Kitd started because we couldn’t find honest reviews. Every “best drill” article was the same recycled list, written by someone who’d never used one on a job. We knew tradespeople deserved better — so we built the resource we wished existed. Independent, practical, and written by people who actually use this gear.
If you’ve ever searched for tool reviews, you know the problem. Page after page of identical lists, stock photos, and vague descriptions that could apply to anything. The writers have never held half the products they recommend. They rank based on commission rates, not quality. We got fed up with it. Kitd was built to cut through the noise and give UK tradespeople reviews they can actually trust. We test gear properly, compare products head-to-head, and tell you the truth — even when that means saying a popular brand isn’t worth the money.
We don’t accept money from manufacturers for positive reviews. We don’t inflate ratings to boost affiliate sales. Every product on Kitd is evaluated on its own merits: build quality, performance, durability, and value for money. We compare similar products directly so you can see the real differences. We test in working conditions, not studio setups. And we update reviews when products change or better options arrive. If we recommend something, it’s because we’d genuinely use it ourselves. If something’s overpriced or overhyped, we’ll tell you that too.
Kitd covers everything a UK tradesperson needs. Power tools and hand tools — drills, drivers, multi-tools, saws, and more. Workwear and PPE — boots, trousers, jackets, gloves, and safety gear. Van and site equipment — racking, storage, lighting, and generators. Trade software — job management, invoicing, quoting, and accounting platforms. Training and certifications — courses, qualifications, and career development. We focus exclusively on the UK market, with UK pricing, UK stockists, and reviews relevant to how tradespeople actually work here. No American voltages, no products you can’t buy.
We’ll never recommend something we wouldn’t use ourselves. We’ll never hide a product’s flaws to protect affiliate income. We’ll always disclose when links earn us commission — it’s how we keep the site running, but it never influences our verdicts. We’ll update content when things change, because outdated reviews help nobody. And we’ll always prioritise your time — giving you clear recommendations without making you scroll through endless padding. Kitd exists to help you make better decisions about your gear. That’s it. No hidden agenda, no corporate sponsors, just honest information.
