Nowadays, top brands offer work boots in a whole array of colours and designs to give more options to the buyer, as well as doing a fantastic job at keeping your feet safe while you are working. Cheap / Off brand Power Tools Screwfix has an excellent reputation and is arguably the best brand for trade tools in the UK. This is down to them supplying only top-quality tools at extremely reasonable prices. It’s obvious that the team at Screwfix are passionate about what they do – having friendly and helpful staff that range from online assistants to instore staff. If you are unsure or need any advice on your DIY or trade job, they are more than happy to answer your questions. Many bargain footwear suppliers offer work boots for a fantastic price. But these are often not steel toe capped, do not have anti-fatigue soles and won’t protect your feet against liquids or extreme heat. In fact, some boots that look the part may as well be a pair of sandals if a hammer or power tool was to drop on your foot. As with any product, when you’re shopping online you’re often given a set of alternative products to consider. These aren’t always the same type of product, but usually products that people are interested in when they’ve bought DeWalt DCD778D2T-GB 18V 2.0Ah Li-Ion XR Brushless Cordless Combi Drill. Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user.Make sure you maintain your tools by performing regular maintenance tasks like grinding or sharpening. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions while you’re doing this.

You may have to pay more than the cheaper or disposable options on the market, but you will be thankful if a near miss or accident occurs and it was your PPE that reduced or avoided the injury.

Instead it’s great for rapid screwing jobs, where a low torque setting is the best option. For drilling up to 13mm in wood and masonry, you’ll want to select a punchier torque setting, but it copes admirably, especially with good quality bits installed. Cheaper brands, such as those you would find in high street bargain stores, will have been mass-produced with lower grade materials which allow the low price tag. Though that may sound good for your bank account, you will soon discover you have a tape measure that slices your fingers, screwdrivers that don’t fit in the cross slot of a screw and a hammer grip that is slipping from the handle.

Do not use electric tools in wet conditions unless they are approved for that use. If you must work in wet conditions, always ensure you have good balance and are unlikely to slip. My old drill which carried me for around 25 years+ {also a De Walt} Was sadly coming to an end as the batteries were draining during every job. As only a keen home DIY'er this was too much so it was time to start researching the new market which hit me with a right hook as there are now so many great power tools out there at very competitive prices.

The only niggle I found were that the LED work light is good but not excellent - there are brighter ones available out there.

There is a long list of brands that excel in specific tools, but don’t do so well with others. One company that is fantastic across the board is Screwfix. A brushless electronic motor runs more efficiently than brushed types. This can help reduce the tool's energy consumption.When working at heights, never leave tools lying out in the areas where they could present a hazard to the people below. Of all 19 products there were a total of 13 that were more expensive and 4 that were cheaper than DeWalt DCD778D2T-GB 18V 2.0Ah Li-Ion XR Brushless Cordless Combi Drill. When you are finished using a compression tool like a nail gun, make sure that the pressure is released before you break the hose connections. That said, it’s not particularly heavy, even with a bit 5.0Ah battery slapped onto the bottom of it. I’ve tried many other drills that are weightier but that doesn’t take away from the general robustness, as it can definitely stand up to many weeks, months and years of operating in dusty and dirty environments.
