The number of work boots on the market is huge and choosing a work boot which meets your requirements can turn into a real chore.
That’s why we want to introduce to you the best-selling Scruffs Twister 6 Safety Boot. A pair of boots which combine proper protection with maximum comfort and stability.
Safety Features
If you’re up at the crack of dawn, like many other tradespeople, you’ll need a boot that puts in the hours without compromising on comfort and that’s certainly what you’ll get with the Scruffs Twister 6’s. This classic mid-ankle safety boot is designed to protect you through its impact-resistant steel toe and anti-penetration midsole. Like all other Scruffs safety footwear, the Scruffs Twister 6 Safety Boot is manufactured to conform with EN ISO 20345:2004 for quality and performance. Its SRA slip rating and heat and oil-resistant sole make these the ideal boot for trades where slippery surfaces are imminent.
Comfort
The Scruffs Twister 6 Safety Boots also feature a highly flexible lightweight PU-to-rubber sole that moulds to the foot allowing for better pressure distribution. Not only does that relieve pressure from your muscles, tendons, and ligaments, meaning you’ll be less prone to foot aches or pain, but it also means you’ll benefit from better stability and traction, especially over rough or uneven terrain.
Key features:
Steel toecap & midsole
Slip-resistant
Leather upper
Padded tongue
Padded comfort collar
Available in sizes 7-12
Available in Brown or Tan
Cost
With all that being said, we know that there are other boots with similar features to the Twister 6s. But what really sets these boots apart from their counterparts, is their value for money. At a price of £24.95, there’s no denying how well worth the money is for the quality you get with these boots.
You’ll be able to find the Scruffs Twister 6 Safety Boots in brown or tan over at MAD4TOOLS.COM

Let’s be honest with ourselves – when winter sets in, everything gets just that little bit harder.
Less safe underfoot and with less dexterity in our fingers, even the smallest jobs can become not only difficult but dangerous too. Aside from filling up the flask and blowing warm air into cupped hands though, what can we do to keep out the cold and bring our work rate back up to scratch?
The answer, as we’re sure you know, is cold weather work gear. From base layers to jackets, and trousers to boots, here are a few of our handpicked choices, so you can stay warm this winter. Let’s go.
Layering
Building an effective base layer is the first step to keeping warm in adverse conditions. The base layer should be close-fitting and made from a polyester blend to perform well against cold conditions. This is why we recommend investing in some Thermal Trousers and Tops.
Top pick: Scruffs Active Thermal Pro Baselayer Top & Bottoms
These soft, comfortable base layers will keep your body temperature up, even if you have to remove or open your coat for a period.
Work Hats and Gloves
When you’re working outside, you need to pay attention to areas of your body where heat is likely to escape. That means your head.
Not just any hat will do though, because most sites require you to wear certain Personal Protection Equipment, namely, a hard hat.
Choose a hat that fits underneath a hard hat, like the Tuffstuff Peaked Beanie Hat. This is an extremely affordable and superbly stylish option, featuring ear flaps to ensure you don’t lose any body heat along the way.
Your hands also require special protection during the winter months, protection offered by products like the OX Waterproof Thermal Safety Gloves. These gloves are great for warmth in cold external conditions and provide complete water resistance on those rainy days.
Cold Weather Jackets
From there, choose from our wide range of winter jackets. Jackets like the Scruffs Waterproof Worker Jacket combine a waterproof rating of 3000mm with a lightweight mesh lining, making it the perfect accessory for all wet and cold weather.
Even if you’re in need of Hi-Vis winter workwear, we’ve got you covered. The Pulsar P507 Classic Hi-Visibility Yellow Fleece is both safe and practical, keeping you warm and visibly safe at work. Certified to: EN471:2003 Class 3. You can also find Hi-Vis clothing from top brands including Beeswift, Herock and Portwest in our range.
Winter Workwear Trousers
We all know how hard our trousers work whilst on site, but when winter rolls around, things get considerably tougher. Ice-cold surfaces, lashing rain and snow – plus an increased chance of slipping – means you need the very best.
That’s why we offer an unparalleled range of work trousers to beat the elements, each designed to help you get your job done safely and comfortably.
An alternative to the typical work trouser is work joggers. Take for example the Tuffstuff Fleece Jogging Bottoms. You’ll have comfort and warmth on your side as well as all the main features of standard work trousers such as knee pad inserts, a hammer loop and roomy pockets.
Work Boots
Last (but certainly not least) is the most vital of personal protection equipment – work boots.
Keeping feet warm is essential to working comfortably and safely, but did you know the fastest way feet lose their heat is when they’re wet? It’s for that reason that we strongly suggest you invest in a pair of waterproof safety boots.
This model from V12 is a great example – they’re waterproof, anti-static, heat resistant and have a composite toecap and midsole. It also features the innovative IGS rubber sole unit to ensure superb grip on all surfaces.
Safety wellingtons are also a great option in wet weather conditions. Offering all the benefits of a standard wellington, safety wellies have the added benefit of heat and impact resistance, making them ideal for all your on site jobs. You’ll notice that winter boots are typically a lot roomier, this is because they’re allowing for thicker socks plus extra space to allow air to circulate.
Remember, wearing cold weather work gear will help protect you from illness or injury, so it’s important that you buy the right clothing. Head over to our Best Selling Winter Workwear category for more great winter essentials.

