Tools

The tool range divides into hand tools and power tools, and most people arrive needing one specific thing rather than a browse. Hand tools cover the everyday set, hammers, screwdrivers and allen keys, spanners and socket sets, pliers, chisels, measuring tapes and levels, plus trowels and the trade-specific items. Power tools run through drills and drivers, circular saws, jigsaws, sanders and angle grinders, along with the consumables that wear out faster than the tool itself, drill bits, saw blades, sanding belts and cutting discs. The decision worth making early with cordless tools is which battery platform to commit to, because the packs and chargers do not cross between manufacturers and the second and third tool on the same system cost considerably less than the first.

Buying a tool one grade above what the job strictly needs is usually the cheaper decision over time, particularly on anything used more than occasionally. The main departments underneath are Drills, Drill Bits, Screwdrivers & Allen Keys, Spanners, Socket Sets, Measuring Tapes, Power Tool Batteries & Chargers and Ladders.
