Tools & DIY
Power tools, hand tools and DIY essentials compared across UK retailers.
Power tools are often sold as 'bare units' (no battery or charger) or as kits. A bare unit can look much cheaper, so check what's included, and whether it uses a battery platform you already own.

Tools & DIY: frequently asked questions
›How does DealComparer compare tools & diy prices?
We collect product and price data from UK retailers' affiliate and product feeds, match listings for the same product (using model numbers and barcodes where available), and show each retailer's live price side by side. We don't sell anything ourselves — when you click through, you buy directly from the retailer.
›How often are prices updated?
We check retailer feeds daily and remove offers that drop out of a feed. Some retailers update their feeds less often than others, and prices or stock can change on the retailer's site between checks, so always confirm the final price, delivery charge and availability on the retailer's page before you buy.
›How are tools & diy ranked on this page?
By default we rank by a best-value score. It favours products we can compare across two or more retailers, a meaningful price gap between the cheapest and other retailers, in-stock offers, recently refreshed prices, well-known brands and complete listings. Retailers can't pay to rank higher. You can also sort by price or by number of offers.
›Does DealComparer earn money from these links?
Yes. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a commission from the retailer if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Commission doesn't affect which products are shown or how they're ranked.
›Who handles delivery, returns and warranties?
The retailer you buy from. DealComparer doesn't sell, ship or process returns, so check the retailer's delivery, returns and warranty terms on their site.
›What does 'bare unit' mean for a power tool?
It means the tool is sold without a battery or charger. It's good value if you already own compatible batteries from the same brand's range.
