Dremel 300 Series
Dremel has been around for decades and have become the name in
multi-tools. The 300 is the new series of the famous tool that allows you to fit hundreds of different bits to do a
multitude of jobs, including: routing, sanding, carving, cutting, grinding and cleaning. This version has a variable speed setting from 10000 to 33000 RPM – quite a few times faster than any electric drill you’ve encountered. For more info visit www.dremeleurope.com
Painting your house can be quite a frustrating, if not an infuriating
experience. Depending on the skill of the painter, you could end up with just drips to clean up or an entire can of paint on your newly fitted wooden floors. But with the PaintPod you just plug in the mains and it will deliver just the right amount of paint to the paint roller. The best part of the PaintPod is the fact that it’s self-cleaning, as the system automatically cleans the roller sleeve and PaintPod unit.

Stihl Hotsaw
You can’t actually buy one of these, but this must be the coolest power tool on the planet. In fact, we’d probably have to call it insane. These extremely
powerful saws are used in the American Stihl Timbersports series. A “hotsaw” has to be able to cut through a 46cm
diameter log within seconds. This means having a 62 horsepower petrol engine, fitted to a saw that weighs 27 kg and has a chain speed of 240 km/h. Take a look at some more timbersports at www.stihl.com
You’ve probably seen those 5-in-1 type tools advertised on many an infomercial, but beware; if the advertiser says: “Do you think this is too good to be true?”, it is. But the Power8Workshop is certainly not one of these. It is the world’s first cordless bench top. This amazing tool comes in three configurations and includes a drill press, table light, scroll saw, table saw, jigsaw and circular saw. Check out the entire range at www.power8workshop.com
