There are some tools and gadgets that we accumulate that become life savers. You know…the ones you get your hands on and the confetti explodes and the angels sing and you find yourself thinking “How did I survive without this?” I have compiled a list of my favorite DIY tools that I use at The Blue Building. Some are tools that I use everyday. Some are tools for special projects that I use frequently. And some are tools I use only every now and then. But all are tools that make my projects progress more smoothly and more easily. Of course I am including my affiliate links. Should you click through and purchase one of these items, you pay no more but I receive a small percentage of the sale for referring you.

Homeright Finish Max Paint Sprayer.
This is Homeright’s smallest and most affordable model. I absolutely love this tool! It is easy to prepare, easy to use, and easy to clean. Read my post HERE about how wonderful this tool is!
Kreg Rip Cut Jig
This tool is used with a circular saw to cut straight pieces of wood. Let me just say that it makes cutting long pieces of wood like sheets of paneling or plywood super easy! This is especially great for folks without a steady hand. It makes cuts so much easier! An it is soooo much less expensive than a table saw!
Kreg Rip Cut Jig, Pocket Hole Jig and Shelf Hole Jig
The Rip Cut is also offered in a package deal along with a mini Pocket Hole Jig and a Shelf Pin Jig. These are also wonderful tools for basic woodworking. Use the Pocket hole jig to conjoin wood for signs, drawers, etc.
Ryobi Airstrike Cordless Nailer
Next up on my list of favorite DIY tools is the Ryobi Airstrike nailer. This baby uses many different sizes of nail and is…CORDLESS!!! You can purchase it with or without the battery charger but you will definitely need a charger. Ryobi has package deals where you can buy several tools at a reduced price.

Ryobi Airstrike Cordless Stapler
Once you have cordless nailer, you will need a Ryobi Airstrike Stapler. This is also sold with or without the battery and charger.
Ryobi Combo Pack: Nailer and Stapler
Or you can buy these two beauties in a bundle! I have extra batteries just in case!
Silhouette Cameo
Last Christmas, my middle son, III, gave me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. Let me just say that I LOVE THIS MACHINE! This baby really brings the creativity to my favorite DIY tools! My goal is to get my weekly schedule so organized that I can set aside one day just to create with the Cameo! So far I have made signs for my business, signs to sell, signs to decorate with, decals for my daughter’s, IV, rear Xterra window, mugs, and shirts. But the sky is the limit!
Cling On Paint Brushes
My go to paint brush was given to me compliments of my fabulous friend and Haven roomie Wendy of Front Porch Mercantile. Wendy is the US and Canadian distributor for Cling On brushes. Once you try one, you will never stray! They come in many sizes and shapes but this is my favorite! They also make a super cool bent brush for hard to reach spots in places like china cabinets and bookshelves.
