Are there any power tools made in UK?

UK made power tools, hand tools and DIY tools for the home and garden. Yes – we still make tools in the UK! While the UK was once the workshop of the world, times change. Our economy is now more service-based, but we still have exceptional tools which are made and/or designed in the UK.

While the UK was once the workshop of the world, times change. Our economy is now more service-based, but we still have exceptional tools which are made and/or designed in the UK. Many companies are now looking for more sustainable production capabilities and are looking to bring manufacturing home. You can help generate and encourage a resurgence in UK manufacturing by supporting them.

These brands are of huge importance to the UK economy. Some keep alive old skills that will always be in demand, and some take new globally successful high-tech paths. All of them help create the conditions for new businesses to be built on engineering and manufacturing skills that would otherwise die. Buy their UK tools – tell your friends and family about them, and directly support their local UK communities and our manufacturing future.

Record Power has always had a reputation for outstanding reliability and robustness, but much of their manufacturing went east. In the last 10 years however that has changed: their CamVac brand of dust extractors has been UK made since 2014, and they have just released their new range of woodturning tools, completely UK made.

Makita makes power tools for the DIY enthusiast and they are also popular with the trades, with a global reputation for high quality. They are a huge 100-year-old-plus Japanese brand, but Makita UK has a Milton Keynes HQ, and a factory in Telford, Shropshire. In the UK, they build over 1 million tools a year, including hedge trimmers, cordless screwdrivers, circular saw, sanders and jigs.

Gtech design and make cordless household and garden tools. Their high-value R&D, creative design, engineering and model making teams, plus customer service, are all based in Gloucester. Most production is in China, but Gtech has recently moved some production back to Worcester. A step in the right direction!

Great service, Quality Products. Makita Hedge Trimmer arrived well packaged, original box, and no dents, so it had been well handled. Works well, at least 30% cheaper than Amazon at the time of purchase. Would recommend and buy from ukplanettools.co.uk again! The good delivery company, too, is unlike some of the others that are a constant headache. Arrived at the delivery window that they said.
