Small Hand Tools

Hand tools category

This category includes cordless and electric hand tools for a range of needs, from home renovation to professional workshop tasks. Rotary hammers, angle grinders, polishing and sanding machines, reciprocating saws, and petrol saws are frequently used in plumbing, construction, woodworking, and metalworking. The category features models from Einhell and Ryndor in various power and duty classes.

Cordless or corded?

• Cordless tools: Provide freedom of movement without a cable; practical in areas without power and when working at height. Batteries can be shared between tools in the same battery system.
• Corded tools: Run continuously without depending on battery charge; advantageous for intensive and sustained work.
• Tool-only (solo) models: A more economical option if you already have a compatible battery; battery and charger are purchased separately.
• Brushless motor models: Operate more efficiently and require less maintenance.

Selection criteria

The power and capacity of the tool must be appropriate for the task; for example, impact energy matters for concrete breaking, while disc diameter and speed matter for angle grinders. Choose a hobby or professional class based on frequency of use. Weight and ergonomics directly affect fatigue during extended use. In cordless tools, battery voltage and capacity determine run time.

Safe use

Every tool must be used in accordance with the rules in its own user manual. Protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and a dust mask must not be neglected. Disc, bit, and blade changes must be carried out with the tool switched off and, on cordless models, with the battery removed. The rpm rating of grinding discs must be compatible with the machine's speed.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tool-only model mean?

The tool is supplied without a battery and charger; you need to obtain a compatible battery separately.

What is the advantage of a brushless motor?

It operates more efficiently, runs cooler, and does not require brush replacement.

Can a rotary hammer be used on concrete?

Yes; thanks to its impact function it is suitable for drilling and breaking in concrete and stone.

Which battery should I buy?

Use batteries that belong to the same battery system as your tool and have the correct voltage.

Is it suitable for professional use?

Check the duty class stated in the product description.

Where are the battery and charger?

For compatible batteries, see the batteries and chargers category.
