Which tool set is better? Tips for choosing

In each house there is a toolkit in one or another quantity, after all, we often encounter the need to repair, tweak, glue, etc. It is impossible to do this without the appropriate type of tool. Yes, there to say, a nail can not be hammered without special adaptations, even a real house craftsman. And if at home repair work ?! As then? In this case, at least a minimal set of tools in the arsenal of the owner should be simply obliged. But even here a quite obvious dilemma arises - the problem of choice. Which set of tools is better, we will help you understand.

Question of choice

The Russian market of building materials and equipment offers such a wide range of tool sets that any one will be lost when choosing such an assembly. These sets differ from each other not only by the manufacturer, but also by the complete set. The kit can include a variety of tools - from scanty tweezers to cleaning instruments and ending with hydraulic type lifts for car workshops.

Rating of producers

Analyzing reviews of numerous users on thematic sites and building forums, we can conclude that the demand for toolsets of such companies as Force, Matrix, Bosh are in great demand.

TM Force

The products of this brand are manufactured at the Shyang Yun Hardware Co., Ltd, which has been operating since 1984 and specializes in the manufacture and implementation of export operations for tools for professional class service stations. The firm conducts an acceptable price policy, which expands the circle of potential consumers and puts TM Force into the leaders in the middle segment of the hand tool. Separately, I want to emphasize that the products of this brand are very popular among professional builders.

The Force toolbox can include 34, 60, 77, 82, 94, 107, 108, 110, 117,139, 142 items. Each structural unit of the kit is characterized by high quality.

TM Matrix

The Matrix brand (Germany) is another leader among tool manufacturers. The company specializes in the manufacture of locksmith, joiner, cutting, construction and finishing, measuring tools and fasteners. All this is included in the Matrix toolset, which, depending on the design, can consist of 58, 73, 77, 94, 119, 151 or 216 items. Separately I want to mention the set of tools Matrix Professonal 135559. It has 216 units, complete in a special case made of high-strength plastic with metal locks. The product range includes both professional and household or universal tools. The price of the kit can vary between 1500-16000 rubles.

TM Bosh

And again the leader from Germany. The company "Bosch" - the embodiment of reliability! This has already been proved by time. The company has been operating since 1886. Initially, the scope of activity was the repair of various mechanisms, and the main industry in the design and modernization focused on improving automotive products and mainly concerned the ignition system and electrical tools. And for today the professional set of tools of electric type 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. To please his master such a tool will not be one year. Therefore, if you have a question: the electric tool set of which firm is better, then the answer is unambiguous - only German TM "Bosch".

The credibility of a global company can also be judged from the year of its foundation. The company has existed for more than 120 years and during this time its position in the world ranking only strengthens. The manufacturer monitors novelties 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 improving the comfort level of its operation. High-quality, reliability, ease of use, compactness, safety are characterized by tools "Bosch". Prices for the adaptations of the brand in question are at an affordable level and are clearly underestimated compared to quality. On average, the cost of tool kits starts from 1000 rubles and is directly dependent on the equipment, because the kit can include 15, 30, 33, 41, 48, 50, 60, 65, 68 or 91 units. As for the circle of consumers, there are many professionals and domestic craftsmen among them. At the same time, during the production of an instrument, the wishes of both the first and second were taken into account.

The set of tools of which firm is better than those that occupy the honorary places in our rating, it is up to you to decide solely on the specifics of the intended use and financial position.

Universal or professional?

For use at home for the purpose of solving everyday problems, a universal set of tools is ideal. Its universality is expressed in the combination of several devices, which exist separately, in one instrument. For example, for the purpose of pulling nails, a nail is used. Such a device can be purchased separately, but it is possible to give preference to a universal tool - a hammer with a claw-hammer, so to speak, a 2-in-1 unit. A similar case with pliers and nippers - they are on the shelves of building stores exist as separate from each other, and in a combined version.

If a professional tool set is purchased, universality is not strongly welcomed. But if for the house - that's just right! All components of the universal kit for the household are in the future simply irreplaceable. So, what are they, these items?

What should be included in the toolset for the house?

- A hammer. About the appointment of such a device and the field of its operation, they know absolutely all the representatives of the male from childhood. The kit should include such a tool, at least in two versions: small and large.

Advice! Ideal is the option when the hammer is combined with a nail gun.

- Screwdrivers. The variety of this device is great. So much that probably, even if I wanted to indicate the total, this figure would be exactly wrong. In household use, as a rule, only four kinds of screwdrivers are used: flat with a wide tip, flat with a narrow end, large and small cross-head screwdrivers.

Advice! Ideal is the option where, in addition to the main four types of screwdrivers, the kit also includes a screwdriver-indicator, which is used to determine the presence of voltage in the electrical wiring of household type.

- Pliers and pliers. This toolkit is necessary for leveling something, bending, sticking, biting off. Their peculiarity is that the scope of operation in the household environment is extensive. Sometimes people find these tools a completely unexpected and somewhat strange application. One of these, perhaps, is, for example, the splitting of walnuts.

Advice! Ideal is the option, when the pliers are universal, that is equipped with wire cutters.

- Hacksaws. Without this tool and the man is not a man. For example, you need to fix on a wall, say, a wooden shelf, there is a need to saw off the bar or reduce the dimensions of the shelf itself. How here without a hacksaw? It is worth noting that hand hacksaws, despite the 21st century in the yard and the dynamic development of scientific and technological progress, are still considered worthy competitors as a jigsaw or Bulgarian. It is recommended that the kit includes two types of hacksaws - for metal and wood.

Advice! If you live in the private sector, then the ideal option will be when the kit includes, in addition to the main two types of manual hacksaw, a third one - a garden one. This hacksaw has a curved blade, which greatly simplifies the process of caring for trees.

- Set of wrenches. Everyone understands why they are needed. Most connections are made by using self-tapping screws, screws or nuts. Yes, there to say, even if the tap in the kitchen is attached with a screw-nut. Naturally, the more such baits, the better.

- The ax. According to folk wisdom, this device should be located near the front door. The scope of application is versatile. Using the ax, you can stock up on firewood for the winter, and in case of need - guests unwanted to hold. And even the ax can easily cope with the role of the hammer, chisel.

- Roulette. Measuring procedures are activities that are a "prelude" to almost all types of work. For example, if you decide to purchase furniture, the determining factor in its choice will be the size of the room and free space, which, strictly speaking, will be used by this furniture. No repair, even the most primitive, can not do without such a measuring device.

Advice! If you live in a private house, then the ideal option will be when among the structural units of the set there will also be a level.

Let's sum up the results

So, the tools are professional and unprofessional (household). When choosing a set, a key role is played by:

• manufacturer;
• equipment.

The top three companies-leaders in the production of tools include Force, Matrix, Bosh. The set of tools of which firm is better for you, depends also on what tasks you set for yourself. For example, if you purchase devices for professional activities 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 house, buy one that includes the basic devices (hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, nippers, hacksaws, wrenches, ax, roulette).
