Should You Stick To One Brand When Buying Power
Tools?
2

• 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 theyre
  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
  youre 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.
• Its 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 dont 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.

  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 youre 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,
  its 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.

• Buying one brand of power tool is about so much
  more than blind brand loyalty it actually offers
  a whole host of advantages to the buyer and user.
  When buying Stanley power tools from their
  extensive range, youre guaranteed a certain
  degree of reliability, and can rest assured that
  you wont need to be continually buying new
  batteries and chargers as you upgrade or add to
  your tool collection. To get your hands on the
