PHAM NEWS | OCTOBER 2026 32 Tools & Workwear No need to work in the dark
The redesigned H-Series of professional headtorches from Ledlenser has been engineered for use by busy installers and engineers. Every H model pairs a separate torch head and power source, which means that weight is shifted from the rear of the head for balanced, fatigue-free wear across long shifts, while allowing higher output and longer runtimes than an all-in-one unit.
An optional red rear light improves visibility and safety on busy or low-light sites. Other features of note
include an improved adaptive light beam that automatically dims and focuses the beam, with sensor technology 10x more sensitive than the previous generation. The front housings are made from 100% recycled aluminium
More compact driver power
and headbands from 100% recycled textile. ◼

Tools to help tackle the autumn rush
Toolstation has expanded its ROKTOR power tool and Minotaur hand tool ranges. The expansion includes a collection of 18V cordless power tools, including combi drills, impact drivers, multi-tools and circular saws, while more than 240 power tool accessories, including screwdriver bits, sanding sheets and jigsaw blades, have also been added. The Minotaur range
now includes more than 100 additional hand tools, including spirit levels, clamps, screwdrivers and utility knives. The expansion comes as 43% of tradespeople
surveyed by Toolstation expect their workload to increase during autumn and winter. October to December is also the retailer’s second busiest quarter for emergency call-outs, behind January to March. Beth Priestley, senior category
manager for power tools, hand tools and PTA at Toolstation, says: “Our role is to help customers conquer each and
every job at hand, and the new collections are built to do just that with their robust, high-quality offering.” The ranges are available
through Toolstation’s website,
app and stores, with Click & Collect available. ◼

Expanding its offering of tools for fixing and fastening, Makita has launched a new impact driver, the most powerful in its XGT line-up. The TD004G 40VMax XGT Brushless Impact Driver has been designed to deliver superior performance across a range of applications, including heavy-duty tasks. Powered by a 40VMax XGT Li-ion battery, the TD004G delivers 230Nm
of maximum fastening torque, a no-load speed of up to 3,900rpm and an impact rate of up to 3,900 impacts per minute. Despite its power, the compact and lightweight driver is designed for comfortable use. Four power modes adjust speed, impacts per minute and torque to suit
different fasteners and materials, while T mode reduces screw stripping when driving self-drilling screws into metal sheets. Its high torque is suited to hex head and hexalobular (star-shaped hole head) screws and hard materials such as laminated veneer lumber. The brushless motor improves power delivery and runtime, while
one-touch tool-less bit change and twin LED job lights with pre- and after-glow functions improve ease of use and visibility. ◼
