Other: Auxiliary Products for Workshop, Home and Garden

First decide what the product needs to do — storage, carrying, cleaning, fastening or auxiliary work — and where it will be used: at home, in the workshop or outdoors. Choose a product designed for exactly that job and load. See how to choose a consumable for the intended task.

If the product is meant to be used with a tool or device, check the mounting type, dimensions, thread or connector and the manufacturer compatibility list. For storage and organisation products, compare the inner dimensions and the installation space. Read how to check tool accessory compatibility and how to check consumable compatibility with a tool.

Metal parts should have an anti-corrosion coating, plastic should be impact- and frost-resistant, and rubber and soft parts should not crack or become sticky. Pay attention to welds, fasteners and the permitted load. See hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.

Follow the manufacturer instructions, do not exceed the stated load and keep the product away from children if it has sharp edges, small parts or chemicals. Wear suitable gloves and glasses during work. Read how to choose personal protective equipment.

Store the product in a dry, clean place, clean it after use and replace worn parts in time. Protection from moisture and direct sunlight extends the service life. See how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.

On purchase and before each use, check completeness, the absence of cracks, deformation and rust, and the operation of moving parts. Do not use a damaged product until it has been repaired or replaced. Read how to inspect a tool before use.
