• Value: A focused set avoids extra cost and clutter while enabling most starter projects.

How to start (first 3 projects)

1. Assemble a shelf: practice measuring, marking, drilling pilot holes, and driving screws.
2. Fix a loose cabinet handle: small hardware swap, using screwdriver and wrench.
3. Create a simple wooden planter: cutting, assembling, and finishing—good tool practice.

Quick beginner tips

• Read manuals for battery tools before first use.
• Use pilot holes to prevent splitting wood.
• Keep bits/sharp tools organized and replace when dull.
• Charge batteries fully and store them in a cool, dry place.
• Practice on scrap material before working on final pieces.

Budgeting (approximate)

• Low-cost starter: £80–£130 — basic models and fewer accessories.
• Mid-range: £130–£260 — better battery life, more durable tools.
• Pro starter: £260+ — higher build quality, longer warranties.

Where to buy

• Major UK retailers, specialist tool shops, or UKW Tools’ official site (compare warranties and return policies).
