Choosing power tools

Check which blades, bits or attachments are included. Confirm the right consumables and protective equipment for the material you intend to work on.

Typical jobs

Power tools are hired for cutting, drilling, breaking, sanding and finishing work that does not justify buying a tool you will use once. Typical examples are sanding a floor before refinishing, drilling into masonry, or cutting paving and tiles. Start with the task and the material, because the right tool for timber is often the wrong one for concrete or stone.

How to choose

Compare the power source, power rating and size on the equipment page, and check what is included. Blades, bits and abrasives are sometimes supplied separately, so the page will say whether you need to bring or buy them. Match the tool’s capacity to the largest piece of work you expect, and allow for how long you will be using it: heavier tools tire the person holding them.

Before you hire

Check that you have a suitable power supply and a cable or extension lead of the right rating and length. Plan for dust, noise and debris, and wear eye, ear and breathing protection as the task requires. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before starting, test the tool on an offcut where you can, and ask the team about any accessory or consumable you are unsure about.

Questions to ask before you book

Which blades, bits or abrasives are included, and which do you need to supply? What power supply does the tool need? Is it suitable for your material and the thickness you are working with? What protective equipment is recommended? How should it be cleaned and returned? If any answer is unclear, ask the team before you request your hire.
