Powered UP tools

The increase in the popularity of DIY has helped many people save costs when it comes to maintaining and decorating their homes. There are many things that should just be left to the professionals but DIY gives you the chance to give your home an authentic flare. There is a sense of achievement that comes with creating something yourself. Luckily, the power tool industry has gotten onboard to make using power tools simpler and for some, a little less intimidating. Here are three things to look for and look forward to in the world of power tools.

SMART TOOLS You may be sick of everything becoming “smart” but you can’t deny that technology does make life a whole lot easier. We may not be quite there when it comes to userless robotic tools but some power tools can now be app controlled.

Using bluetooth technology, your tools can now be connected to a manufacture app that lets you control your tools remotely. You can turn the tool on and off, check battery life, overheating or take more accurate measurement by changing the settings on the app without having to move the device. This comes in handy for theft or lending your tools out to family and friends who don’t tend to bring them back on time. Some work lights can

hmf_bloem_MAY19_v2.indd 12

also be controlled via the app so you can light up your work space at the touch of a button.

FRIENDLY TOOLS Manufacturers have recognised the need for more user-friendly tools and have responded by making DIY-focused tools. Cordless ranges with extended battery life and added safety features make them less intimidating. Newer ranges are also generally easier to maintain.

YOU’VE GOT THE POWER The cross-over of being able to use one battery for multiple tools is a great way to save some money. When you are building up your toolkit consider buying two or three batteries and bare

tools that use the same batteries. This way you can rotate the batteries to prolong battery life and save by not having the added cost on all your tools. Just ensure your batteries are compatible with all your tools.

When starting your power tool kit, always look at what extras are included and what you need to purchase. If you are serious about taking up DIY, look for kits that have all the basic compatible power tools you need. If you’re still lost, a hand drill is the best place to start as it can be used for a number of DIY projects. Always remember that power tools may be on the expensive side but quality power tools are a valuable investment that will last for many years to come.

Blind Appeal

WWW.HOMEMAKERSONLINE.CO.ZA

Curtains have been the standard window dressing of choice for years. Although curtains will maintain their place in the sun, blinds and shutters are fast becoming popular options for modern homes. Here are some ways you can include blinds and shutters in your home Aluminium shutters offer optimum security and style. Shutters are a standalone security and window covering that can be left open when you want a view or closed and locked to be an effective security barrier when needed.

Like many things in the modern world, you can control your motorised blinds at the touch of a button. There’s even an app that lets you control your blinds when you’re not at home and light sensors that let your blinds open automatically when it’s light enough.

Double Roller Blinds work well in rooms where you need a variety of light options such as bedrooms and TV Rooms. The two layers, one blockout and one screen, allow you to control exactly how bright or dark your room should be.

Outdoor roller blinds and shutters let you enclose patios and entertainment areas when a little protection from the weather is needed. This makes your patio areas flexible indoor/outdoor spaces that are perfect for entertaining all year round.

Shutters do not only have to be used on windows. Use shutters to divide up big rooms with the flexibility to open them up and let more light in when needed.

Blinds and Shutters are versatile and functional additions to your home that can be customised to fit any decor and design style.
