Give a DIY tool for Christmas

 
30 September 2010

With Christmas now just a few short months away, power tools manufacturer Black and Decker has suggested that Brits give their friends and family the equipment they need to improve their house.

While some projects, such as bespoke conservatories, are best left to the experts, a spot of DIY can work wonders in the home.

The firm has a number of new items available, which it claims will make improving properties easy.

It claims to have something for everyone "whether [you are] buying for your sister who is renovating her new flat, your uncle who fancies himself as a bit of a carpenter, or your dad who simply loves the latest technology in tools and appliances."

Among its products are the 10.8v Dustbuster Flexi Vac, which is perfect for keeping the place clean.

The firm also makes an in-car version of the vacuum to help customers keep their vehicles in pristine condition.

Meanwhile, the 14.4v Autoselect Lithium Ion Hammer Drill is said to be the "ideal gift", with its innovative technology which offers high performance at a reasonable price.

Black and Decker is not the only firm getting in the festive spirit - Australian company Love Mae has launched a new range of fabric sticker designs that include a number of Christmas-themed items.
