Buying tools
With power tools, the battery system you choose affects every future purchase, and “tool only” listings don’t include the battery or charger.
What to check before you buy
- Stay with one battery platform so batteries fit all your tools.
- Check whether a listing includes batteries and a charger.
- Match the tool to how often you’ll use it — occasional jobs don’t need trade-grade tools.
- Check the warranty, which can differ between home and trade use.
Prices and stock change often. Always confirm the final price, delivery cost and returns policy on the retailer’s website before paying.
