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. Related Reading: The Types of Pliers and Their Uses 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.

Regardless of whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a trade professional, there’s no doubting the fact that you’ll have worn respiratory protection before. From disposable dust masks to full-face respirators, there are dozens of products on the market to protect your lungs. The importance of respiratory protection Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is designed to protect the lungs against dangerous chemicals, fibres, smoke and more – all of which can cause serious, irrevocable damage to the body. It’s thoughts that occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of these substances has led to 12,000 deaths per year. If you’re working in an environment where you’re susceptible to these harmful substances, wearing a respirator is the best way to protect yourself. Filtering Facepiece safety standards The most worn masks are called filtering facepieces (FFP). They can be classified as FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3, each with different abilities. Some protect only against respirable dust, whilst others cover smoke and aqueous fog (aerosols). The greater the number, the better the protection. It is important to note that this style of respiratory protection does not offer protection from vapour or gas. Each conforms to EU norm EN 149, but where the confusion begins is in their classification. Below we’ve outlined the difference between FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3. FFP1 respirator: The FFP1 classification is reserved for the most basic of filtering facepieces, containing up to 80% of particles measuring up to 0.6 μm. The classification standards demand: Protection from ‘atoxic and non-fibrogenic’ kinds of dust. Inhaling may cause the development of health conditions and can irritate the respiratory system and cause unpleasant odours. Leakage may amount to a maximum of 25%. The mask can be used in an environment that is at most 4-times higher than the occupational exposure limit value (OEL). FFP1 respirators are typically used in light DIY tasks like painting, sanding, and light construction. They’re typically used for keeping dust out of the mouth and lungs and are often disposable. You can view our full range of FFP1 respirators here. FFP2 respirator With significantly more robust levels of protection, FFP2 filtering facepieces contain at least 94% of particles measuring up to 0.6 μm. The classification demands: Protection from firm and fluid deleterious forms of dust, smoke and aerosols. Particles may be fibrogenic, which can irritate the respiratory system in the short term and result in the reduction of elasticity in the pulmonary tissue in the longer term. Total leakage may only amount to a maximum of 11%. The mask can be used in environments with OEL levels 10-times higher than the normal limit. As a result of their increased levels of protection, FFP2 masks are often worn in industries like mining and metal, where exposure to aerosols, fog and smoke is common. You can view our entire range of FFP2 masks here. FFP3 respirator The highest level of protection offered by a fitted facepiece, FFP3 respirator masks offer exceptional levels of protection from air pollution with a total leakage maximum of 5% and 99% of all particles measuring up to 0.6 μm filtered. The classification demands: Protection from poisonous and deleterious types of dust, smoke and aerosols. Filtration for oncogenic and radioactive substances or pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungal spores. Total leakage may amount to a maximum of 5%. Suitable for environments with OEL transgression to the thirtyfold value. FFP3 respirator masks are often used in the chemistry industry because of their advanced and specialised protection.

A tradesman makes his living using tools and knows the importance of looking after them properly, so they remain safe, in good condition and most importantly to hand. Storing your tools correctly avoids the necessity of a search & rescue mission, every time you have a job to do. Apart from the frustration this causes, leaving tools lying around haphazardly and stored incorrectly can cause unnecessary risk, especially to children. In addition, it is highly likely that your tools cost you money, so it makes sense to look after them. Stored correctly, your tools will serve you well for years. So, what’s the answer? Toolbox The traditional toolbox is still a firm favourite but they have come a long way from the enamelled tin box with a single lift out tray of the past. Today, tool storage is a market in itself, with products ranging from boxes to bags to racking and shelving. Security box Hand and power tools left in vehicles overnight are a prime target for thieves – ideally, they should be removed from vehicles when left unattended. However, when this is not practical a well-made security box could be the answer. Whether your tools are being stored on site or a vehicle, security boxes ensure they are secure and locked away out of sight. Take for example, the Armorgard OxBox. This heavy-duty steel van storage vault is ideal for securing tools in your van. The ultra-robust 5 Lever deadlocks and heavy duty keys provide extra security to ensure piece of mind. Tool bags For lightness, mobility and when only a few specific tools are required some prefer a tool bag to carrying a moulded toolbox around. Tool bags are the lightweight alternative and often feature loads of handy internal and external pockets that will accommodate the smaller items that annoyingly find themselves buried underneath the bigger stuff: everything visible and ready to hand. A popular choice is the OX Pro Heavy Duty Tool Bag. Ideally, you should consider using both a toolbox and a tool bag. Use a standard heavy-duty toolbox to store the bigger, more expensive tools and a tool bag for the smaller bits and pieces, such as drill bits, nails, screwdrivers, and tape measures, for quick and easy retrieval. A lot of high-end tools are now supplied in tough carry cases, good enough for day-to-day use. For the handyman at home there are other simple ideas that will help organise your hand tools and power tools, so they are visible and close to hand. Shelving – whether garage or garden shed, shelves and racking is a convenient way of storing tools and out of reach. Polystyrene wall mounted strips are ideal way for storing power tools like a drill, router bits and other small power cutting tools. Best of all, it costs next to nothing to make. Peg boards are easy to make and are probably the most basic and of useful tool organisers. Now that you know how to store your tools, you’ll have no problem with taking care of those tools.

