Best Tools & Hardware (2026 Buyer's Guide)

Every tools & hardware we stock, ordered by how little there is to warn you about. Each product's recorded drawbacks are listed on its page, so the ranking can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Which tools & hardware has the fewest recorded drawbacks?

BEHR Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel Paint, 5 Gallon, with 3 recorded drawbacks against it. Coverage is quoted at 250 to 400 sq ft per gallon, and the low end is the honest one over a colour change or bare drywall -- a 5 gallon pail covers about 1,600 sq ft in two coats.

#1 Best Overall Pick3 recorded drawbacks

BEHR Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel Paint, 5 Gallon

Coverage is quoted at 250 to 400 sq ft per gallon, and the low end is the honest one over a colour change or bare drywall -- a 5 gallon pail covers about 1,600 sq ft in two coats. Eggshell is the sheen that washes without flashing, which is why it suits hallways and kids' rooms where flat paint marks and semi-gloss shows every roller lap. It is paint and primer in one, which is true over a similar colour and not true over bare drywall, dark colours or stains -- those still need a dedicated primer.

Why It Wins:

  • About 1,600 sq ft of two-coat coverage per pail
  • Eggshell sheen washes without flashing
  • Low odour and low VOC

#2 Runner-Up / Value Pick3 recorded drawbacks

Bosch Bulldog Xtreme 1 in. SDS-Plus Corded Rotary Hammer

SDS-plus is the specification that matters: the bit locks into the chuck and is driven by a piston rather than gripped by jaws, which is why this drills concrete that stops a hammer drill outright. 2.0 ft-lb of impact energy is the honest measure of a rotary hammer, not the wattage -- an 8 amp motor delivering 2.0 ft-lb outperforms a larger motor delivering less. It is corded, which for a tool used in bursts against concrete is an advantage rather than a compromise: no battery to run flat halfway through an anchor.

Key Strengths:

  • 2.0 ft-lb of impact energy through an SDS-plus chuck
  • Three modes: rotation only, hammer only, and both
  • Vario-lock positions the chisel at 36 angles
