TOOLS FOR THE
NEXT GENERATION
ToolboxCalc was built to help first-time homeowners and DIY beginners build the perfect tool collection—without wasting money on things they don't need.
SIMPLIFY THE OVERWHELMING
Walk into any hardware store and you'll find thousands of tools. For someone just starting out, it's completely overwhelming. Do you need a 12-piece wrench set or will an adjustable wrench do? Is a $15 hammer good enough, or should you spend $50?
We built ToolboxCalc to answer these questions. Our algorithm considers what projects you'll actually do, your experience level, and your budget to recommend exactly the tools you need—nothing more, nothing less.
