My name is Darryl Parker: weekend warrior, DIY master, and HVAC technician.
Over the years, I’ve used just about everything there is to help with odd jobs or remodeling the fixer-upper I purchased back in 2013. It taught me a lot of things
One of the biggest annoyances during demolition and remodeling is finding studs, and being 100% certain that you know where they are.
A while ago, stud finders were so-so when it came to their reliability. One big focus on Home Tools Planet is finding the right stud finders for every job, and every stud material.
But it’s more than just that. While I wouldn’t want to tally up every hour that I spent using the wrong grade or brand of tool for a specific job, suffice to say that it’s a lot.
I made Home Tools Planet to share my knowledge with you, save you some time, and save you money so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I made.
Throughout this little project of mine, I’ll make recommendations based on tools I’ve used (and cautionary tales about the “other” ones that I’ve used), and do my best to direct you towards a better, stronger tool kit that will tackle any job you face it with, all while keeping the budget in mind.
I’m a working father, an Oklahoma man who made his summer money from roofing as a teenager, and works with his hands every single day.
You’re not going to get the same quality of insight into this world from most major publications. I do it all myself, and for that, I think it’s as hands-on as these tools and guides are.