We’re all responsible for the energy we use at home. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, student or live with your parents, there are things you can do to help lower bills and reduce your carbon footprint. And, with the souring of energy bills recently, there’s no better time to take up our energy saving tips at home to help lessen the pinch.
How to save energy in the home?
Draught-proof windows and doors
Most homes will lose heat through draughts and gaps around doors, windows, floors, or the chimney. That’s why it pays to turn detective and draught-proof these places using things like self-adhesive strips and letterbox draught seals. On average this can knock 2% off your energy bills, which is about £50 a year for the typical household.
Top recommendations:
Door & Window Self-Adhesive Strip
Letterbox Draught Seal
Door Brush Strips
Switch to LED bulbs
Modern LED bulbs are extremely efficient compared to their traditional counterparts. They use just 10% of the power to produce the same amount of light and last significantly longer, with many offering over 50,000 hours of continuous usage. At a time when electricity prices are rising much faster than usual, saving 90% on energy usage is a massive win.
Related Blog: Benefits of LED Lighting
Turn off lights
Another way to save energy at home is to remember to turn off the lights when you’re not using them or when you leave a room. Despite myths that you might have heard, turning lights on and off doesn’t use more energy and instead the Energy Saving Trust recommends turning them off when you don’t need them. This will save you around £20 a year on your energy bills.
Smart LED bulbs can help you save even more money by setting timers and being able to turn your lights on and off remotely.
Switch off standby
Unless switched off at the wall, appliances like your TV will continuously use power. Over a year period, this can add an additional £35 to your energy bills. Using digital timers can help you save money by offering programmable on/off settings and countdown functions.
Fix a leaking tap
Leaking taps can quickly become an annoyance in the home and increase your water usage. But luckily for us, they’re usually easy to fix and don’t require a call out to the plumber.
Before you get started, check you have the following tools already:
Adjustable spanner
Screwdriver
Hex Keys
Box spanners
Tap washers and O-rings
Safety goggles
How much could I save?
Savings will vary by supplier and usage, but the Energy Saving Trust estimates that these 5 energy saving tips alone can reduce household bills by over £150 a year.
Changing your habits such as reducing shower time, turning the tap off whilst brushing your teeth and closing your curtains to keep warmth in will help you save even more energy at home cost-effectively.

The modern toolbox is something that hasn’t really changed over the centuries. Just like our parents, their parents, and their parents before, our toolboxes are essential objects, housing all our must-have tools.
Over the years, our toolboxes grow with each new addition, but from time to time it’s important to stop, take stock of what you’ve got and see whether your core tools are up to the job. At MAD4TOOLS, we’re proud to supply everything you need for your ultimate toolbox, but what are the top ten tools you shouldn’t be without?
Here is our complete list of essential tools:
1. Hammers
A hammer is perhaps the single most utilised tool in any toolbox, so don’t get caught short without one. Whether you’re knocking nails into the wall or dismantling furniture, a good general-purpose claw hammer like the Ox Trade Claw Hammer will see you through most jobs.
You may find the need to store more specialist hammers in your toolbox too depending on the industry you work in.
2. Sledgehammer
When brute force is needed, you’re going to need a sledgehammer. Its heavy hammer and long handle make it a must-have tool in situations where breaking up rocks and concrete is required. Whether you need a lightweight fibreglass sledgehammer or a fully insulated one for working near live wires, our range will have you covered.
3. Crowbars
Ideal for pulling tough nails out of wood and getting into tough areas, the crowbar is a fantastic all-purpose tool. With crowbars starting from less than £5, like the Silverline Samson Crowbar, it’s not one that will break the bank either.
4. Screwdrivers
Screwdrivers are utilised all over your home, from light switches to flat pack furniture, so having a ready stable of screwdrivers available is vital. Whether you’re buying individual flat-head and Philips-head screwdrivers or a screwdriver bit set, you’ll find that having screwdrivers to hand saves you more than once.
5. Chisels
From wood to metal and back again, chisels can prove invaluable tools in your toolbox. Whether you’re knocking old paint off furniture or smoothing off edges, our range of wood chisels has something for every need.
6. Pliers
Pliers come in a range of shapes and sizes, from combination pliers to locking pliers via side-cutting, long-nosed and water-pump, and each serve a number of vital purposes around the house. Whether you’re cutting thick wires or changing taps, you’ll find that our comprehensive range of pliers has you covered.

7. Spanners and Wrenches
A good set of spanners like Silverline’s DIY Combination Spanner Set doesn’t cost the earth, but they can help you with countless jobs where gripping and twisting can be a struggle, so don’t be without them in your toolbox.
Similar in purpose to a spanner, but with adjustable heads. Wrenches come in a variety of styles, from pipe wrenches to hand wrenches and gripping wrenches. For countless jobs around the home, you’re going to need a wrench.
8. Hand saws
Don’t get caught out by jobs that require sawing, invest in a high-quality saw instead. A good, multi-purpose wood hand saw like the Ox Trade Hand Saw, which is perfect for most DIY sawing jobs. For pruning trees or tough flora, a bow saw is the smarter bet.
9. Measurement tools
A job done well requires precision, so get it right with our range of measuring and surveying tools. Your toolbox should have a tape measure, spirit level and square, at the very least.
10. Clamps
Whether you’re holding wood in place, glueing two objects together or simply keeping an object in place as you work on it, clamps form an essential part of any toolbox. We’d recommend the Stanley Max Iron Bailey G-Clamp for most purposes.
Depending on the industry you work in, your most essential tools may vary slightly. Our list comprises the most common tools DIYers or tradies would need. Start with the most basic hand tools, like a measuring tape, screwdriver and hammer. These tools are fairly cheap to get a hold of too, so they won’t break the bank!
We’d also recommend that you invest in some PPE whether that’s safety spectacles, gloves or even a first aid kit.
