Tool Reviews and Workwear Guides for UK Tradespeople
We review power tools, hand tools, workwear, PPE, tool storage and trade software — all with UK pricing, UK availability, and the kind of honest assessments you won’t find on manufacturer websites. No fluff, no filler. Just the information you need to spend your money wisely.
Built for the Trade
We’re not a manufacturer and we’re not sponsored by one. Every review on Kitd is based on real-world research, trade experience and honest assessment. We include the downsides as well as the upsides, because you deserve to know what you’re actually buying. All our content is UK-focused with current pricing and availability from retailers you already use.
Everything You Need to Get the Job Done
Kitd is an independent review site built for UK tradespeople. We cover power tools, hand tools, workwear, PPE, tool storage and trade software — all with UK pricing, UK availability, and opinions based on genuine research rather than manufacturer press releases.
The site exists because we got tired of reading tool reviews clearly written by people who’ve never set foot on a building site. Reviews that list specs from a product page, slap an affiliate link on the end, and call it a recommendation. That’s not what tradespeople need.
Every review on Kitd includes honest trade-offs. We tell you what’s good, what isn’t, and who the product is actually for. We compare brands properly, flag when something isn’t available in the UK, and always prioritise practical, real-world advice over marketing noise. Kitd is reader-supported through affiliate links, but our editorial opinions are always our own.
Power Tools
From cordless drills and impact drivers to circular saws and multi-tools, we review the power tools UK tradespeople rely on every day. We compare platforms like Milwaukee M18, Makita LXT and DeWalt XR so you can find the right tools for your trade without the guesswork.
Workwear & PPE
Work trousers, hi-vis jackets, knee pads, gloves, boots — the gear that keeps you safe, warm and comfortable on site. We review workwear from Snickers, Dickies, Portwest, Blaklader and more, with a focus on what actually holds up through a UK winter.
Tool Storage
Tool belts, pouches, stackable systems and van storage solutions reviewed for real-world use. We cover PACKOUT, MAKPAC, TSTAK and more — helping you find the storage that keeps your kit organised and your van under control.
Trade Software
Invoicing, quoting, job management, accounting — the software side of running a trade business is growing fast. We review apps like Tradify, QuickBooks and Xero from the perspective of sole traders and small trade businesses in the UK.
about us
Built by Tradespeople, for Tradespeople
We started Kitd because we got tired of generic “best drill” articles written by people who’ve never held one on a job. Every review on this site comes from real experience — testing gear in actual working conditions, not a studio.
Whether you’re an apprentice kitting out your first tool bag or a 20-year sparky looking to upgrade, we’ll help you spend your money wisely.
