Must Have Tools and Equipment for House Flippers

Must Have Tools and Equipment for House Flippers

Homeowner · Tyngsboro, MA · Member since 2015 · 17 posts · 4 votes

Hello BP,

I'm doing a personal research here. I am trying to compile a list of must-have home renovation or improvement tools and equipment for flippers. By tools, I mean physical tools, not software.

What would you consider must-have tools and equipment for flippers? If you have to do some of the tasks yourself, what will you consider your must-have tools? What tools or equipment do you find yourself often using during your flips? Are there equipment or tools that you rent?

Looking forward to your responses.

Thank you very much.

    Safety first!

    PPE - Safety glasses, gloves, masks, preferably boots, and a fire extinguisher!  Hard-hat is optional, but if you're anywhere you can bump your head or have something fall on you - get at least a baseball cap - bump hat ($18).
