Basic Tools/Devices Every Homeowner/Renter Needs

What do you need to suck out of your carpet that a normal vacuum wouldn't work?

the normal vacuum requires more maintenance imo... i had to take the head apart every few months and cut hair from the roller for one.. dog and the ole lady with her long ass hair.....

home vacs always seem to clog quicker and need more cleaning internally.. that dyson or whatever was 500 bucks and its worth about 20 bucks if you dont keep on top of it.. which the fucking wife doesn't do.. if you dont keep the internals and filters spotless... the performance dips a lot imo.. and this leads to subpar cleaning

the shop vac is plug and play.... it is more work using a shop vac when vacuuming.. but it cleans mo better imo...

plus we have more tile n fake wood than carpet..

if i ever add another shopvac to the line.. itll be a backpack version... so i can pretend im a ghostbuster or sumin.. may need to mod the cord though.. they aint long enough... or just use an extension cord..

A pair of pliers to wrench the stick out of your ass. A poor substitute for an actual hairshirt, or cilice.

Lol TBD. You're basic homeowner isn't building furniture or doing woodwork.

If they want fine furniture they will:)

Store bought is shit

Ductape, WD40, and a Sledgehammer.

Ductape for when it moves but shouldn't.

WD40 for when it doesn't move and should.

Sledgehammer to fix things permanently before you go out and buy a new one.

*pats ggphat on the head* rough day huh?

actually been a great day...been prepping for Florence and have the peace of mind that I am man enough to not have to ask a message board what tools are needed for my home and that I don't need to put a messageboard poster on ignore and feel the need to announce it to everyone.

Slightly disagree here. No matter where I've taught, some of these dudes graduating and going off in the world wouldn't know a monkey wrench from a monkey's ass. At least with doing this online (though there are probably better places to look than here) it saves the person some real embarrassment because of the anonymity.

The dude is going to have to boat to work for the next two months. Maybe the sarcastic 'Aw' isn't needed for the trouble your fellow man is going to experience in the coming days.
