Each home has a toolkit in one quantity or another, because often we are faced with the need to fix something, twist it, glue it, etc. It is impossible to do this without the appropriate type of tool. What can I say, even the most real home craftsman cannot hammer a nail without special devices. What if there are renovations at home? As then? In this case, at least the minimum set of tools in the owner's arsenal is simply a must. But here, too, a quite obvious dilemma arises - the problem of choice. Which company's tool kit is better, we'll help you figure it out.
A question of choice
The Russian market of building materials and equipment offers such a wide range of tool kits that anyone will be confused when choosing such a unit. Such kits differ from each other not only by the manufacturer, but also by the configuration. The set can include a wide variety of tools - from tiny tweezers for cleaning appliances and ending with liftshydraulic type for car workshops.
Manufacturer rating
Analyzing the reviews of numerous users on thematic sites and construction forums, we can conclude that tool kits from companies such as Force, Matrix, Bosh are in great demand.
TM Force
This brand is manufactured by Shyang Yun Hardware Co., Ltd, which has been in business since 1984 and specializes in the production and export of professional service station tools. The company pursues an acceptable pricing policy, which expands the circle of potential consumers and makes ТМ Force a leader in the middle segment of hand tools. Separately, I would like to emphasize that the products of this brand are especially popular among professional builders.
Force tool set can include 34, 60, 77, 82, 94, 107, 108, 110, 117, 139, 142 items. Each structural unit of the kit is characterized by high-level quality. It is this feature that has become the reason that the products of this brand have been recognized all over the world. Force closely monitors the changes that are taking place in the professional tool market and immediately responds to them.
Force tool set complies with international standards - ISO 9002 (since 1994) and ISO 9001 (since 2003). The firm carries outsystematic quality control of its products, range, logistics systems and customer service, constantly improving them. Professionals associate "TM Force" tools with practicality, reliability, high level of quality and service.
TM Matrix
Brand Matrix (Germany) is another leader among tool manufacturers. The company specializes in the production of metalwork, carpentry, cutting, construction and finishing, measuring tools and fasteners. All this is included in the Matrix tool set, which, depending on the design, may consist of 58, 73, 77, 94, 119, 151 or 216 items. Separately, I would like to note the Matrix Professional 135559 tool kit. It has 216 units, completed in a special case made of high-strength plastic with metal locks. The product range includes both professional and household or universal set of tools. The price of the kit can vary between 1500-16000 rubles.
TM Bosh
And again the leader from Germany. Bosch is the epitome of reliability! This has already been proven by time. The company has been operating since 1886. Initially, the field of activity was the repair of various mechanisms, and the main branch in the design business and modernization concentrated on improving automotive products and concerned mainly the ignition system and electric tools. And today, a professional set of electric-type tools is the element of the company. Power tools TM "Bosch" - the choice of a professional. The products of this brand are of high quality and reliability. Such a tool will please its owner for more than one year. Therefore, if you have a question: which company's electric tool kit is better, then the answer is unequivocal - only the German TM "Bosch".
The authority of a global company can also be judged based on the year of its foundation. The company has existed for more than 120 years and during this time it has only strengthened its position in the world ranking. The manufacturer follows the latest in the field of building materials and systematically introduces innovations at home. So, today the manufacturer is working not only on the quality of its products and increasing its range, but also on increasing the level of comfort of its operation. Bosch tools are characterized by high quality, reliability, ease of use, compactness, and safety. The prices for the devices of the brand in question are at an affordable level and are clearly underestimated compared to the quality. On average, the cost of tool kits starts from 1000 rubles and is directly dependent on the configuration, because a kit can include 15, 30, 33, 41, 48, 50, 60, 65, 68 or 91 units. As for the circle of consumers, there are many both professionals and home craftsmen among them. At the same time, in the production of this or that instrument, the wishes of both the first and second were taken into account.
The set of tools of which company is the best among those that take pride of place in ourrating, it is up to you to decide, focusing on the features of the intended use and financial situation.
Universal or Professional?
For use at home to solve everyday problems, a universal tool kit is ideal. Its versatility is expressed in the combination of several devices that exist separately in one tool. For example, a nail puller is used to pull out nails. Such a device can be purchased separately, or you can give preference to a universal tool - a hammer with a nail puller, so to speak, a 2-in-1 unit. A similar case with pliers and wire cutters - they exist on the shelves of hardware stores both separately from each other and in a combined version.
If you buy a professional set of tools, versatility is not very welcome. But if for the house - then just right! All components of the universal set for the household are subsequently simply irreplaceable. So what are these items?
What should be in a home tool kit?
- Hammer. Absolutely all males have known about the purpose of such a device and the area of \u200b\u200bits operation since childhood. The set should include such a tool, in at least two versions: small and large.
Advice! The ideal option is when the hammer is combined with a nail puller.
- Screwdrivers. Varieties of thisdevices are plentiful. So many that probably, even if you wanted to indicate the total number, then this figure would be definitely wrong. In household use, as a rule, only four types of screwdrivers are in demand: flat with a wide tip, flat with a narrow tip, large and small Phillips screwdrivers.
Advice! The ideal option is when, in addition to the main four types of screwdriver, the kit also includes an indicator screwdriver, which is used to determine the presence of voltage in household electrical wiring.
- Pliers and wire cutters. This toolkit is necessary for aligning something, bending, holding, biting off. Their feature is that the scope of operation in the domestic environment is extensive. Sometimes people find completely unexpected and somewhat strange uses for these tools. One of these, perhaps, should include, for example, cracking walnuts.
Advice! The ideal option is when the pliers are universal, that is, equipped with wire cutters.
- Hacksaws. Without this tool, a man is not a man. For example, you need to fix, say, a wooden shelf on the wall, it becomes necessary to saw off a bar or reduce the dimensions of the shelf itself. How is it without a hacksaw? It is worth noting that hand-held hacksaws, despite the 21st century in the yard and the dynamic development of scientific and technological progress, are still considered worthy competitors to electric jigsaws orBulgarian. It is recommended that the kit includes two types of hacksaws - for metal and for wood.
Advice! If you live in the private sector, then the ideal option would be when, in addition to the main two types of hand saws, the set also includes a third one - a garden one. This hacksaw has a curved blade, which greatly simplifies the process of caring for trees.
- A set of wrenches. Everyone understands why they are needed. Most connections are made using self-tapping screws, screws or nuts. What can I say, even if the faucet in the kitchen is fastened with a screw-nut. Naturally, the more of these attachments, the better.
- Axe. According to folk wisdom, this device should be located near the front door. The areas of application are versatile. Using an ax, you can stock up on firewood for the winter, and, if necessary, see off unwanted guests. And the ax can easily cope with the role of a hammer, chisel.
- Roulette. Measurement procedures are activities that are the "prelude" of almost all types of work. For example, if you decide to purchase furniture, then the determining factor in choosing it will be the size of the room and free space, which, in fact, will be used by this furniture. Not a single repair, even the most primitive, can do without such a measuring device.
Advice! If you live in a private house, then the ideal option would be when among the structural units of the set there is alsolevel.
Summarize
So, there are professional and non-professional (household) tools. When choosing a set, the key role is played by:
- producer;
- complete set.
The top three leading companies in the production of tools are Force, Matrix, Bosh. The set of tools of which company is best for you also depends on what tasks you set for yourself. For example, if you are buying accessories for professional work in the field of auto mechanics, then pay attention to Force and Matrix. If you want to purchase a set of power tools, then give preference to TM Bosh. And when choosing tools for the home, buy one that includes basic tools (hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, hacksaws, wrenches, an ax, tape measure).
