In each house there is a toolbox in one or another quantity, because often we are faced with the need to repair, tighten, glue, etc. It is impossible to do this without the appropriate type of tool. What can I say, even a real home craftsman can not hammer a nail without special devices. And if at home repair work ?! As then? In this case, at least the minimum set of tools in the arsenal of the owner is simply required. But here a completely obvious dilemma arises - the problem of choice. The tool kit of which company is better, we will help you figure it out.
Choice question
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 complete set. The set can include a wide variety of tools - from scanty tweezers for cleaning devices to hydraulic lifts for car workshops.
Manufacturers rating
Analyzing the reviews of numerous users on thematic sites and building forums, we can conclude that tool kits of firms such as Force, Matrix, Bosh are in great demand.
TM Force
The products of this brand are produced at the Shyang Yun Hardware Co., Ltd factory, which has been operating since 1984 and specializes in the production and export operations of tools for professional-class service stations. The company has an acceptable pricing policy, which expands the circle of potential consumers and puts TM Force in the lead in the middle segment of hand tools. I would also like to emphasize that the products of this brand are especially popular among professional builders.
The Force tool kit 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. It is this feature that has become the reason that the products of this brand have been recognized worldwide. The Force company closely monitors the changes that occur in the professional tool market, and immediately reacts to them.
The Force tool kit complies with international standards - ISO 9002 (since 1994) and ISO 9001 (since 2003). The company carries out systematic quality control of its products, nomenclature, logistics system and customer service, constantly improving them. Tools "TM Force" are associated with professionals with practicality, reliability, a high level of quality and service.
TM Matrix
The Matrix brand (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 toolkit, which, depending on the design, can consist of 58, 73, 77, 94, 119, 151 or 216 items. Separately, I want to note the Matrix Professonal 135559 tool kit. There are 216 units in it, equipped with a special case made of high-strength plastic with metal locks. The assortment range includes both professional, household and universal tools. The price of the kit can vary between 1500-16000 rubles.
TM Bosh
And again, the leader from Germany. The Bosch company is the embodiment of reliability! This has already been proven 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 design and modernization focused on improving automotive products and mainly related to the ignition system and electric tools. And today, a professional set of electric type tools is an 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 an instrument will be pleasing to its owner for more than one year. Therefore, if you have a question: which firm'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 on the basis of the year of its foundation. The company has existed for more than 120 years and during this time it only strengthens its position in the world ranking. The manufacturer follows the latest in building materials and systematically introduces innovations at home. So, today the manufacturer is working not only on the quality of its products and increase 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 fixtures of the brand in question are at an affordable level and are clearly underestimated in comparison with the quality. On average, the cost of tool kits starts at 1000 rubles and is directly dependent on the configuration, because the kit can include 15, 30, 33, 41, 48, 50, 60, 65, 68 or 91 units. As for the circle of consumers, among them there are many both professionals and home craftsmen. At the same time, in the production of a tool, the wishes of the first and second were taken into account.
The set of tools of which company is the best of those that take pride of place in our ranking is entirely up to you, focusing on the features of the intended use and financial position.
Universal or professional?
For use at home with the aim of solving everyday problems, a universal set of tools is ideal. Its versatility is expressed in combining 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 nippers - they exist on the shelves of construction stores both separately from each other, and in a combined version.
If a professional tool kit is purchased, versatility is not much appreciated. But if for the house - then just right! All the components of a universal household kit are simply irreplaceable in the future. So what are these objects?
What should be included in the tool kit for the home?
- Hammer. Absolutely all male representatives have known about the purpose of such a device and the area of its operation since childhood. The kit should include such a tool, at least in two variants of execution: small-sized and large-sized.
Advice! The ideal option is when the hammer is combined with a nail clipper.
- Screwdrivers. There are a great many varieties of this device. So many that, probably, even if I wanted to indicate the total quantity, this figure would be definitely incorrect. In household appliances, as a rule, only four types of screwdrivers are in demand : flat with a wide tip, flat with a narrow end, large and small Phillips screwdrivers.
Advice! The ideal option is when, in addition to the main four varieties of a screwdriver, the set also includes an indicator screwdriver, which is used to determine the presence of voltage in a household type electrical wiring.
- Pliers and nippers. This toolkit is necessary for leveling something, bending, holding, biting. Their feature is that the scope of operation in the domestic environment is vast. Sometimes people find these tools a completely unexpected and somewhat strange use. 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, there is a need to saw off the bar or reduce the dimensions of the shelf itself. How is it here without a hacksaw? It is worth noting that hand-type hacksaws, despite the 21st century in the yard and the dynamic development of scientific and technological progress, are still considered worthy competitors to a jigsaw or grinder. It is recommended that the tool kit includes two types of hacksaws - metal and wood.
Advice! If you live in the private sector, then the ideal option would be when, in addition to the main two types of a hacksaw, a third one will enter the set - 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 using self-tapping screws, screws or nuts. What can I say, even if the faucet in the kitchen is attached with a screw-nut. Naturally, the more such nozzles, the better.
- The ax. According to popular wisdom, this device should be located near the front door. Areas of application versatility. Using an ax, you can stock up firewood for the winter, and if necessary, unwanted guests. And the ax can easily cope with the role of a hammer, chisel.
- Roulette. Measuring procedures - activities that are the "prelude" of almost all types of work. For example, if you decide to purchase furniture, 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 will also be a level.
To summarize
So, the tools are professional and unprofessional (household). When choosing a set, a key role is played by:
The three leading companies in the production of tools include Force, Matrix, Bosh. The set of tools of which company is best for you, depends 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 home, buy one that includes the main devices (hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, hacksaws, wrenches, ax, tape measure).
