Listen to who's drilling - tools with power!

Today I would like to introduce you to some tools with power.

If you know the sitcom with the German title "Hör mal, wer da hämmert", you should have recognised the analogy to the title of my blog. For anyone who has never heard of the sitcom, here is a brief explanation.

In the sitcom, Tim Allen plays a quick-witted presenter (Tim Taylor) of a programme called "Tool Time", which is sponsored by the fictitious tool manufacturer "Binford Tools". Tim always subordinates everything to his motto "More power!" and tries to master manual tasks by pimping up the tools he uses himself. It usually ends with the destruction of the tool or the object being worked on and Tim also injures himself from time to time.

I personally also follow the motto "More power!", but I don't want to give you any instructions on how to give your machines more power - lest someone else gets seriously injured. However, I would like to introduce you to a few items that definitely have power.

Tools with power

Screwing and drilling are no problem with the powerful 2-speed gearbox of the Bosch Professional GSR 18-2. Thanks to the belt clip supplied, you always have your tools to hand. This set is supplied with three rechargeable batteries so you can get straight to work and realise your projects. You also receive a 25-piece bit set and a storage case.

The most powerful in its class: The Bosch high-performance motor (1,300 W) with high torque is suitable for drilling, screwing and stirring. The soft grip on the main handle provides a secure hold.

Drill and chisel hammer with non-slip handle for drilling, impact drilling or chiselling, suitable for SDS-Plus. The slip clutch prevents the machine from tearing around if the tool jams. The zig-zag coating of the anchor and a new firing pin enable the toughest use.

Jigsaw with pendulum action with electronically adjustable stroke rate. The handle with inlaid rubber pad provides a secure grip and comfortable employees. The scope of delivery includes a chip guard, a plastic glide shoe and a dust extraction nozzle. The saw runs very quietly and with low vibration. The die-cast aluminium base plate can be swivelled through 45° on both sides.

If a mishap does happen to you, as it does to Tim from time to time, you will certainly be grateful for the repair tool set below. The set includes high-quality screwdrivers, manufactured by PB SWISS TOOLS in Switzerland, as well as various pliers, spanners and other tools.

Whether on the bike, to explore new trails off the beaten track, or just to stretch my feet up in the air - I prefer to spend my free time outdoors in nature. This is a great balance for me. But it's also a lot of fun for me to do a DIY project. In such projects I can refresh or further deepen my knowledge of the building sector. Some funny projects have already been created!
