I’M a huge fan of New Year’s resolution and January self- reinventions, and what better reason could there be for one than a brand-new decade? (Pedants among you may get in touch to insist it’s not technically a new decade, but nothing will stop me referring to this as the start of ‘the 2020s’, so there!)
In any case, I am very pleased to be able to announce a full rebrand for ToolBUSINESS+HIRE – soon to become ToolKit. Current readers need not despair – they will fi nd the same quality news, reviews and features they’ve come to expect from us, but we are breaking away from being a strict B2B magazine and aiming to include tradespeople and professional tool end-users as well. Find out more about our plans for the new publication on page 18.

The innovations have, of course, already started. I hope you noticed the sleeve that your copy of the magazine came in is compostable. This means that the entire magazine is now totally recyclable. I’d like to ask all our readers to please bear this in mind when the time comes to dispose of your copy.
In the meantime, Peter Brett takes a look back over some of the best products of 2019 and refl ects on another year in tools. Stepping into the limelight for a review this month is Festool’s AGC 18 cordless angle grinder and Flex’s PD 2G 10.8-EC combi drill. Find out how they shape up on pages 20 and 22 respectively.
