Before you buy

Shopping with Tooled Up

Start a Tooled Up search with the job and material, then decide whether a hand tool, cordless tool or mains-powered model suits the work. Compare torque, size, included accessories and battery platform where relevant; buying a bare tool only works if you already own the matching batteries and charger.

For workshop or garden equipment, measure the working space and check power, noise and storage needs. Read the exact specification and warranty information for the product rather than assuming every model in a brand range is alike.

A current code can reduce the basket total, but it should not outweigh the tool’s fit for the project.
