Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before the main painting process, ensure your tool bag is equipped with essential items that will facilitate various prep tasks. These include a two-edged knife or 5-in-1 tool (some have an integrated blade), a pair of nippers (wire cutters) for pulling staples or nails, a Linbide scraper for any scraping needs, a small wrench for light fixtures, a hinge pin remover if doors need to be removed, a nail set, a Sharpie marker for labeling, small Phillips head and flat head screwdrivers (for switch plates), and a sanding block or sponge. Having these readily available in a tool pouch increases efficiency.

Goal: Assemble a comprehensive tool bag for efficient and quick access to small prep tools.

  • Linbide Scraper Linbide — Scraping loose paint or debris

  • Sharpie Marker Sharpie — Labeling removed items or marking surfaces
  • Small Flat Head Screwdriver — Removing small flat-head screws, like those on switch plates
  • Small Phillips Head Screwdriver — Removing small screws, like those on switch plates
