The DeWalt XR combi-drill is an all-rounder, perfect for those simple tasks as well as demanding construction jobs. One of the main advantages with this model is the LED work light which is extremely useful when you’re operating in a dim-lit environment.

The fan-cooled motor will not let you down, and there are 15 different torque settings to choose between depending on the application, while there’s all-metal gearing and a dependable electric brake too. As always you get the yellow and black finish that DeWalt has become famous for, while the battery can be fully charged within an hour.

This powerful drill is more than ideal for most construction workers, and whilst it’s not the top model, it’s certainly not an entry level drill either. Whether you’re a roofer, a DIY enthusiast or just a homeowner who wants something dependable for those one-off jobs, this drill delivers superb all round performance and it’s very easy to get used to.

Concrete cutters haven’t been around for too long, and many people are still surprised to know just how easy it is today to slice through concrete. These machines are now quite lightweight, and they can cut through inches and inches of concrete, as well as soft stone, bricks and cinder blocks among other materials.

If you’re carrying out some intricate work, then you can get a great deal of precision with these cutters, and they’re easy to handle if you choose the right model. There’s a comprehensive range of manufacturers to choose between, but the best ones will leave less mess behind and impress with phenomenal power.

It is important to undertake some training before you use this tool though, because it can cut through flesh and bones with ease, and it needs to be operated carefully. If you’re regularly carrying out building work, then save time and money in the long run with a concrete cutter, because it won’t let you down.
