Spring renovation? See what you need
To efficiently carry out the renovation of a house or apartment, you should start with gathering the right equipment. We present 5 tools without which ambitious plans cannot be realized.
Reliable screwdrivers
Which choose? Preferably those that will ensure comfort of work - such as Felo Ergonic with the only handle in the world that fits the user's hand - These are tools that ensure maximum comfort, allow you to transfer maximum torque, i.e. tighten screws harder and do not tire your hand - says Michał Ostrowski, manager product manager at Lange Łukaszuk and hand tool expert. The German manufacturer's screwdrivers are extremely durable thanks to the chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel - you can be sure that they will survive in the toolbox until the next renovation.
Efficient screwdriver
Renovation will not do without drilling. Among the drills, the PA EY 74A2 model by Panasonic stands out - with its design, but above all with its technological solutions. It has an innovative brushless motor that generates more power and a Dual Voltage system that allows you to work with the same efficiency on the 18.0 V and 14.4 V battery. What does it mean? Just that when drilling in the ceiling, you choose a lighter battery, you do not tire your hand, and you work with the same efficiency. In addition, the Speed Control system allows you to choose the speed of the power tool for the task performed, and Tough Tool IP, thanks to which the equipment will last for years despite dust and humidity in the workplace.
Universal pliers
The toolbox must not lack pliers - it will not be necessary to cut a wire, an old cable, or pull a rusted nail out of the wall. Some models of pliers, such as the CombiMax line of the German company NWS, additionally offer the possibility of loosening / tightening popular bolts from M8 to M10. NWS pliers have a very wide range of applications. They are perfect for gripping, bending, bending, cutting, isolating or breaking various objects. - In addition, pliers with the VDE mark allow for safe work on electrical installations up to 1000V, which is important, for example, when we decide to replace the lighting - says Michał Ostrowski. The hand tools of the German brand are famous for their high comfort of work - which is ensured by the three-component handle, which guarantees an effective and strong grip.
Accurate spirit level
Changing the glaze, laying new panels or erecting a new partition wall - here the work must be kept on the level. How to check it? You will not be able to do without a spirit level, which is one of the basic measuring devices. The market offers a whole lot of them - from short, 60-centimeter, to almost two-meter, from vials to advanced laser models. Which one to choose for renovation work? A meter long with a vial is enough. In the case of spirit levels, it is worth paying attention to the accuracy of the measurement. - Sola's very accurate spirit levels stand out in this field - in all products offered by this Austrian manufacturer, the measurement error in the standard position is not more than 0.5 millimeter in all products offered by this Austrian manufacturer, and even 0.3 millimeter in the BIG RED spirit level - says Michał Ostrowski. What else? The spirit levels are distinguished by better legibility of the vials thanks to the FOCUS technology - in poor lighting conditions, it is much faster and easier to determine the position of the air bubble in the vial. Spirit levels are strictly measuring equipment, so do not use them in "fighting against the wall" - the manufacturer will not accept a possible complaint.
Durable and comfortable sander
Full renovation? If you think it should be done once and properly, invest in a decent angle grinder. This power tool is endowed with solid power and allows you to cut hydraulic and metal elements (steel, brass, aluminum). When choosing a power tool, it is worth paying attention to the technological solutions used - such as ToughTool IP in the Panasonic PA EY 46A2 grinder. Thanks to it, the grinder guarantees high durability and resistance to dust, dirt, moisture or filings. The model of the Japanese brand ensures high comfort of work - thanks to only 2.35 kg of weight and the Dual Voltage system, which allows you to work with the same efficiency on a smaller and lighter battery. It is worth paying attention to models with a slim design, allowing you to easily reach hard-to-reach places. Models with a blade diameter of 125 mm are perfect for precise work inside the building.