From powered screwdrivers to drill drivers, hammer drills, breaker drills and more – the wide world of drill choices is confusing enough, and that’s without getting into the subject of whether cordless or corded drills are right for you. Nevertheless, at MAD4TOOLS we know that many of our customers find themselves torn between drills they can take anywhere and those that are tethered to the nearest power outlet. Though ultimately identical in purpose, both corded and cordless drills have their own distinct advantages which make them better at some jobs than others, so, which should you choose? Corded Drills: Advantages and Disadvantages As the name implies, Corded drills won’t function effectively unless they’re tethered directly to a power outlet. That’s because, unlike cordless drills, they don’t have an inbuilt battery pack they can draw power from. Whilst this might strike you as inferior to a cordless drill, such a configuration actually boasts several distinct advantages which make the corded drill perfect for serious drilling jobs. Those advantages include: Lighter, more compact bodies, owing to a lack of inbuilt battery Higher power and more consistent torque More reliable drilling and driving action For professional usage, corded drills are vastly preferred for these reasons. However, they do have disadvantages, which include: Must be plugged into a power outlet at all times Cables can create a tripping hazard Cordless Drills: Advantages and Disadvantages Cordless drills, on the other hand, run entirely by battery power. This is advantageous for a number of reasons, which we’ll go into below, many people consider cordless drills to be just that bit more convenient than their corded counterparts. Some of the major advantages include: Portability; cordless drills can be taken anywhere, provided you’ve got a full charge Rechargeable batteries; you can recharge the batteries at the end of the working day. Plug the battery in for a few hours to recharge and this will save you money in the long run. Greater adaptability means that for hard-to-reach drilling jobs, cordless drills are better Those advantages mean that the cordless drill makes a lot of sense for the hobbyist or person with lower requirements from their drill. With that said though, they do have their downsides, which include: Lower power levels and less consistent delivery than corded drills Batteries can deplete, leaving you twiddling your thumbs whilst you wait for them to recharge. Tip: Having more than one battery allows you to use a fully charged one while the other charges Cordless drills are generally heavier than corded ones However, Cordless drills make a tremendous replacement for a hand-powered screwdriver and are more than capable of doing smaller jobs on-site or are often used for DIY around jobs around the house. Still undecided? Take a look at our extensive range of cordless or corded drills on our site. Read Full Story -

Although roof tiles can last a long time, up to fifty years in some cases, there are odd times they need replacing. And, as their purpose is to protect the home underneath, when a problem develops, it needs immediate attention. It is not a job that can easily be put off until another day. Whether the tile damage is due to high winds, or severe frost, roof settling or as a result of fallen debris, delays in response will compound the problem, increasing the risk of costly damage. While replacing a roof tile is in itself not a particularly difficult job, it is carried out at height so poses serious risks to personal safety. For this reason it’s important to consider all aspects of safety before tackling this job. This begins with stable, secure access, and not taking unnecessary risks. Never work on a roof during windy and wet conditions, no matter how good your equipment is. Wait, or call in a professional. Replacing a nailed roof tile A broken tile or one that has slipped cannot normally be simply nailed back into position because the original fixing nails will be hidden behind the bottom edge of the tile above. The replacement tile must be secured in place with a clip (known as a tingle). This consists of a piece of lead sheet approximately 300 x 15mm. . The first step is to remove the broken tile. This is done by gently sliding it downwards, ensuring that the overlapping tiles above are not disturbed. Remove the old nails from the batten using pliers if possible. If this is too difficult, then cut them off flush using a cold chisel or bolster. Then attach the clip to the batten in the gap between the two slates in the course above, fixing it with a galvanised nail, through the clip, about 25mm from the end, into the batten. You will end up with the short side of the clip running horizontal and the long edge vertically down. Then, gently slide the new tile into position from below so it sits on the new clip. Fold the bottom end of the clip over the tile to complete the repair. Replacing a non nailed roof tile These tiles are even easier to replace because they are not nailed to the roof battens. Rather, they are held firm by the use of nibs that protrude from their top edge. Tilt the tiles, in the course above the broken one, upwards so you have enough room to free the remnants of the broken tile from the batten. Use a small wedge underneath the adjacent tiles to hold them in place while you carefully insert the new tile by sliding it in position from below. Make sure the nibs are securely hooked over the timber batten. Once in place, ease the tiles above back to their original positions, again making sure that the nibs remain hooked over the batten. When securely in position, remove the wedges from the adjacent tiles. For more how-to guides, check out our Tips and Guides section on our blog! Read Full Story
