Cordless Drill

Possibly the most useful bit of kit in any DIY arsenal is a good quality cordless drill. Needed for countless jobs, not only can you drill holes with one, but changing attachments turns it into an electric screwdriver, a wire brush or a buffer.

Pick up a cordless drill from a respected DIY supplier like Travis Perkins and you’ll never look back.

The 5-in-1 Painters Tool

A painter’s tool whether it be a 5, 6 or 7-in-1, is a useful thing to have at hand and also saves on storage space and money. The perfect workmate for when you are prepping rooms ready to be decorated, their uses include scraping, pulling out nails, clean cracks and some even have a bottle opener for après DIY drinks.

Ladder

A decent ladder can make your life so much easier and it can also help stop you having avoidable accidents. It used to be the case that ladders took up a lot of space when not being used, but now foldaway ladders can be stored easily, so there is no excuse for not having one.

Tool Set

If you don’t want to find yourself running around the house looking for those illusive hand tools, the ones that have, somehow, ended up scattered far and wide, get yourself a boxed tool set.

All the screwdrivers, spanners and sockets you are ever likely to need, all in one place and easily stored.

Cordless Circular Saw

Hand saws are great for small jobs that don’t require a great deal of effort, but for bigger jobs that require cutting through either a lot of timber or large pieces, a cordless circular saw makes them easy. We recommend the BLACK+DECKER found here.
