Products

Are your products genuine branded items?
We sell a mix of professional-grade tools and compatible accessories. Products listed as "compatible with" a brand (such as DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, or Dyson) are high-quality aftermarket accessories designed to work with those platforms — they are not manufactured by or affiliated with those brands. This is clearly stated in each product listing.

Will compatible batteries work with my existing tools?
Yes. Our compatible batteries and chargers are designed to fit and function with the corresponding brand platforms. For example, our Makita Compatible 18V batteries work with Makita 18V LXT tools. If you're unsure whether a product is compatible with your specific tool, contact us before ordering and we'll check for you.

What brands do you stock compatible products for?
We currently offer products compatible with DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, and Dyson platforms, including batteries, chargers, power tools, and accessories. We're continually expanding our range based on customer demand.

Do compatible batteries have the same capacity as originals?
Our compatible batteries are available in various capacities, including high-capacity options (e.g. 8Ah packs) that often match or exceed the capacity of standard OEM batteries. Specific capacity details are listed on each product page.

Are your paint sprayers suitable for professional use?
Yes. Our range includes professional-grade airless paint sprayers, HVLP spray guns, and pneumatic pressure systems suitable for trade decorators and professional use. Product specifications including PSI, wattage, and tip sizes are listed on each product page to help you choose the right sprayer for the job.

Do your garden tools use the same batteries as the power tools?
Many of our cordless garden tools are compatible with the same battery platforms as our power tools (e.g. Makita 18V, DeWalt 20V). Check the individual product listing to confirm which battery platform each tool uses.

Payment & Security

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and PayPal. All transactions are processed securely through our payment partners. We do not store your full card details.

Is my payment information secure?
Yes. All payments are processed through PCI-compliant, industry-standard secure payment systems. Your card details are encrypted and we never have access to your full card number.

Do you offer buy now, pay later?
We're currently exploring additional payment options. Check our checkout page for the latest available methods.

Why was my payment declined?
Payment declines are usually caused by insufficient funds, incorrect card details, or your bank's fraud prevention. Please check your details and try again, or contact your bank. If the problem persists, try a different payment method or contact us for help.

Stop rummaging. Start working.

42 pockets

A place for every tool

Two large zipped compartments lined with 42 tool pockets. Screwdrivers, pliers, testers and bits each get their own slot, so you see at a glance what's there and what's missing.

Who is it for?

Electricians, plumbers, maintenance engineers and anyone who carries hand tools and small power tools from the van to the job.

Is it waterproof?

The moulded base is waterproof, so you can stand it on wet floors and muddy ground. Keep the zips closed in heavy rain.
