Homeownership gives us a great sense of pride, joy, satisfaction—and stress. The right tools will help lower your blood pressure.
And best of all, they’ll do it without breaking the bank. Consider that the average cost of an electrician is $40 to $100 per hour plus a $75 call-out fee, while a plumber will cost you $45 to $150, with a master plumber costing $100 to 200 per hour with a flat call-out fee of $200 to $250 for the first hour. Even a handyman will cost you $50 to $80 per hour on average. Something as simple as changing out a faucet yourself can save you $120 to $250. That’s a lot of money you can put into some quality tools.
