The days are getting shorter, colder, wetter and the nights longer. It's time to get active at home again, pick up the tools, brandish them and shout: "Back to work!" We'll show you a few little projects to do around the house and how to protect yourself.

Who hasn't had that feeling of wanting or needing a change of decor at home?

Install some new shelves in the living room, make a pallet bed in the bedroom, sand them down and repaint them afterwards. Maybe the old wardrobe needs replacing with a new one too? Or you just fancy doing a DIY project when it's raining outside.

Choosing the right tools is just as important as choosing the right protection.

Small drilling and screwing jobs around the house

With a drill, you can easily drill holes in walls or install screws. Whether you're a man or a woman: drilling and screwing is child's play with this product.

Drilling can make a lot of noise. To protect your ears, the right hearing protection shouldn't be missing.

Gloves prevent cuts, offer more grip and are therefore perfectly suited to precision work.

Typical sanding jobs to do at home

With this sander, every piece of wood is transformed into a shimmering surface.

When sanding, fine dust is released. To prevent it getting into your eyes or you inhaling it, remember to use respiratory protection and safety goggles.

We'd like to look good all over... even when sanding, hammering and drizzling

This 139-piece tool set gives you everything you need for your jobs.

In our range of workwear, you'll also find protective clothing that looks great.

With the T-shirt below, you can peacefully listen to music thanks to the integrated cable protection that runs the cable down your back. A jumper and trousers protect you from splinters and injuries, made by nails, for example.

These Caterpillar work shoes with their timeless design offer optimum protection when DIYing. They are standards-compliant, slip-resistant, waterproof, insulated and puncture-resistant.

I love to pack my rucksack and head out into the great wide world – travelling is my thing. Discovering foreign countries, customs and culinary delights makes me happy. The beach, the sun and Bob Marley’s music are three things I can’t do without. I’m up for anything fun and I enjoy laughing. Who doesn’t?! Life’s an adventure and I can’t wait to find out what it has in store for me. My motto is: «A day without laughter is a day wasted.» – Charlie Chaplin.
