Hobby Tools

There is a great new programme just started on Channel 4 on a tuesday evening called Craft it yourself. The presenters are Clemency Green, Ant Anstead and Robin Johnson. Each week they do a makeover of a room in a house showing easy ways of transforming the room.

The first was a much unloved & unused dining room and they chose a Cuban feel which was both relaxed and very useable. They show ideas of how to make things with a rating from 1 to 10 as to how hard it should be and also give a timescale for each project.

Also included is several easy quick ideas which are fun, then there is a section where one of the three will try a new craft. This week Clemency tried blacksmithing and made a kitchen knife! Courses can be found throughout the UK and range from £200.00. All in all it was a very enjoyable watch and there are 6 in this series. As a retailer of Craft & Hobby tools we found it very interesting at pagesoftools.co.uk I hope you will tune in and perhaps be inspired to start your own projects.

Huge range of craft tools available for most crafts including jewellery making, woodwork, model railways, scrapbooking and much more at pagesoftools.co.uk and the best bit? We are open 24/7 so you can shop when it best suits you.

Well I must admit that these Kitchen Knives aren`t actually hand or craft tools but could not resist these. They are made by Fiskars in Germany and are a good quality knife. They are now discontinued and new knives have a black rather than white handle (?) Still the same quality knives though with stainless steel blades. We stock too types, namely a carving knife with a straight cutting blade and also a bread knife with a serrated cutting edge.

We agree this isn`t one of our usual lines and could not decide which category was best suited but settled on our Hardware category where they can be found using links provided or simply go to website pagesoftools.co.uk and can be found using the refined search button.

We have also added some work/garden gloves with a non-slip latex palm and are available in 3 popular sizes which can be found in our DIY category. Happy browsing and remember we are always happy to help if you can`t find just what you are looking for.

Happy very damp (depending where you are in country!) Tuesday. We have been busy blogging our other blog, see here>>> blog So rather than repeat it, even copy & paste it, why not make a nice cuppa and pop over for a peek. We will be back blogging here on Thursday as listing some exciting new ranges!

The sweltering heat has cooled at last on the South coast and we have been busy finding ways to make your shopping experience even better and easier at our website pagesoftools.co.uk

We have been making our filters within each category more refined and also changed the order in which our listings are shown making it even easier to find the products you are looking for. We had a look at some websites and found some search boxes were not at all helpful and even though we knew they stocked products we were looking for the search could not find them! As a customer I find these very annoying and so have been looking in even closer detail to our own search critera and am happy to say it really is working rather well.

We have moved our most popular products to the first page in each category but is still well worth a look at other pages or simply use our filters either by brand or product to find what you are looking for. If for any reason you can`t find what you need please drop us an email using our contact us form found at bottom of homepage or the link provided in this blog. We answer messages within 12 hours even over the weekend period as the joy of online shopping is that you can do it when it best suits you (and saves on looking for that expensive parking space!) Have a great weekend

Well, alot going on today (18/6/2017) Firstly a very Happy Fathers Day to all the brillant Dad`s out there. Then the London to Brighton Bike race takes place today, yikes and what happens? We have the hottest day of year with it reaching temperatures of 30 degrees in London and almost as hot on south coast although the sea breeze will be welcomed at the finish I am sure.

As ever when we have a bit of `warm` weather in the Uk everyone seems to go into a meltdown and call it a major heatwave and yet other countries simply call it Summer!! You have to love the English weather! But whether you like sitting in sun or prefer the shade we can be found at pagesoftools.co.uk for all your Craft Tools and more and we are open 24/7 so you can shop when it suits you. Have a wonderful Sunday

Lazy Sunday morning in Sussex so decided to list some more Drill bit Sets at pagesoftools.co.uk . They are both made by Toolzone which we have recently started stock their products as have some great drill sets.

One being a 15pc Cobalt Set which contents 5% Cobalt adding not only extra strength to the drill bits but also lengthens the use of the bits. They are suitable to use on all metals including stainless steel, sheet metals, non-ferrous metal, high alloy steels, soft steels and aluminium making them a good all round drill bit. Sizes range from 1.5mm to 10mm.

The other set is a 51pc HSS high polish finish set and it is unusual as the sizes go up in 0.1mm increments from 1mm through to 6mm. So if you need odd sizes that most standard sets miss as commonly go up in 0.5mm increments this may well be the set for you. We do stock a huge range of drill bits bot in sets or sold as Single pieces in metric and imperial sizes, starting from a Micro size 0.2mm going up to a 50mm in a forstner wood bit. We like to think we have a drill bit to suit most jobs but if you can not find what you are looking for let us know using our contact us form found at bottom of homepage or use link on blog where we will do our best to help.

We are still busy listing our latest additions to our Dremel rotary tool range and our latest our these rather fabulous mounted abrasive stones which come in a variety of shapes and different grade stone and are commonly used for ceramics and other such materials for cleaning edges before glueing to give a seamless finish to work or repairs.  The stones are made  from aluminium oxide and are of a very high quality.

The shapes vary from parallel cylinder, saucer, concave saucer and wheel shape with again different grades from fine, standard and a coarse grit. They are all mounted on a 2.35mm shank and are ideal for use with a Dremel or other craft drills with this chuck capacity. They are manufactured in the UK as are all our rotary tools with a 2.35mm shank. Check out our other tools on our website pagesoftools.co.uk which is open 24/7 so you can shop when it best suits you.
