Cordless tool voltage labels can be confusing. Tools sold as "20V max" in the US and "18V" elsewhere often use the same battery cells: 20V is the peak voltage with no load, and 18V is the nominal voltage in use, so the difference is marketing rather than power.
Understanding labels like this helps when choosing a tool system you will stay with for years. This category covers tools, workshop equipment and home improvement, from DIY retailer B&Q to tool and equipment brands Vevor, Garvee and Brisks, laser engravers from LaserPecker and Monport, bathroom fittings from American Standard, radiators from The Radiator Warehouse and design tools from HOZO Design.
Garden gear is in Garden & Outdoor Living, and backup power in Solar & Portable Power.

Choose a battery platform
Cordless tools from one brand usually share batteries, so buying into a single platform lets you buy bare tools later without extra batteries. Pick a brand with a wide range of tools you are likely to want.
Brushless motors run cooler, last longer and get more work from each charge than brushed motors.
The tools most homes need
A cordless drill driver, a set of screwdrivers, a tape measure, a spirit level, a hammer, pliers and a utility knife handle most household jobs. Add a stud and cable detector before drilling into walls.
Buy, hire or borrow?
For tools you will use once, such as floor sanders or tile cutters, hiring is usually cheaper than buying. Many DIY retailers and local shops hire tools by the day.
Budget or professional tools?
Budget brands such as Vevor offer workshop equipment at low prices, which suits occasional use. Professional brands cost more but are built for daily use and usually have better service networks.
Check reviews for durability, and whether spare parts are available, before buying larger equipment.
Laser engravers and safety
Laser engravers from brands such as LaserPecker and Monport can engrave wood, leather, acrylic and metal. Many are Class 4 lasers that can cause instant eye damage, so use an enclosure or certified laser safety glasses rated for the laser's wavelength.
Never engrave or cut PVC and vinyl, which release toxic chlorine gas. Use ventilation or a fume extractor for any material.
Safety gear
Safety glasses, hearing protection and dust masks prevent the most common workshop injuries. Wear gloves when handling sharp materials, but not when using rotating tools such as drills and lathes, where gloves can catch.
Radiators and heating
Size radiators to the room's heat loss, measured in BTU or watts, which depends on room size, windows and insulation. Radiator retailers such as The Radiator Warehouse offer calculators to estimate it.
Changing radiators or boilers may require a qualified heating engineer, and gas work must be done by a registered professional.
Bathroom fittings
Check pipe sizes, water pressure and fixing positions before buying taps, toilets and showers. Water saving fittings, such as dual flush toilets and aerated taps, cut water bills.
Know when to call a professional
Electrical, gas and structural work is regulated in many countries and may need a qualified professional and sign off. Doing it yourself can invalidate insurance and create serious risks.
Measuring and planning
Laser measures and digital levels, from brands such as HOZO Design, speed up measuring and reduce errors. Measure twice before cutting, and buy around 10% extra material for waste on flooring and tiling jobs.
Painting and decorating
Good preparation makes the biggest difference to a paint job: fill cracks, sand, clean and use masking tape and dust sheets. A quality brush and roller give a smoother finish and waste less paint than the cheapest options.
Primer helps paint stick to bare plaster, wood and patched areas, and can save a coat of top paint.
Workbenches and storage
A sturdy workbench with a vise makes cutting and assembly safer and more accurate. Wall mounted pegboards and labeled boxes keep tools visible, so they are easy to find and less likely to go missing.
Caring for tools
Clean tools after use, keep blades sharp and store batteries partly charged in a cool, dry place. Rust is the main enemy of hand tools, so store them away from damp.
When tools go on sale
Tool brands discount heavily around Father's Day, Black Friday and spring, when DIY season starts. Kits with batteries and a charger are often cheaper than buying the parts separately.
Making a tools coupon go further
Coupons on larger equipment and tool kits save the most. Check delivery costs for heavy items, which can be high, and whether the coupon applies to sale items.
