Power Tools
 Nowadays,
cordless power tools dominate the DIY market because of how easy they
are to use on difficult jobs. For many years, the greatest cause of
accidents when using power tools was tripping over the cable - cordless
tools remove this risk. Some tools, such as a
Nutool
tile cutter, use such great amounts of electricity that they cannot be made
cordless, while other tools, such as electric drills and screwdrivers, have
been cordless for years.
Power tools have a cult following and there are a great many people out
there who collect them almost obsessively. In many places, a well-stocked
garage full of tools is seen as one of the ultimate symbols of manliness, as
exemplified by Tim Allen's hilarious and hugely successful TV comedy 'Home
Improvement', which ran for 8 years. |
Power Tool Accessories
 Probably
the most popular and commonly available
power tool accessories are the batteries and chargers required by
cordless power tools. While battery life has much improved since the
introduction of Lithium Ion batteries, battery memory is still an issue on
items as energy-intensive as power tools.
Other popular
power tool spares include new bits for drills, new blades for chainsaws
and new chargers for any cordless tools. These spare parts can be expensive
but it is important to use the correct part as safety can be jeopardised by
the use of generic parts. |
Gardening Equipment
 It
is not only professional gardeners who require professional
gardening equipment. Anyone who has anything larger than the smallest
garden will be well aware of the need to keep it constantly tended as things
get out of hand very quickly, especially during the summer months. If your
garden has a row of Leylandii you will almost certainly need a
chainsaw to keep them in check - an
electric chainsaw will usually do the job. There have been a number of
cases where the troublesome evergreen has caused huge rows between usually
amicable neighbours, leading lawmakers to come up with
special Leylandii regulations! To avoid falling foul of the law and
irritating your neighbours, keep that bush nicely trimmed! |
Gardening Accessories
 Keen
gardeners will also be aware of the need for a decent selection of
gardening equipment accessories. This category includes such delights as
the special attachments for your leaf blower (Stihl's
vacuum shredder kit) and a scabbard to ensure the safety of your
chainsaw when not in use. These accessories exist not only to satisfy
gardening enthusiasts but to prolong the life of equipment and to make
gardening jobs easier.
Chainsaw fans, or those who regularly need to transport chainsaws safely,
will be interested to see Stihl's chainsaw carrybag (pictured). When used in
conjunction with Stihl's scabbard, this makes for a safe and convenient way
to transport your chainsaw between jobs. |
