Toolstop Podcast #32 – Draper Tools

Neil had to travel to Southampton without me this time as he spent two days enjoying the hospitality of Draper Tools. I have to say, I’m jealous, having listened to some of the audio interviews Neil recorded. Draper is know for it’s testing processes, and Neil catches up with the guys in the stress testing department, and also picks the brains of the warehouse managers regarding the technology they use to make sure the tools are delivered to you in a timely fashion. Technology is the order of the day and I’m looking forward to seeing the video footage from the trip, which we’ll make available here, on YouTube and on Facebook.

Black & Decker VH900 Vacuum Cleaner – Presented By Craig

Craig demos the Black & Decker VH900 Corded Handheld Vacuum Cleaner. This was Craig’s first time on Toolstop TV, but we happen to think he did very well indeed.

This is a useful piece of iconic Black and Decker hardware, especially if keeping your car, boat or caravan clean and tidy is a priority. The features include cyclonic action, Easy Empty system (notice how well Craig shows this off! He’s a natural) and a blowing facility allowing you to use the device to inflate air beds, etc.

It’s a corded vacuum cleaner, fitted with a 6m cable and has a bag full of accessories, so there’s no excuse to keep your car clear of crisps and the other detritus children tend to leave in their wake.
Pick one up today from Toolstop.
