Measuring tape. A tape measure is a must-have tool during your DIY move simply because
you can never be too sure whether a large furniture piece will fit through a doorway or not.
/What to do when furniture won’t fit through the door/
Flashlight. A flashlight is always handy to have during a house move, so make sure you have
one ready to serve you.
Scissors. A pair of scissors is arguably the most useful tool to have when moving house,
especially during the packing task when you’ll constantly be cutting pieces of tape or cutting
out pieces of cardboard.
Utility knife (box cutter). A utility knife, or any other type of a box cutter, will be really handy
for opening up sealed boxes during the unpacking job. Also, you can use a utility knife instead
of scissors when packing your moving boxes.
Screwdrivers. A basic set of screwdrivers can become really necessary should you choose to
disassemble and then re-assemble some of your larger furniture pieces. Also, screwdrivers
are indispensable when preparing large electric appliances for moving.
Pliers. A pair of pliers is another standard tool for assembly and disassembly of furniture, as
well as for basic wiring jobs.
Hammer. Hopefully, you won’t really need a hammer on moving day, but you can never be
sure either. A hammer is a useful tool to have when you’re hanging framed art on the walls
after the move is complete.
Ultimately, purchasing all the essential moving equipment you need to have on Moving day
can cost you much more than you’re willing to pay for those furniture moving tools. Use our

and then choose the option that makes the most sense in your relocation case.
