Product Information

The Craftsman brand is one of the most well-loved brands in the industry, and for a good reason. However, I also see the Craftsman brand as the perfect power tool brand for your average home DIY’er. That’s not to say these tools are incapable of doing more. That’s just not true, but I feel they offer enough power and capabilities without costing you too much money. After all, if you only occasionally work on small projects, then there’s no need to have more expensive tools. That is what this article is about. It’s all about introducing you to what I see as the top 12 power tool brands on the market. With that help, it’s no surprise that professionals feel drawn to the brand. Things to Look Out for Sawstop is a relatively new company as it has only been producing tools for just over 20 years, but they have still built a strong reputation for its high-quality tools in that time. But I have a good reason for including this brand in my list, and it’s their approach to safety.

One of their primary concerns is the safety of individuals using their tools. That translates into them incorporating a number of unique features designed to make their tools as safe as possible.

But you should also know that these tools are not designed for heavy-duty usage. They can’t cope with too much, which is why I see them as better for a beginner rather than someone with a whole host of projects lined up. If it’s the absolute performance you are after with your power tools, then I think Milwaukee is the brand that stands out.

For me, Makita has the ability to make life easier when it comes to carrying out those precise cuts. So, if that’s what you need from a power tool, then I believe Makita can make a massive difference to your projects. I also appreciate how the tools manage to produce exactly what you want from them.

As a brand, DeWalt is perhaps the most popular in the country, and that’s helped by the fact they have hundreds of tools in their product line. Also, DeWalt pours a lot of time and money into developing their tools, both in new technology and ensuring tools just continue to work.

Cordless hedge trimmers: These are lightweight, quiet, environmentally friendly and have no need of petrol, engine maintenance or electricity plus there are no trailing cables to worry about. Without the cord or a petrol tank, you aren’t limited to where you can cut and although these were traditionally pretty pricey, recent advances have lowered their price. Expensive batteries and chargers however, can increase costs. Read our best cordless tools buyer's guide for more information on cordless tool systems. But that’s not to say their tools are poor. They perform exceptionally well for the price you pay and have a wide range of tools and accessories to choose from. However, you should know they tend to focus more on specific tools than others.The thing that does stand out for me with Ryobi is the cost. It’s very inexpensive, and it’s all thanks to its battery system. As long as you have their battery, then the cost of purchasing new additional tools is exceptionally low.
