1. Ikea Tool Set: This is indispensable. Quite simply the most useful $7.99 that you will ever spend. It includes a Hammer, Full Screwdriver Set, Wrench, Pliers, Allen Screws, and an Awl. Yes people, an awl. And if you're not already sold - it comes in a delightfully Hermes Orange Case.
2. Safco Stow Away Dolly
: This bad boy will save your back, and empower you to move things on your own. I like this model in particular because it has a base that is solid (as opposed to the ones that just have wood on either side) and it has a handy rope to tow the whole thing when you need that functionality (without the cumbersome handle to store) Random Craigslist finds, Giant Plants, and Groceries...you have all met your match.

Paint Can Opener:
Yes you could use a screwdriver and continue to bend your paint cans. Or you could invest 99 Cents for this little guy. I would keep it in your Ikea Tool Set.

all of these tools are so darn helpful! especially the paint can opener - after breaking my house key trying to open a can of behr's "chocolate froth" i figured it was time to splurge on an official opener ;)
