Tool strategy should be built around job requirements, repair failure risk, upgrade timing, and whether cheap tools create hidden costs. Before release, this page defines a job-to-tool matrix and avoids fake item stats. After launch, it should add tested tool tiers, job compatibility, upgrade priority, material costs, and mistakes to avoid.

A practical pre-release tool hub for repair jobs, upgrades, and renovation planning.
Inspection
Job notes, room condition, visible blockers
Avoid accepting work before tool needs are clear.
Basic repair
Reusable starter tools and common parts
Good early value if the same tool repeats across jobs.
Surface work
Paint, patching, flooring, and finish materials
Material waste can erase profit if measured poorly.
Upgrade timing
Tools that unlock several job categories
Delay single-use purchases unless payout covers the risk.
