The mysterious carpenter’s pouch contains tools needed to install cabinet, install locks or complete a variety of other tasks around the house. While you can fill a carpenter’s pouch with a variety of helpful tools, there are several tools every carpenter’s pouch would be incomplete without.
A hammer is a carpenter’s pouch must have. Most carpenter’s prefer to use a framing hammer instead of a claw or curving hammer. A carpenter’s pouch should also contain a tape measure. Look for a tape measure that is sturdy and has a lock function. While a carpenter’s is hammering and measuring, he or she will also need a small, wooden pencil. There should also be a torpedo level in any carpenter’s pouch. A torpedo level can be used to determine the true level of things like a wall stud.
Be sure to purchase quality tools when you are putting together a carpenter’s pouch. Buy tools from brands you trust and feel free to ask a sales associate for advice if you are unsure which tools to purchase.
