    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."

    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."

    "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."
