Tools
Power tools are stationary or portable hand and machine tools that operate on their own. They are able to perform various tasks requiring mechanical force. In the beginning, power tools were operated by hand and then, as industrialization grew during the Industrial Revolution they became powered by various means, such as steam engines and water wheels. Today, a wide range of power tools are available to use. Some power tools are battery-powered, but batteries are not interchangeable across brands and models. This can result in vendor lock-in, and poor long-term sustainability, if the power tool or battery, charger or component is damaged or malfunctions. Aftermarket adapters are a good option to use different battery powered tools. However, this could be risky due to the possibility of safety and performance issues. Listed below are the top 20 power tool brands in this year's Lifestory Research America's Best Trusted Power Tool Brand study.
Outdoor Power Equipment
Outdoor work is often performed using power tools that run on gas or gas-oil blends. This includes most chainsaws, string trimmers and other power tools. Other tools, like blowtorches, will use compressed air to create heat or burn a fuel. Professional-grade tools are usually double-insulated and don't earth for safety reasons. The brands mentioned were the ones that had the highest score in Lifestory Research’s 2024 America’s Most Trusted Power Tool study.

The right tool storage solution will extend the life of your equipment as well as save you money in replacement costs. You'll also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your equipment, supplies equipment, tools and tools are protected from inclement weather or theft.
