Be Your Own Way, but Still Use the Safe Tools
It is so often that people are not aware with the tools they
use when doing their home improvement. Sometimes they use wrong
tools just because they want something quick to be done. Well,
you must change that attitude. You have to understand that by
using the correct tool it can avoid you from hurting and damaging
the project you are trying to repair. Well, it sure does. Don't
think you know everything about tools before you really search
for tools information.
Let's start by some small items which mostly used to repair
your broken equipment, for example, screwdriver. Using the right
size and head of screwdriver is very important. Do you know why?
That's because if you are using the correct one, then the screw
will be easier to remove, and secondly, because if you use the
incorrect one, then you can strip the screw which will make it
impossible to remove.
There are other tools which also have to use correctly. They
are scraper, putty knife, or spreader. All should have should
have different functions, right? But, admitted that you are using
the putty knife for all three, haven't you? Hmm?you have to
understand that scrapers have a thin, flat surface to enable it
to get under the area that you want scraped off. Putty knives are
a little more flexible and they are used for the application of
wood and wall putty. Spreaders are used to spread mortar, grout,
and other applications.
So, above example is only part of it. There are more other
equipments which you must understand how to use it. Use the right
tool for your job to make it quicker and easier on yourself! It's
better for being safe, then to hurt yourself.
Beside that, being safe is very important in doing home
improvement. Take care of your working waste such as wood
shavings, sawdust, errant nails, and other debris which might
ruin your project. More worst if those waste fly you to the
emergency room in hospital. Sure you don't want that to happen,
do you?
Another stuffs which also dangerous is the flying object when
you sanding, nailing, sawing, and just about anything else. You
need safety glasses when working. If there is any chance of
debris coming at you, then you need to put on your safety
glasses. You only get one set of eyes, so protect them.
Face protection is an important part of safety also. A dust
mask will prevent you from breathing in sawdust or paint chips as
you are sanding. A respirator mask may be necessary if you are
using chemicals in a small, confined space.
Above all, remember that no home improvement project is worth
risking your life for. Use the appropriate safety gear at all
times, and be safe!
