There are hand tools everyone should own...if you own a house that list is expanded significantly. Keep in mind this list is strictly hand tools and not power tools of any kind. If you have the tools on this list you are doing pretty good.
1.) Screwdriver set - get yourself a decent Craftsman set at Sears, get one of the larger 12+ screwdriver sets not one of the smaller 7 driver sets. You should have a good mix of flathead/Phillips and varying lengths to get multiple jobs done.
2.) Hammer - I am personally partial to the framing hammer.
3.) Set of adjustable wrenches, the three I use the most in order are the 6", 12" and 8".
4.) Socket Set - again go with one of the Craftsman sets...I can't afford Snap-On or MAC tools to be honest...way to expensive (BUT good quality). Craftsman is great for most homeowners.
5.) Pliers - I like needlenose, linemans and slip joint pliers.
6.) Channel locks - I would actually have 2 pairs of these for light plumbing and stuff.
7.) Measuring tape -
8.) Level - I have a 2 foot and a 4 foot level and I have been able to tackle most things I needed to.
9.) Cutter - a good quality razor knife that is easy to change the blade on will be worth its weight in gold.
10) Saws - have a decent wood saw, a good hacksaw and a drywall saw and you should have the basics covered.
11.) Stud finder (right here big boy!) - Kidding of course...much more reliable than knocking on the wall trying to find studs.
12.) Speed square - if you gave my grandfather one of these and a hammer he could build you a house.
14.) Tape - duct, electrical, masking and teflon please...
15.) Multimeter - maybe I am a geek but I use mine a
16.) Voltage detector - beeps and light up when near AC voltage...don't rely on JUST this but these are REALLY handy.
17.) 5-Way Tool - If you don't know what one of these is Google it and get one...VERY useful.The news come from http://www.bossgoo.com/
