For most home repairs, you need a Bosch GSB 600 RE hammer drill, a basic Taparia hand tool set (screwdrivers, pliers, spanner, hammer), a tape measure, and simple safety glasses and gloves. Multi Trade Combines, AT Road, Guwahati stocks everything you need in one stop — with advice on exactly what to buy for your specific job.
The minimum toolkit for tackling common home repairs in Guwahati — whether it is a leaking pipe, a broken cabinet hinge, wall shelving, or basic electrical fitting — covers both hand tools and one good power tool. Here is a practical list:
Essential hand tools: 6-piece screwdriver set (flat and Phillips), combination pliers and long-nose pliers, adjustable spanner, tape measure (5 m), utility knife/Stanley knife, claw hammer, hacksaw with spare blades, spirit level (60 cm), and a torch. Taparia is the reliable Indian brand for most of these — well made, widely available, and reasonably priced.
One power tool to start with: A Bosch GSB 600 RE hammer drill handles the majority of home tasks — driving screws into wood, drilling through masonry for Rawl plugs, and making holes in RCC beams for fixtures. It is compact, single-phase, and the most-sold DIY power tool at Multi Trade Combines. If you do tile cutting or metal work, add a small angle grinder (Bosch GWS 600) later.
Basic safety gear: Safety glasses, a pair of work gloves, and ear protection if you are drilling or grinding for extended periods. These cost very little and prevent injuries that are far more expensive. Multi Trade Combines stocks KARAM safety glasses and gloves alongside tools, so you can pick everything up in a single visit to AT Road.
A drill-driver is the single most versatile home repair tool — it drives screws, drills into wood, plaster and masonry, and with a hammer mode handles concrete and brick. The Bosch GSB 600 RE is the most popular entry-level model in Northeast India: single-phase, 600W, compact, and available from Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati.
Not necessarily for basic repairs — an angle grinder is most useful if you are cutting rebar, grinding welds, or cutting tiles. For everyday plumbing, carpentry and electrical repair, a drill, screwdrivers, pliers, and a tape measure cover most tasks. If you plan fabrication work, add a small angle grinder to the kit.
