    • About Hand Tools

    We all know that having the right tool for the job helps get a project done much more quickly and to a higher standard, but in labour-intensive jobs like construction, arboriculture, or landscaping, choosing the best hand tool can be the difference between project success and failure. 

    Choosing the best hand tool is essential to ensure efficiency, precision, and safety, as the proper hand tool will reduce the risk of injury, and improve overall productivity.

    We stock a large range of hand tools that respond to many varied use cases. From ultra-specialised tools like digging bars and spazzles that can get particular jobs done quickly and to a high standard, to more general tools like spades and rakes that can help speed up a variety of jobs, you’re sure to find what you need.

    For Cutting

    Our range of cutting tools, such as saws and cutters, is perfect for use in a wide range of industries. From DIY tools to manufacturing, you will be sure to find something that responds to your needs.

    Non-conductive Hand Tools

    When digging in areas with live buried power cables, be sure to select a tool that can protect you from shocks if an accident occurs. These tools are a good option to choose even when there are not supposed to be buried cables around, as sometimes they are not all marked properly.

    Getting the Right Hand Tools For The Job

    Consider the following when choosing your hand tools: If you get it wrong, you could be left dealing with damaged materials, poorly executed work, or even injury.

    Task Requirements

    Will you be performing specialised tasks? Ensure that the tools you choose are suitable for the specific tasks that you will be performing. Specialised tools (like rammers and excavating spoons for example) can significantly improve task efficiency as well as their results.

    Storage and Organisation

    How will you store and organise your work tools? Tools that come with storage solutions, like cases or racks, can help keep your workspace tidy, ensure that tools are readily accessible, and significantly extend their lifespan. Proper storage will also protect your tools from theft and weather damage.

    Certifications and Regulations

    If you’re working in a regulated area, such as by train tracks, be sure to choose a tool that meets the relevant regulations. If you are digging in an area with live cables, for example, choose an insulated tool that meets BS8020:2011.

    Maintenance and Care

    Consider how easy it is to maintain and care for the tools. Look for tools with replaceable parts or those that can be easily sharpened, like blades and cutting tools.
