This 5 minute Habitat for Humanity video shows the various tools used by the Denver affiliate when performing weekly deconstruction projects on homes scheduled for demolition or remodeling. Some of the tools are absolutely vital and are used on every job. Others are needed less frequently.
Our most important tools are: three cordless drills with chargers and spare batteries, 5 or 6 flat bars (pry bars), 5 or 6 hammers, (especially useful are the 2 lb. hammers!), a small step ladder, screwdrivers, hacksaw, channel locks, vice grips, stiff putty knife (for cutting through silicone caulk under sinks/toilets), wire cutters and a electric “Sawzall” with a selection of blades and extra extension cords.
But there are many other tools which we have available and use somewhat less frequently. Here’s a complete list:
