Power Tools: Drills, Saws, Grinders, Sanders & Wrenches
AIMS Industrial stocks professional and industrial-grade power tools from Metabo, HiKOKI and Trax — the brands behind the majority of our range. This is where you'll find the tools themselves: drills, saws, grinders, sanders, impact wrenches, hammers and specialist metalworking tools, in cordless, corded and pneumatic formats. Looking for blades, bits, sockets or other consumables? See saw blades and screwdriver bits.
The AIMS Power Tools Range
Our range is built around three core suppliers, each covering a different part of the job.
- Drills & Hammer Drills: Cordless and corded drill/drivers, hammer drills and heavy-duty industrial drills from Metabo and HiKOKI, in 12V, 18V and 36V/MultiVolt platforms.
- Rotary & Demolition Hammers: SDS Plus and SDS Max rotary hammers and demolition hammers for concrete, masonry and renovation work, from light-duty cordless models through to heavy 2000W demolition hammers.
- Angle & Die Grinders: Cordless and corded angle grinders, disc grinders and die grinders, plus Trax pneumatic angle grinders, die grinders and polishers for workshop and production use.
- Saws: Circular saws, plunge-cut saws, sliding compound mitre saws, table saws, band saws, jigsaws, reciprocating (sabre) saws and cordless chainsaws — timber, metal and multi-material cutting covered.
- Impact Wrenches & Drivers: Cordless and pneumatic impact wrenches from 1/4" to 3/4" drive, plus impact drivers and collated screwdrivers for high-volume fastening.
- Sanders & Planers: Random orbital sanders, belt sanders, palm sanders and cordless planers for surface preparation and finishing.
- Outdoor Power Tools: Cordless hedge trimmers, line trimmers, brushcutters, leaf blowers, lawn mowers and pruning saws built on the same 18V/36V battery platforms as the trade tools.
- Heat Guns & Fastening Tools: Heat guns, paint strippers, nail guns, rivet guns, caulking guns and grease guns for finishing, fixing and maintenance work.
- Metalworking Specialty Tools: Magnetic core drills, band files, pipe threading machines, metal bevelling tools and rebar cutter/benders for structural and fabrication work.
Choosing Between Cordless, Corded and Pneumatic
- Cordless: Best for mobility and job sites without easy power access. Metabo's 18V LTX and 36V LiHD platforms and HiKOKI's MultiVolt (18V/36V slide-pack) platform each run their own dedicated batteries and chargers — Metabo and HiKOKI batteries are not interchangeable, so match your battery platform when adding new tools.
- Corded: Best for continuous, high-load use — workshop drill presses, band saws and heavy-duty grinders where run time and consistent power matter more than portability.
- Pneumatic (Air): Best where you already run a compressed air line — Trax air tools are typically lighter, cheaper to maintain and better suited to continuous production-line use than an equivalent cordless tool.
- "Skin Only" / "Tool Only": Many cordless tools are sold as the tool head alone, without a battery or charger — this keeps the price down if you already own batteries on that platform. Check the product title before ordering if you need a complete kit.
- Expert Support: Not sure which tool or battery platform is right for your application? Contact our team or request a quote for a recommendation.

People Also Ask — Power Tools
Q: What's the difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer?
A hammer drill adds a light hammering action to a standard drill/driver for occasional masonry drilling. A rotary hammer (SDS Plus or SDS Max) uses a piston mechanism for much higher impact energy, and is built for repeated concrete drilling and demolition work rather than general-purpose driving.
Q: What does "Skin Only" or "Tool Only" mean on a cordless tool listing?
It means the tool is sold without a battery or charger. It's the cheaper option if you already have batteries and a charger for that brand's platform (Metabo or HiKOKI), and lets you standardise on one battery system across multiple tools.
Q: Can I use a Metabo battery in a HiKOKI tool, or a HiKOKI battery in a Metabo tool?
No. Metabo and HiKOKI each use their own battery and charger system, and the two are not physically or electrically compatible. If you're building out a cordless kit, stick to one brand's platform so your batteries and chargers work across every tool.
Q: What's the difference between Metabo's standard Li-ion and LiHD batteries?
LiHD (High Density) batteries deliver more power and run cooler under heavy, continuous loads than Metabo's standard Li-ion packs, making them better suited to demanding trade and industrial use rather than light or occasional jobs.
Q: Should I choose a cordless or a pneumatic (air) tool?
If you already run a compressed air line in your workshop, pneumatic tools are typically lighter, cheaper to maintain and better suited to continuous, high-volume use. Cordless tools suit mobile work and sites without an air supply, at the cost of needing to manage batteries and charging.
Q: Should I buy an 18V or a 36V tool?
18V tools are lighter and suit most general trade and maintenance work. 36V (or 18Vx2) tools deliver more power for demanding applications — larger saws, mowers and heavy-duty grinders — at the cost of extra weight. Check the specific tool's spec rather than assuming voltage alone tells you the power output.
