Below is a summary of what to look out for when buying tools. We would definitely advise you to use branded products. Here you know that you are getting good quality for your money. The manufacturers Metabo, Makita and Bosch in particular have made a name for themselves in this regard.
A look at the well-known manufacturers
Metabo is a traditional German company in the field of tools. Metabo has been active on the market for almost a hundred years. Here you can get powerful tools for professionals as well as tools for do-it-yourselfers.
The Japanese company Makita is one of the best-known and largest manufacturers of tools. The German catalog includes more than 700 positions – international there are more than 1,000. The giant markets the cheaper devices under the name maktec by Makita.
Bosch professional-Tools help you flex, drill, hammer and machine anything that gets in your way. Here you will find the angle grinders, mixers and rotary hammers of the professionals. With the right accessories, which include protective clothing and measuring devices, you can live the do-it-yourself dream.
In addition to the classic tools, Bosch offers the power toolsseries on. These are do-it-yourself tools that usually offer somewhat weaker performance, but are also available for little money. However, if you want to break up the concrete in front of the front door, you should use other devices.

GSB 18V-110 C Professional | Bosch | 18 volt impact drill |
GWS 20-230 JH Professional | Bosch | 2,000 watt angle grinder |

Black Friday: You shouldn’t miss these tools from Metabo, Makita and Bosch
Electric versus hand tools
For many manual tasks you have the choice between a hand tool and an electronic machine. The advantage of a conventional screwdriver is of course obvious: it doesn’t break as quickly as an electric machine and it also costs less.
However, if you do not want to or cannot muster the necessary power for the hand tool, you should always use an electric tool. Although this is more prone to damage and more complex problems, the manufacturers also offer their own spare parts and repair services. So it is not absolutely necessary to throw away the device immediately in case of problems.
Is a tool set worth it for me?
Especially if you even have a tool, a set can be worthwhile. Depending on the size and equipment, these usually contain the most important tools, such as a hammer, screwdriver, Allen key or even a cordless screwdriver. Overall, they are also cheaper than buying each part individually.
Cordless Alliance System – One battery for all devices
When purchasing devices whose manufacturers are members of the Cordless Alliance, you can also use the batteries purchased with the purchased device across all manufacturers. This saves you the tedious handling of different batteries and recharging in several stations.
Danger: When replacing the battery, you only have to make sure that you don’t use a 12-volt battery for an 18-volt device, for example. Then it doesn’t deliver enough power. Conversely, a battery that is too strong can damage the device.
recommendation
At Maktia, Metabo and Bosch you have three suppliers, where it is sometimes a question of faith among craftsmen whose equipment you want to use. In terms of quality and service, all three names are in the top league. If you can’t find a device when in doubt: Makita will have it.
