Plan the job first
The job decides the power.
How long do the tools actually run? Can you recharge between jobs? Is there a staircase? Does the estate restrict generators? Answer these and the right unit follows.
- Your toolsMake, model and running watts. Motors draw extra power when they start.
- Real running timeA drill used for 30 minutes in a six-hour job needs 0.5 hours of power, not six.
- Getting it thereFloor level, parking, lifting and weather. Wheels help on flat ground, not stairs.
- Who paysYou, your company, the property owner or the estate.
