Rating of the best Russian manufacturers of construction tools for 2022

If the construction tool can be divided by area of ​​​​application (household and professional), then its purpose will still remain the same: the saw will cut, the grinder will grind, and the drill will drill holes. However, it is in the area of ​​use that the frequency of work, their volume and total duration differ. It's one thing when you need to nail a shelf or make minor repairs once a year, and it's quite another thing when a tool needs to be used daily for several hours at a construction site. Naturally, household and professional samples will differ in price.

It is worth noting the differences between the Russian instrument and foreign, which are intended for domestic use. Most foreign models, to put it mildly, are focused on one-time use, therefore, they (namely, their domestic versions) usually do not include a long service life. A foreigner without a twinge of conscience will throw away the tool after completing a certain amount of housework. Russian models are focused on long-term use and are aimed at operating the device according to the principle “until it is completely broken, it is always needed.” However, building devices and devices with a short life cycle have recently begun to appear on the Russian market, which it is not a pity to throw away after a couple of uses. The main difference between a professional tool and a household one is that the former is much more maintainable.

General information about construction tools

The considered type of devices is divided into mechanized and manual. For industrial purposes, there are also machine variations, which include:

• Drill;
• cutters;
• Cutters, etc.

The main requirements for any building tool are:

• Light weight;
• Portability and mobility;
• Savings in terms of labor costs;
• Efficiency and safety.

It is safety that should be given the greatest importance when using construction equipment. There is an unwritten building rule that any construction tool from any category must be inspected for performance at least once every 10 days, and not just immediately before its use.

Construction tool classification

Manual models

They are intended for finishing or general construction work. These samples do not have motors and complex mechanisms in their design. Depending on the area of ​​​​use, it is possible to distinguish their internal division:

• Carpentry - used for wood processing, wood furniture production, wood construction, the creation of applied objects and products from this material. Such tools include chisels, planers, saws, jigsaws.
• Transportation - they are used to lift and move various heavy loads (buckets, jacks, wheelbarrows, carts, etc.).
• Construction and assembly - they are intended for the manufacture / fastening of parts and for the processing of various materials.They can be divided into assembly (pliers, pistols, sledgehammers, keys, hammers) and metalwork (hacksaws, saws, tongs).
• General construction (for excavation or preparatory work) - probably the most ancient type of construction tool, which includes shovels, picks, rakes. As a rule, they are used in the household, in professional production, manual labor is practiced little.
• Finishing - these devices are used for manipulating building mixtures and mortars. These include brushes, brushes, rollers, trowels, plumb lines.
• Measuring - it can be different indicators, levels, depth gauges, sound level meters and levels.

Mechanized models

This type of tool is necessarily equipped with a motor and involves operator control. Based on the drive options, mechanical devices are divided into:

• Manual (driven by muscle power);
• Mechanical;
• Electrical.

Specific examples of mechanized models include drills, drilling and crushing tools, screwdrivers and electric saws, and mowers.

Separately, it is worth considering mechanical mounting devices. They are designed to simplify the work of the operator as much as possible, making the work more efficient. Their use increases productivity and significantly reduces time costs. At the same time, the level of labor safety is increasing. Mounting samples are small in size and light in weight - these are the qualities that simplify their management. A wrench is a prime example of a popular mounting hardware. Depending on the design, it can be special, monolithic, composite or adjustable.

Characteristics of a professional building tool

Such a toolkit is used in an industrial or professional field, where it must be in operation for one or two full shifts in a row. Accordingly, the qualities of strength and versatility of these models should be of a high level. They will be distinguished:

• Increased productivity - Equipped with a powerful engine, you can get more work done in a relatively short time. Their efficiency will always be higher than that of semi-professional or household appliances.
• Reliability and wear resistance - all motor components, gearboxes and other parts of professional equipment are always tested in production laboratories. They must be able to withstand continuous loads in order to be able to use them almost without interruption for a long time.
• Advanced adjustment/setting options - professional devices have more operating modes than household ones. For example, the speed setting of a drill on professional equipment easily reaches 20 modes, while a household appliance is unlikely to have 5. Thus, it is possible to expand the scope of use of the equipment when it comes to working on a specific type of material.
• Stability of work in various conditions - the design of professional devices will allow them to be used on the streets, in dusty rooms, and in rooms with high humidity. In the manufacture of their cases, as a rule, metal or impact-resistant plastic interspersed with reinforced fiberglass is used, which will protect internal parts from accidental impacts.
• Extended service life - due to the fact that professional models are made of durable and high-quality materials, this implies more reliable protection systems that prevent breakdowns, various overheating, short circuits and jamming of equipment. And all this prolongs the life of the device itself.

