17 Things You Need To Maintain Your Home
About this video
McGoff presents 17 household items he recommends every homeowner or renter should own to maintain their living space and handle common tasks. He covers tools like drills and hammers, cleaning and organizational supplies, and other practical items that McGoff argues make home maintenance easier and more efficient.
Key takeaways
- McGoff recommends investing in quality cordless power tools from a consistent ecosystem like Milwaukee or Ryobi so batteries and accessories are interchangeable across devices
- McGoff argues that organizing small parts and supplies—batteries, light bulbs, bag clips, extra paint—prevents frustration when you need them and makes quick repairs straightforward
- McGoff suggests choosing tools strategically for maneuverability and versatility, such as smaller hammers, needle-nose pliers, and adjustable wrenches, rather than heavy-duty versions for most household tasks
