Site transformers are sized by output VA (volt-amps) rating. For a small site running 1-2 tools at a time (drill, jigsaw, light), a 3.3 kVA transformer is sufficient. For a typical site running 3-5 tools simultaneously plus lighting, 5 kVA is the standard. For larger sites with high-current tools (110V breakers, large grinders) or multiple high-power loads, 10 kVA and above transformers are required.
Forged-steel hammers are made by heating and shaping steel under pressure — the standard for most trade hand tools, giving strong grain alignment and good impact toughness. Drop-forged hammers are a specific forging technique using a heavy drop-hammer to shape steel in a single blow — denser metal structure, harder face, longer-lasting under heavy impact. For routine hand-tool use, forged-steel is sufficient; for heavy continuous-use sledgehammers and breaker hammers, drop-forged construction is preferred.
Bolt cutter capacity is rated by the maximum diameter and material grade of bolt it can cut. For mild steel bolts up to M8 and chain up to 6mm, 14-18 inch bolt cutters are sufficient. For mild steel up to M12 and chain up to 10mm, 24-inch cutters are the trade standard. For hardened bolts, padlock shackles, and rebar, hydraulic bolt cutters with 30-tonne+ ratings are needed. The cutting capacity is listed on every bolt cutter product page.
Yes. The site-transformer range is supported by 110V breakers, 110V drills, 110V circular saws, 110V site-light kits, and the 110V CEE-form leads, splitters, and outlet-box accessories used to distribute power around a site. Match the transformer rating (kVA) to the total simultaneous load of the tools and lighting connected. The 110V site-power range is browsable separately.
Every product is backed by our Fit Guarantee. If a part is incompatible with your machine, you can return it hassle-free. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will arrange collection. For other returns, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number before sending. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on UK orders. A restocking fee may apply on returns where the buyer has changed their mind. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.
Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and "Check where we deliver" confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
