Thanks for visiting the UK Tool Guide website. The purpose of this website is to explain what hand tools and power tools are available on the UK market. Our main focus is to show our readers not just the availability of the tools, but what they are used for, and how to use them safely and effectively.

This information is written for home users. We know many trades use a variety of tools, but on this website we focus on homeowners and those who do a bit of DIY.

We have created a number of buying guides that are very easy to understand. We also write our own product reviews and will make recommendations based on years of experience and expertise, gained when using these tools. We will also provide many valuable tips to make the best use from your tool selection.
