Milwaukee Power Drills

2010-04-21T16:18:00.001+01:00

Milwaukee power drills tend to have a great battery life, compared to some other brands. The batteries also come with a power gauge, so you know when it's going to run out. Milwaukee drills are also generally quite well balanced which helps relieve strain on the wrist when drilling overhead. The drills also feel more professional than some other drills. There are also some very compact Milwaukee drills which are good as they fit in tight spaces, this is a good feature as it is handy for DIY.

The only real weakness with the drills is they can be on the heavy side, but this is only to be expected when using any good quality cordless power tools.

So you can buy Milwaukee power drills from Tool Guru and be confident you will get a high quality tool!

Snickers Workwear

2010-02-25T11:50:00.001+00:00

Snickers workwear is extremely hard wearing and lasts for a very long time while still keeping you warm, safe and comfortable. The clothing also allows you a lot of flexibility so you can still carry out your work to the highest standards.

The Snickers Toolvest is great as it allows easy access to your tools while you work, so you need not return to your toolbox very often. The multiple pockets allow screws and nails to be easily accessible and have enough room to keep enough for small to medium jobs without having to restock.

We found the power tool holder very useful as it enabled us to carry out the job a lot more efficiently. The telephone pouch is also a great little accessory to have.

Hitachi DB10DL - SPECIAL OFFER!

2010-02-23T10:38:00.001+00:00

The Hitachi DB10DL is a very versatile drill. Being small and quite lightweight you wouldn’t expect much from it. You may be surprised to learn that this handy drill can handle most of your drilling needs!

This drill weighs just 2 pounds, so there’s no need to lug around a heavy drill once you have this amazing drill.

We have read before that this drill has a short battery life, but when we tested it the drill lasted through at least a couple of hundred screws with life to spare!

Overall the drill is light and easy to use with a lighted tip for working in dark areas. So with our discounted price and two batteries included now is the best time to buy your Hitachi DB10DL Cordless Driver Drill from Tool Guru.

Festool Circular Saws

2010-02-16T10:24:00.001+00:00

The TS 55 and TS 75 saws are incredibly versatile and often make small table saws redundant. The saw goes directly to the wood, not the other way round. The saws easily allow you to cut tapered panels, which give them an advantage over saw tables.

These saws are perfect if you’re cutting an infill for kitchen units or a built in wardrobe that isn’t square. The Festool track saws make a perfect cut exactly where the guide rail.

The blade cuts on the upstroke and the track has a great anti splinter guard so chip free edges are easy to make all over the work piece.

Overall the TS 55 and TS 75 Festool Circular saws are a great purchase, and with the TS 75 currently in the clearance sale this is a brilliant time to buy one!

Bosch 18v Combi Cordless Drill

2010-01-29T12:44:00.000+00:00

This is one of the best combi drills I’ve ever reviewed. The Bosch GSB18 is suitable for all kinds of work, but seems to be quite well suited to electrical fitting work.

The drill is very compact compared to a lot of other 18v drills which is very useful when you need to fit in a tight space. Having tried A LOT of drills this one comes near the top in terms of ease of use and durability.

The instructions provided are very concise and you can virtually use it straight out of the box, which makes the drill suitable for both professionals and DIYers.

The drill is also fairly light weight which is also a plus, however the battery is not lithium ion so takes a little longer to charge and can occasionally doesn’t last as long. This is combated by Tool Guru supplying 3 batteries, so you can always have one ready! The drill is also currently discounted so now is the perfect time to invest in a new drill.

2010-01-18T15:23:00.005+00:00

The Hitachi DV18DL Combi drill offers great full size Lithium Ion batteries for a good price and the drill never fails to deliver. This Hitachi comes with an excellent price tag compared to a lot of other professional models.

Who we are and how we got here!

2009-10-14T11:26:00.002+01:00

It all started in a Nissan hut in Preston, when William Moore started making die castings in his back garden! William soon joined forces with master pattern maker and engineer, George Scholes.

The partners moved from producing die castings for the Bond minicar, to supplying aluminium vee pulleys for the local cotton trade, before buying a shop on Park Road selling transmission equipment, tools and fastenings.

Son Rodney Moore joined in 1961, selling manufacturing commodities and when George died in 1962, the father and son team carried on and became William Moore and Son (Preston) Ltd.

Before long, the company went into wholesale and industrial equipment supplies and when William died in 1970, Rodney concentrated the business on industrial distribution, later diversifying into industrial and retail supplies.

Sons Marcus and Gary joined the business in the early 1990s and business continued to grow until an arson attack in October 1998 destroyed the premises. But Rodney and his sons were not to be deterred and, after running the business from home for a while, they moved to their existing premises in Crook Street.

Rodney retired in 2004 and today, William Moore and Sons Ltd continues to be run by joint MDs Marcus and Gary, from 18,000 sq ft of warehousing, now selling industrial supplies for retail and trade in the Lancashire area.

Ever-evolving, the company is now celebrating the launch of its brand new website - with thousands of products online, locally and nationally.
