Cordless multifunction tools - Versatile use for fine sanding, cutting and grinding

A real all-rounder: cordless multifunctional tools enable precise sanding, sawing and cutting in one device. Their versatility and ease of use are particularly impressive for renovations or detailed work.

Battery technology - performance, runtime and compatibility at a glance

Ampere hours (Ah) - Longer running time for more efficiency

The ampere hours (Ah) of a battery indicate how long it can supply energy before it needs to be recharged. The higher the Ah value, the longer the runtime of the device - ideal for demanding projects and long work assignments. This allows you to work more efficiently without having to constantly change the battery.

Volt values - The power behind the tool

The volt rating of a battery determines the performance of your tool. Higher volt values mean more power, which is particularly advantageous for power-intensive applications such as drilling or sawing. Whether you are carrying out light assembly work or working on heavy materials - the right voltage makes all the difference.

Compatible battery systems - one battery for everything

Leading manufacturers such as Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and Metabo rely on standardized battery systems that are compatible with different tools. This not only saves costs, but also makes your equipment more flexible and sustainable. One battery, many possibilities - keeping your tool fleet future-proof and efficient.

The future of battery technology - powerful, intelligent & sustainable

Modern battery technologies - more power, shorter charging times

Lithium-ion batteries have long been the standard, but innovations such as graphene batteries promise even greater efficiency and faster charging times. Thanks to modern quick-charging functions, tools are ready for use again in no time at all, minimizing downtime. This means you benefit from maximum performance and increased productivity.

Brushless technology - durable and powerful

Brushless motors provide more power, less wear and tear and a longer service life for your tools. They work more efficiently than conventional motors as they do not require carbon brushes and therefore generate less heat. For you, this means: higher performance, less maintenance and a longer battery life.

Smart tools - intelligent battery tools for more control

Thanks to app control and Bluetooth connectivity, modern cordless tools can be customized and monitored. You can conveniently control the battery status, power settings or even anti-theft functions via your smartphone. Smart technology for even more precise and efficient work.

Sustainability - environmentally friendly battery systems and recycling

Many manufacturers are focusing on more sustainable battery systems and offer recycling programs to reuse valuable raw materials. Long-lasting rechargeable batteries with high energy efficiency not only protect the environment, but also save you money. So you are not only working efficiently, but also responsibly.

Tips for purchasing and correct use

Which cordless tools do I really need?

A cordless drill and jigsaw are good basic tools for DIY enthusiasts who are just starting out. They cover most common household tasks. Experienced tradesmen and professionals should equip their toolkit with powerful devices such as an impact wrench or angle grinder in order to carry out more demanding projects efficiently.

What should you look out for when buying? Battery capacity, performance & accessories

When buying a cordless tool, the battery capacity (measured in Ah) and the power (watts or volts) are decisive criteria. It is also worth taking a look at compatible battery systems and the accessories supplied to get the best out of the tool.

Safety & care: How to make your cordless tool last longer

Regular cleaning and correct storage of the tools prevent wear and ensure a long service life. You should also take care not to over-discharge batteries and only charge them with suitable chargers.

Comparison: Corded vs. cordless tools - When is which model worth using?

Corded tools often offer a higher continuous output and are ideal for stationary use. Cordless tools, on the other hand, score points for flexibility and mobility, especially when working without a power connection or in hard-to-reach areas.

The development of cordless tools is progressing rapidly. They are more powerful, more durable and more flexible than ever before. Whether for DIY enthusiasts or professionals - the right choice can make everyday work much easier. Enjoy your DIY and handicraft work!
