Ever wondered what you would need to make a cake in a bucket? No? You should get more experimental in the kitchen! If you were to attempt it the Dewalt DCD240X2 54V XR Flexvolt Brushless Paddle Mixer is what you need. If you would rather use it for something more sensible, like mixing up concrete, you know, like is was made for, then it will perform just as successfully (seriously, don’t use this to make a cake, use one of those barrel type mixers, it will look better on Instagram).

The DeWalt DCK623P3-GB six-piece kit comes with a whole host of gear, ideal for tradesmen, worksites and ensuring that you never have an excuse to avoid any type of DIY ever again. It comes with the DCG405 18V XR 125mm Small Angle Grinder, DCS367 18V XR Compact Reciprocating Saw, DCS570 18V XR 184mm Circular Saw, DCF887 18V XR 3-Speed Impact Driver, DCD796 18V XR Compact Hammer Drill Drive, DCL050 18V XR Handheld LED Area Light, two 1-70-322 TOUGHSYSTEM DS300, three DCB184 18V XR 5.0Ah Batteries and DCB115 XR Multi-Voltage Charger.

This serious six piece kit could be an ideal beginners kit or complete upgrade for an established tradesman. It comes with the DCG405 18V XR 125mm Small Angle Grinder, DCS367 18V XR Compact Reciprocating Saw, DCS570 18V XR 184mm Circular Saw, DCF887 18V XR 3-Speed Impact Driver, DCD796 18V XR Compact Hammer Drill Driver, DCL050 18V XR Handheld LED Area Light, two 1-70-322 Toughsystem DS300, three DCB184 18V XR 5.0Ah Batteries and the DCB115 XR Multi-Voltage Charger.

I always open any package from DEWALT with slight trepidation, and the DCK264P2-GB (a name that simply rolls off the tongue) provided the office with a little extra panic as I wandered about with not just one but two nail guns in my hands, like some DIY mad Billy the Kid (unloaded of course; I’m not even trusted with a Nerf gun).

Fancy taking your DIY skills up a level? Or probably the safer set of circumstances is that you already work with gear like this and won’t end up with stigmata in your hands. The DeWALT DCN680 is a brushless XR 18 Gauge Brad Nailer which comes with two 2.0Ah XR Li-Ion battery packs with state of charge indicator, a multi-voltage XR charger and the TSTAK-VI Heavy Duty Kitbox for storage and travel.
