Customer comments

  • Grégory De Haas

    Acro-Bat timber frame construction, Belgium

    "The HKC 55 cordless circular saw is my absolute favourite. No matter the weather when I'm working outside, the saw delivers quick results and keeps up even with the highest demands of day-to-day construction work – simply indestructible."

  • Ondřej Trunec

    Trunec carpentry, Czech Republic

    "The new TPC is just a dream! Powerful and durable. I need a screwdriver just like it. And the KickbackStop is invaluable: Kickbacks are so common, particularly when working with flat roof insulation. That's a thing of the past with the new QUADRIVE."

  • Tim Jaederfeldt

    Boli Bygg AB, Sweden

    "What helps us most in our day-to-day work are tools that adapt perfectly to our needs. The ISC 240 really makes work easier when cutting insulating material: It's highly versatile and can always be used anywhere thanks to the battery."

    Full speed ahead

    Solid-wood houses are becoming ever more popular in Germany. This is not just due to their appealing architecture and the growing interest in wood as a natural building material – the houses also take less time to build.

    Clever construction – flexible living

    Quicker and less expensive to build while still offering a cosy atmosphere: Modular houses are the latest trend in pre-fabricated building construction.

  • WORK

    In the land of heated cabins

    How exactly do you build a sauna? No, not an electric one – we mean a traditional smoke sauna in a log cabin. Sawn, planed and built, log by log, by a team of fully committed men and women, and their machines. It will easily outlive its builders; some are still standing after centuries. So, what is the secret to successfully creating a smoke sauna that is built to last? We met with three brothers who are sure to know.
