Every renter and homeowner should have a few basic tools in their toolkit for quick fixes. Need to swap out an outlet cover, hang a picture frame, or tighten a loose drawer pull? You’ll want a screwdriver, hammer, level, and wrench for that, respectively. (Here, Apartment Therapy’s home projects director, Megan Baker Detloff, outlines eight tools that’ll get you started.)

Even if your tools, like mine currently, are loose in a Lululemon bag in your apartment and not in an official case, that’s OK! You have to start somewhere. Although there are lots of budget-friendly starter tool kits — with bona fide cases and all — out there, Apartment Therapy editors are big fans of HOTO tools for their sleek style and small footprint; the electric screwdriver and electric spin scrubber are fan favorites, specifically. And now, you can find HOTO tools at Costco (and on sale, at that!)

A HOTO 40-Piece Hand Tool Set Is on Sale at Costco

Normally, HOTO’s 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Tool Set, in its sleek, handled hardshell carrier, will run you about $110 on the HOTO website, which is why it’s so exciting that Costco is selling a HOTO tool kit at a major discount. 

According to several Costco shopping accounts, including the one above (@costcofam4u) and Costco shopper Laura Jayne Lamb’s (@costcohotfinds) Instagram story on April 30, the wholesale store has a 40-piece HOTO tool kit that includes a tape measure, pliers, a hammer, and an electric screwdriver for just $40 in aisles now

Lamb is a self-proclaimed “Costco addict;” she frequently scours the aisles for good deals, and this is definitely a good deal because even the completely analog hand tool set on the HOTO site costs $70

So get to Costco, get your tools (and your $1.50 hot dog and soda combo), and then share your favorite DIY projects with Apartment Therapy! Happy hammering, screwing, measuring, leveling, and more!
