I came across this Fiskars 6pc “Home Essentials” tool set, and it seemed worth sharing about.
Fiskars also describes this as a “home tools gift set,” and I can definitely see that.
This tool set comes with a utility knife, bypass pruner, shears, folding saw that works with most 6″ reciprocating saw blades, PowerGear lopper, and an IsoCore hammer.
I’m not sure I’ve seen such a collection of general purpose tools and pruning tools before, but I guess it works.
Price: ~$110
By my estimate, based on Amazon pricing the set comes with around $141 in tools if purchased separately.
Thus, the way I see it, you’re buying 5 tools and getting 1 for free.
That doesn’t save you a lot, but this could be a decent one-stop kit for new homeowners who aren’t sure what tools they’ll need, especially if they have any bushes or trees that might need occasional pruning.
The pruning tools could also help with storm cleanup, with the saw being used to cut down thicker branches and the pruners for tidying things up for composting or town/city pickup.
You could put together your own tool kit or a housewarming tool kit gift for less money, but not everyone wants to do that. This looks like a good assortment from a reputable brand.
