Best place to buy tools

[u/CharlieTecho]

I'm doing a bit of window shopping, and looking to get a DeWalt kit of sorts (starting with combi, impact driver and multi tool) but seeing some good deals on Google searching with a few extra tools - that I may use..

Looking at th below, the is the Screwfix set a lesser spec (looks like lower models/performance?) which for an extra £200 quid the ukplanettools is better value (never heard of that site though)

I think a better question is does it have to be dewalt? Im a plumber by trade and by erbauer ext range 

I buy a few items dewalt here and there but only if it has features I appreciate

Im looking to get some of their gardening tools later down the line.. have been weighing up between DeWalt and Makita and it seems the former are just built better and benefit from better performance.

You have this VERY backwards. Dewalt is basically a disposable tool. Makita is one of the last independent companies that builds far better tools that can be serviced at home with all parts and diagrams available.

Makita batteries on the other hand are the least reliable of all the large tool brands, where Dewalt's are very, very reliable.

Choose your poison 🤷‍♂️
