Good to know

Cordless tools are often sold as a "bare unit" or "body only", which means no battery or charger is included, and batteries rarely fit another brand's tools. Check whether fixings and drill bits are sized in millimetres or inches; our measurement conversion charts convert between them. Wear eye protection and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Frequently asked questions

What does "bare unit" or "body only" mean?

The tool is supplied without a battery or charger. It suits people who already own a compatible battery from the same brand and range; otherwise look for a kit that includes both.

Will a battery from another brand fit my cordless tool?

Usually not. Battery systems are generally specific to a brand and voltage range, so check the product details for the compatible battery platform.

Are sizes given in metric or imperial?

It depends on the product, so check the details for millimetres or inches. Our measurement conversion charts show the common equivalents.
