3 must-have tools for every student renter

As you settle into your new student home and embrace this exciting chapter of your life, it's important to remember that with great independence comes great responsibility! Having the right tools at your fingertips can save you time and money in the long run, plus learning how to do basic tasks around the property will help you build valuable life skills. 

Remember, a clean and well-cared-for home is a happier place for everyone. Taking care of your space isn't just a contractual obligation – it's the way forward to a more enjoyable living experience with your housemates. 


1. Toolkit

Pliers, a hammer and screwdrivers in particular, for fixing loose fixtures and handling small repairs by yourself. [Our pick: £12.69 at Amazon]

2. Radiator key

A small but essential item for keeping your home warm and cosy during the winter. As the colder months approach, you'll want to ensure your heating system is working efficiently. A radiator key is a simple tool that allows you to bleed radiators, releasing trapped air and improve heating performance. [Our pick: £2.88 at Amazon]


3. Step ladder

Always handy for changing a light bulb, reaching a high shelf  or even just hanging up some decorations. [Our pick: £24.99 at Amazon]
