Buying guide · prices and stock checked on 30 October 2026
The catalogue holds 2,271 hand tools and 1,781 tool accessories in stock today. Two numbers explain almost every price in this guide: €1.28 for a drill bit in a seven-piece Makita set and €222.99 for a torque screwdriver that clicks once at the right Nm. Between those two, a toolbox either works or keeps rounding screws. Here are 14 real references, sorted by price, with what each euro actually buys.
Quick summary
- Cheapest bit per unit: the Makita Set Of Drill Bits Wood D-62371 at €8.99 for seven bits is €1.28 per bit; the long Kwb set of three 250 mm bits at €6.99 is €2.33 per bit.
- Levels are almost free by length: €51.99 buys 0.25 m, €60.99 buys 1.2 m — €9 more for nearly five times the length.
- The real price jump is torque, not size: the Hazet 6005CT-100 (4–10 Nm) costs €222.99 with one unit left; the same brand of ordinary screwdriver does not exist in this catalogue at that price.
- Pliers at €17.99 (Stanley, 6 units) are the cheapest way to stop damaging fittings — cheaper than replacing the fitting.
- Stock is short: four of the 14 references have 4 units or fewer.
The table: 14 references sorted by price
Prices, stock and set sizes read from the catalogue on 30 October 2026, active items with inventory only. The unit column is our own arithmetic: price divided by the number of pieces the title declares.
Drill bits: the bigger set is the cheaper one
Two sets, both intended for wood, both in stock. The Kwb long set (€6.99) gives you three 250 mm bits at €2.33 each; the Makita set (€8.99) gives you seven bits from 2 to 8 mm at €1.28 each. Paying €2 more buys you four extra diameters and halves the unit price.
The long Kwb bits solve a different problem: drilling through a stud or a double joist needs 250 mm of reach, and no short bit substitutes for that. If the job is hanging shelves in masonry, the reference to look at is the Bosch Expert Elektriker-Kit at €185.99 — €37.20 per bit, five times the Makita unit price, for hammer-rated bits sold with 25 kits in stock. That is the pattern in this category: you do not pay for steel, you pay for what the bit is rated to survive.
Levels: length is nearly free, accuracy is not
The three Stabila levels in the table tell the clearest story in the catalogue. €51.99 buys 25 cm, €54.99 buys 80 cm and €60.99 buys 120 cm. For €9 more than the shortest, you get a level almost five times as long: €208 per metre versus €51 per metre.
A 25 cm level is not a smaller version of a 120 cm one in usefulness: it is the one that fits inside a cabinet, and the long one is the one that tells you whether a wall is actually straight. Buying only the short one is the most common false economy in a first toolbox — and buying only the long one means you cannot check a shelf inside a cupboard.
Where the money actually goes: torque and certification
The Hazet 6005CT-100 costs €222.99 and is the most expensive single hand tool in this selection, with one unit left. It is not a better screwdriver: it is a measuring instrument that clicks at a set value between 4 and 10 Nm. That matters on bicycle stems, motorcycle covers, appliance housings and anything with a soft gasket — places where "tight" is a number, and overtightening destroys the part.
If torque is not part of the job, the money is better spent elsewhere: €17.99 on the Stanley pliers and €26.99 on the Cliptech tape-and-cutter set cover the two jobs a toolbox fails at first — gripping and measuring. Between them they cost less than a fifth of the Hazet.
One honest limitation of this catalogue: many titles are literal catalogue translations (Set Of Desk, Cortatubos Tubos Plastic) and not all of them declare the material grade. When a title does not state chrome-vanadium, SDS-plus or a Nm range, the only verifiable facts are the price and the stock figure in this table.

Browse hand toolsChecklist before you pay
- Count the bits per euro, not the size of the box: €1.28 vs €2.33 per bit in two sets from the same shelf.
- Decide the level length by the job: 25 cm for inside cabinets, 120 cm for walls and floors.
- Buy pliers before a screwdriver if you own neither: €17.99 versus €35.99, and the pliers solve more first jobs.
- Check whether the job needs torque in Nm: if it does, no ordinary screwdriver replaces the Hazet.
- Read the stock column: the Wera screwdriver and the Hazet have one unit each.
- Confirm the chuck type (1/4", SDS-plus) before buying accessories that will not fit your drill.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to start a toolbox?
Three references cover most first jobs: Makita wood bits at €8.99, Stanley pliers at €17.99 and the Cliptech tape-and-cutter set at €26.99. Together they cost €53.97 — less than a single Wera screwdriver plus shipping.
Do I need a 120 cm level?
If you hang shelves, fit a door or check a floor, yes. It costs €9 more than the 25 cm version (€60.99 vs €51.99) and gives five times the reference length.
Why is one screwdriver €222.99?
Because it measures torque between 4 and 10 Nm instead of just turning a screw. It is a calibrated instrument: useful for stems, engine covers and soft gaskets, excessive for hanging a picture.
Are the cheap drill bits the same as the Bosch kit?
No. The Bosch Elektriker-Kit is hammer-rated and costs €37.20 per bit; the Makita wood set is €1.28 per bit. One drills masonry, the other drills timber — the price difference is the rating, not the brand.

Browse tool accessoriesWhere we ship from, and on what terms
Orders leave our EU warehouse and arrive in 3 to 7 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout by weight and destination — we do not offer free shipping, and the cost is shown before you pay.
You have 14 days from delivery to return an item under EU distance-selling rules, provided it comes back in the condition it arrived with its accessories. Every item carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, handled by us rather than by the manufacturer.
Can I return it if I do not like it?
Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it in the condition it arrived with its accessories. That is the EU distance-selling period, not the 30 days some retailers advertise.
How long does delivery take and what does it cost?
Between 3 and 7 business days from dispatch. The cost depends on weight and destination and is calculated at checkout before you pay; there is no free shipping.
What warranty do they carry?
2 years against manufacturing defects, handled by us rather than by the manufacturer, so you do not deal with their service centre.
Is the stock shown real?
Yes. The unit counts in each block come from the catalogue inventory at the time of writing, and the product page shows live stock.
What we do not sell, and why
This article reviews reference models from the market because readers compare against them. Not all of them are in our catalogue, and the prices shown next to them are market references, not an offer. What we do sell is the selection above: real units, with the price you see and a two-year warranty.
We do not invent specifications: where the manufacturer does not publish a figure in the product data, this page does not fill the gap, and we do not claim compatibilities or output figures that the product itself does not declare. We also do not include installation or accessories that are not in the box.
