Mail and website ordering has become an established way for businesses to cut overheads and pass savings onto the consumer. Northern Tool & Equipment, a leading supplier of professional tools, is intent on keeping these customers loyal with the introduction of a membership card.

If you’re regularly ordering in, the card could end up paying for itself within weeks. For starters, all orders less than 30kg are delivered free of charge – saving you up to £13.75 a pop.

Screwfix.com has recently listed a limited amount of clearance stock on its website for selected items.

It’s a handy place to pick up a quick bargain on kitchen and bathroom accessories, power tools and electrical items.

There is no doubt in many people’s minds that Christmas is the most expensive and often the most stressful time of year. So in my option, anything which gives you and your wallet a little breathing space is always highly welcomed.

Providing such a rest bite is Robert Dyas which is offering free delivery on all orders placed over £50 before the 9th September. Now, I know it’s not wining lottery but as they say count the pennies and the pounds will follow, but really any excuse to prevent wadding through the Christmas crowds this year is the ultimate welcomed bonus.

This week from Northern Tool & Equipment’s Christmas discounts, up for grabs is a Makita 18V Combi Drill for only £119.99, a saving of £50 from its usual retail price. A great gift for DIYers of all levels and experience, the drill also comes with an extra 2 x 2.0 Ah Ni-CAD batteries, a 27 piece quad driver bit set and free delivery direct from the manufacturer in approx. 2 working days. An easily sorted and much appreciated Christmas present, its perfect for any one of your handy men or lady relatives.

As the season of good will fast approaches, Northern Tool is certainly getting into the spirit of things with its latest offering of discounted items:

• Coinciding nicely with the recent change of the weather, Northern Tool is offering a 5% discount off all heaters in its range. Industrial and heavy duty to patio and indoor halogens, there is a wide selection of heaters to choose from to ensure you don’t get too chilly this weather.

A good deal for anyone who is a regular buyer of tools and equipment, Northern Tool Equipment Co UK ltd have recently bought out their Northern Tool Advantage Card where you get free delivery for a year on all orders up to 30Kg’s. What’s more being a member you would also receive Exclusive Advantage Card member only offers in all of their catalogues redeemable by phone and online and thefirst bite of the cherry when it comes to end of line products at rock bottom prices. All this and only £30 for the year, it’s definitely worth a little investigation.

Tooled-up.com is running a series of discounts across a range of goods in the lead up to Christmas, so if you have a budding DIYer in the family or a love one in the trade, keep your eyes peeled for these special deals.

Summer this year has been abysmal in my opinion so I’m glad to say that the Robert Dyas Summer clearance sale hasn’t followed suit.  Prices have been cut across the shop from garden furniture and electrical appliances to DIY tools and gas barbeques (there’s always hope for next year!). A useful little bargain which caught my attention was the LED Dynamo Torch, reduced to a mere £4.99 in the sale. No need for batteries, this torch has a wind up mechanism where 1 minute of vigorous action will give you 30 minutes of power, great for any home and all outdoor lifestyles.
