Professionals often find themselves sticking to one brand of power tool, but as a DIY enthusiast, you might be tempted to buy tools from different brands according to their price, whether they’re discounted, or simply whether you like the look of them. However, as professionals will no doubt tell you, choosing to buy only one recommended brand of power tools, such as Stanley, is usually the best route to go down; but why?

Buying one brand keeps your choices simple and more affordable

With so many different brands of power tools available today, whether corded or cordless, if you’re browsing online or searching the shelves in a store, it can be hard to know which one you should choose. But, if you start by choosing a brand that you know is reliable, such as Stanley, half of the battle is won.

It’s almost always cheaper to buy one brand of power tool, not only because they often have combo deals on multiple tools, but also because the batteries usually fit many different tools.

Buying one brand makes them all easy to operate

As mentioned briefly above, branded power tools such as those made by Stanley, have batteries and chargers that will fit many of the tools that they make, meaning you don’t have to buy a different battery each time you buy a new power tool. Not only does this get expensive, but it can all add up to a whole lot of clutter in your workshop or tool shed; something most DIYers and certainly all professionals, want to avoid.

Buy from Stanley and make use of one battery and one charger.

Now let’s look at some of Stanley’s most popular power tools:

Tile cutter

As their name suggests, this power tool makes short work of cutting through ceramic tiles, and as they are available in a variety of sizes, you can easily find the right Stanley tile cutter for the job.

Angle grinder

A handheld tool used for cutting, grinding, deburring, finishing and polishing a variety of metals for fabrication, angle grinders from Stanley are electric, and can be either cordless, or corded. The type of abrasive disc you choose as an attachment for your angle grinder will be determined by its intended application, and the type of material you’re working with.

Chop saw

This power tool from Stanley is designed for making straight cuts in wood, and depending on the type you buy, will enable you to cut angles. Similar in looks to a circular saw, chop saws are commonly used by woodworkers to make precision cuts, or beveled or angled cuts. Faster than a circular saw, a Stanley chop saw is relied upon by many cabinetmakers, and with a special blade, the saw can also cut through metal.

Rotary drill

Ideal for chiselling, hammering and drilling into very hard materials such as masonry walls and concrete, rotary drills from Stanley use a piston mechanism rather than a special clutch, and if you need to drill bigger holes at a faster rate, it’s the ideal tool. Sturdy and long-lasting, while smaller in size, they can be used easily in smaller spaces, and Stanley rotary drills use advanced technology to improve upon power, comfort of use, and safety.
