nut sizes. The L-wrenches come in handy when one needs to tighten up screws. You can also fasten screws using screwdrivers. The L-wrenches are available in a wide range of lengths and tip. They are made for precision since they have an optimal fit between tool and fastener.

The toolbox has to have enough Bolts and screws for the furniture if some of the parts are to be replaced. The original fasteners might bend or get damaged in the moving process. Sometimes the bolts and screws fall off during transportation, one requires extra bolts and screws to accommodate such inconveniences.

These fasteners are available in different sizes and style. Nuts and washers may be added in the tool box since the bolts require extra grip. You might also need a harmer-comes with a different head style and material) and some nails to fasten some furniture parts. In addition, you might find it handy when you cut or scrub items using a utility knife.

The drills come in pairs because machines can be faulty at times, so a backup equipment will cover for that problem. The drill is required to make holes that will accommodate fasteners such as bolts and screws. A variety of drill bits is available depending on the screw that is to be used during the repair process.

It is now clear that we use the basic stuff which is available in any hardware near you.
