Do It General Product Line Review

Do It’s private label line delivers basic tools and supplies that make sense for property managers, landlords, and homeowners handling routine maintenance. The brand positions itself as the practical alternative to premium names, with tool sets and adhesives designed for home repairs rather than professional jobsite demands.

Tool Sets and Multi-Tools

The 5-piece home tool set includes a 6-in-1 screwdriver, 6-inch linesman pliers, 6-inch adjustable wrench, 16-foot tape measure, and retractable utility knife — everything needed for basic household fixes in one package. That’s the core appeal of Do It’s tool offerings: practical combinations that cover 90% of home repairs.

The 32-piece homeowner’s tool set steps up the game with a full complement of screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, tape measure, and wrenches, all packed in a black tool bag. For rental property owners or maintenance departments, this covers virtually every basic repair scenario from loose cabinet doors to leaky faucets.

The multi-bit screwdrivers showcase Do It’s focus on versatility over specialization. The 10-in-1 quick-change model features an oversized green handle and chrome-plated tube with nine bits including Phillips #1 and #2, slotted 3/16” x 1/4”, Torx T15 and T20, square recess #1 and #2, plus 1/4” and 5/16” nut drivers. The 11-in-1 steps up with a cushion grip handle and adds a 3/8” nut driver to the mix, measuring 7.5 inches with a rubber handle for better grip.

The mini ratcheting screwdriver rounds out the lineup with its compact design for tight spaces, featuring multiple interchangeable bits and a ratcheting mechanism that speeds up repetitive tasks. Perfect for electrical panels, appliance repair, or anywhere full-size tools won’t fit.

Specifications That Matter

The 2-inch stainless steel combination lock showcases typical Do It specs: stainless steel outer case, 5/16” hardened steel shackle, 3-number combination dial, 3/4” vertical clearance, and 7/8” horizontal clearance. Nothing fancy, but solid specifications for basic security needs at lockers or sheds.

The general-purpose floor adhesive covers the practical middle ground with water-resistant formulation, 18-23 square yards coverage per gallon, 12-month shelf life, and compatibility with wood, concrete, hardboard, felt, foam or jute-backed carpet, cork, and linoleum. One quart handles most small flooring repairs without investing in premium adhesives.

For faucet repairs, Do It offers washers, O-rings, and stems with exact measurements — the unglamorous parts that keep rental properties functioning without calling a plumber for every drip.

The Bottom Line

Do It products won’t impress anyone at the jobsite, but that’s not the point. These tools and supplies target property managers stocking maintenance closets, homeowners building their first toolbox, and anyone who needs functional solutions. The multi-tool sets offer genuine value for basic home maintenance, while adhesives and repair parts provide practical alternatives to contractor-grade products.

As part of the member-owned cooperative structure serving 3,800+ independent locations across 50+ countries, Do It leverages collective buying power while maintaining acceptable quality. For Montana’s independent hardware stores competing against big boxes, the Do It private label line provides products that serve practical customers well.

Skip Do It for professional construction or demanding applications. But for apartment maintenance, basic home repairs, and stocking the garage with backup tools? The quality-to-function ratio makes sense.
