There are many people who are always thinking about making a change or reform in their home. They have not finished one when they are already thinking about the next. In most cases this type of reform can be a good investment if we have all the necessary materials and the labor required for each task. Now, if we are the ones who put in the labor, then we can save a lot of money. If we also have the necessary tools, we can also save a lot of time.
If you are a handyman who likes to always be doing renovations at home or you are starting to take your first steps, it is best that you are always equipped with the appropriate tools or devices to facilitate your work . Some are quite essential regardless of what we are going to do, such as a meter or a level. Of course, depending on the measurements that we have to take, the best option may not be to do it with the typical tape measure or level of walking at home.
This is only an example, since there are many and very diverse devices or tools that we may need at all times. Technology has also reached many of them with the firm objective of helping us perform certain tasks more quickly and easily, as with all those that we show you in the following selection.
Household tools or appliances
Bosch laser meter
A highly accurate, multi-functional laser meter. It allows you to measure lengths, heights, surfaces or even perform volume calculations. It has a memory to save the last ten measurements made so that we can consult them at any time later. It has a measuring range of up to 40 meters and has a robust design resistant to shocks or drops.
Laser level
There are many things that we need to be level if we do not want them to be crooked and then there is no remedy. This model is a laser level with a distance of up to 30 meters that has a rechargeable battery that offers up to 20 hours of use. Brighter, wide angle, IP54 certified green crossover laser. It incorporates a magnetic support that can be mounted on metal surfaces for a better grip. It also allows 360 degree rotation projecting the laser line in any position.
Cable and pipe locator
This device can be very useful when we need to make holes or holes in walls and floors, since it allows us to detect cables, pipes, metal or even wood inside the walls. In this way, we will avoid breaking cables and pipes or trying to pierce an area with metal or wood. Through a screen it will show us the necessary information to know if we can make a hole in that area of the wall or not.
Gas leak detector
If we use boilers or other gas appliances at home, having a detector like this can help us find leakage problems. It is a high precision heating diode sensor capable of detecting any gas leak. It has four buttons for operation and an LED screen where you can see if there is a leak or not.
Bosch infrared thermometer
This infrared thermometer from Bosch is a very useful tool when we need to check thermal bridges, heating and ventilation systems or even to detect areas of humidity and hidden mold. It is capable of taking temperatures between -40 and 1,000 degrees and can be used both outdoors and indoors. It has the ability to measure the temperature or relative humidity in a given room.
IR thermal camera
This infrared thermal camera allows you to see and detect very subtle temperature differences to find certain patterns of heat and cold or energy losses. In this way, it is also possible to detect structural defects, pipe jams and other problems that are not easy to detect at first glance. Using infrared thermography is a safe and non-invasive way to view hot and cold patterns and to measure temperature very reliably.
Water Pump
If at any time we need to empty the dirty water from somewhere or some part of our house has been flooded, having a pump like this will be of great help. It has a water level detector, hose connection and ECO Power function, which allows to extract higher flow with less electricity consumption.
Inspection Camera
Endoscope or inspection camera that allows us to go as far as the human eye cannot. It has a semi-rigid cable to carry the camera through pipes and other places that we need to inspect. The probe is 8 mm in diameter, it does not require us to use our mobile to connect the WiFi, it has a 4.3-inch LCD screen and is waterproof with IP67 certificate.
Laser distance meter
If we are looking for a cheaper laser meter than the one we have shown at the beginning of this list, this one from the RockSeed brand is a great alternative. It has a range of up to 50 meters, has a four-line LCD screen to show the measurement result, even in different measurement units, and is highly accurate.
Cable tester
If the fault we have is electrical and we suspect that the problem may be because the installation cables are very old or may be damaged, then this device will be of great help. It is a cable tester or tracer capable of detecting faults, shorts, or open circuits. It can also be used to trace telephone lines, LAN cables, etc.
