Power Tool Accessories

This range covers the consumables and add-ons that keep power tools running through a job, rather than the tools themselves, spanning cutting accessories, a moisture testing kit, and general power supply items. Silverline and ProDec make up most of the stock, with Protimeter, TimCo, and Wera also represented.

Cutting accessories

Plunge cut saw blades, available in bi-metal and HCS (high carbon steel) versions in a few sizes, are designed for oscillating multi-tools, useful for cutting into materials in place rather than removing them first, such as trimming a door frame to fit new flooring underneath. Jigsaw blades, sold as mixed sets or in a specific tooth-pattern set, cover general curved and straight cutting work, while a wood auger bit is for drilling larger clean holes through timber, such as for cable or pipe runs beneath a subfloor.

Moisture testing

Protimeter accessories, including the Quickstick probe and a Hygromaster extension lead, are worth knowing about specifically if you're checking subfloor moisture before fitting a floor. These are accessories for a Protimeter moisture meter rather than standalone meters themselves, so they're relevant if you already own or are sourcing the base unit separately, and checking moisture before fitting is one of the more overlooked steps that can prevent problems with a new floor later.

Power supply and batteries

Extension leads, fused plugs, and a range of Powermaster batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V) cover the general power side of a job, useful for keeping cordless tools and site equipment running without a trip back to the van or a hardware shop mid-job. The 110V extension lead specifically is for use with site transformers, common on larger jobs where 110V tools are used for safety reasons rather than standard 240V mains power.

Scrapers and mixing accessories

Duragrip and Titan scrapers in a few sizes handle general scraping work, from lifting old adhesive to cleaning a surface before fitting, while mixing paddles for use with a power drill make short work of mixing larger quantities of adhesive or levelling compound to a consistent texture.

FAQ

What's a Protimeter accessory used for?
These are add-ons for a Protimeter moisture meter, such as an extension lead or probe, used to check subfloor moisture before fitting a new floor. They require the base moisture meter unit, sold separately.

What's the difference between bi-metal and HCS saw blades?
Bi-metal blades combine flexibility and durability, generally lasting longer in mixed-material cutting. HCS (high carbon steel) blades are typically better suited to wood-only cutting and are usually more affordable.

Why would I need a 110V extension lead instead of standard 240V?
110V tools and leads are commonly used on larger or site-based jobs for safety reasons, since a 110V shock carries less risk than a standard 240V mains shock.
