Trading up
Autumn is the perfect time to take stock of your tool shed – and make room for new power tools and accessories.
IT’S A STORY as old as time. The rainy season sets in, and the shed quickly becomes a cluttered mess of outdoor furniture, garden tools and general debris. If this is where you like to tinker and carry out DIY jobs, it’s time to get organised before winter properly arrives and you’ll avoid the chaos. A good clean out also means extra room for new tools. Any excuse, eh?
Tips for an organised work shed
Spend time taking out all of the rubbish, MDF offcuts, rusty nails, the kids’ old bikes… they’ve got to go.
Use pegboards and hooks to hang up garden tools, hammers and screwdrivers. It’s inexpensive, does the trick and looks good.
Invest in a proper toolbox. Organise the tools you already have with a Powerbuilt Racing Series Tool Chest or go all out and load up with the Powerbuilt 189pc Tool Chest and Assorted Tools – a one-stop shop of everything you need. Built to last, with ball-bearing sliding drawers, it keeps everything neat and organised.
You need an efficient worklight, especially as the dark, winter days loom.
The compact and rugged Rechargeable Worklight from Powerbuilt folds out to any angle, is ultra-bright, charges your smartphone and perfect as an allpurpose light for all projects and travels.
Don’t forget to have an everyday torch in your pocket as a back-up light. For convenience, the Powerbuilt Flashlight has an ultra-bright LED, uses very low battery power and with three light settings, projects a very powerful direct light, an energy-saving low light and an emergency flashing light.
Replace old power tools – today’s power tool technology makes fixing things fun and easy. Upgrade with the Kawasaki 18V Lithium-ion Cordless Drill to create or complete endless DIY projects and masterpieces. With its quick one-hour charge battery, it will always be on hand and ready to go.
Take the hassle out of using a handsaw, with the Kawasaki 185mm Circular Saw. It lets you make professional cuts when you want them, fits neatly on the workbench, features a laser light for accuracy, and has a retractable blade guard for safety.
Guard your space. It’s tidy, filled with the tools you love and ready for the winter projects. No one will blame you for hanging a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door.
