It’s confession time, I used to be so scared of power tools, but over the last few years I’ve learnt to use so many of them and honestly, they have been a game changer!
Lots of you have asked me what my essentials are, so I thought I would create a list. So this is a round-up of all of the essential power tools that I use regularly to help me create DIY and upcycling projects, like some of the ones you see here! I like to use the Bosch Power For All system which means you can use their battery across all of these tools.
I have also done a more detailed YT video all about my favourite power tools, and I will talk you through tips and tricks about what to look for and how to use them.