It should be mentioned that the above design features require significant investment in the production of this toolkit, which consists of the need to use high-quality materials, mandatory quality control, the introduction of optional systems and functions. All this is the reason for the high price of a professional construction tool. Among the shortcomings can be noted a relatively large weight and large dimensions. This is all a consequence of the mandatory automation of models. For example, the weight of a household hammer is 2.2 kilograms, and its professional model will already have a mass of 11 kilograms. Naturally, sufficient physical strength and special training are required to work with such a sample, however, the functionality of a professional device is much wider.

Nevertheless, it is not necessary to use professional equipment for one-time household work, because it will be economically inexpedient. A powerful motor will create more noise, an untrained operator will get tired faster, and the functionality of the device will not be fully used.

Characteristics of household building tools

For domestic use, the performance of repair or small construction tasks is typical. In fact, this is a secondary load on the equipment, which does not imply its daily use.Accordingly, home appliances have the following qualities:

• Affordability is the main and best feature of amateur models, which allows you to purchase a fairly high-quality product at a low cost. It will be inferior to professional samples only in its functionality, which is not really needed for short-term use. The low cost is due to the fact that the release requires less labor and materials;
• Convenient operation - due to its simple design and ergonomic control, the use of household construction tools, even for an inexperienced operator, will not cause problems. Moreover, a low-power motor will not make the product too bulky, but only provide it with compactness and a low noise level;
• Increased operational safety - some design options of this type of equipment will help the user avoid potentially injuring situations. For example, the trigger lock button will protect against involuntary activation, and the power supply indicator will indicate that the device is still connected to the network. Rubberized handles prevent slipping of the palms and ensure a secure grip;
• Extended equipment - usually, household construction equipment comes with a case, a set of equipment and other devices for its maintenance. From this it is clear that the buyer immediately receives all the necessary items for high-quality work, he does not have to buy anything special, choosing a part for a specific sample of the device. This state of affairs significantly saves money and time, which eliminates the possibility of an unforeseen interruption in work in order to find and purchase the necessary additional elements.

The “cons” of household models include reduced power indicators, low productivity, limited operational resource, and the impossibility of daily long-term work. However, it would be more literate to call this not shortcomings, but limitations characteristic of this class of construction tools. They do not mean at all that the devices are worse than professional ones, they just have to be used in accordance with certain tasks.

IMPORTANT! In principle, a household construction tool can be used every day with a duration of 1 to 3 hours, but this is only subject to the periodic “rest” framework - 15 minutes of work for 15 minutes of downtime. If it is felt that the body of the device began to heat up faster, then breaks should be taken more often. This will prevent both overheating and related breakdowns, which, often, even under warranty will be impossible to eliminate.

Characteristics of a semi-professional building tool

It is immediately necessary to make a reservation that not every Russian manufacturer of construction tools has similar models in its sales line. Simply put, such devices are a kind of "golden mean", but they are not particularly popular in the Russian Federation. To be more precise, semi-professional samples are the same household models, but with extended functionality. With their help, you can perform more intensive work at home or perform secondary tasks at a professional level. Nevertheless, these devices are not designed for long-term operation and can only ensure the implementation of auxiliary procedures for 4-5 hours per shift.

The main problem of choosing the type of construction tools under consideration is that the border between it and the amateur one is rather conditional, and even I focus on the price, this framework is not always possible to accurately determine. Moreover, the Russian manufacturer generally does not like to directly divide his tool into classes, limiting himself only to the description of technical characteristics. It turns out that only based on the technical part, you can more or less convincingly determine the class. This can be done by paying attention to the indicators of power and performance, the presence of special modes and functions, their number. The higher and wider these parameters, the more accurate the assumption that the device belongs to a professional group.

Organization and economics of the use of construction tools in the Russian Federation

The use of small-scale mechanization facilities is considered a high-efficiency measure that allows you to reduce the cost of manual labor while spending little on construction tools. Current trends are such that construction sites are already trying not to use labor operations without mechanized devices. At the same time, at construction sites, the safety of tools and their practical performance should be ensured.

Regarding Russia, the country has developed special standards for the rational use of construction tools, the need for it, assembly equipment and mechanization tools, regulatory kits for construction teams. Therefore, it is domestic manufacturers that are guided by these standards when producing their products. Thus, it is much easier to choose the right kit for certain construction tasks from a Russian manufacturer than from a foreign one.When carrying out production, Russian companies calculate the possible number of machine hours that will be available for a particular product. Accordingly, such a tool will be easy to carry out in accounting - a device worth up to 40,000 rubles and with a service life of up to one year is accounted for as a material not subject to depreciation.

Conclusion

When starting repair or construction work in an apartment or other premises, it is necessary to understand that the purchased tool must serve for construction and repair for more than one year. Therefore, it is important to know its main parameters, on the basis of which a purchase is made. A wide range of functions is already characteristic of Russian devices today, such as, for example, devices for grinding, processing, plastering, cutting materials and cleaning surfaces. From this it is clear that the choice in favor of the Russian instrument will be a good decision, given the adequate ratio of its price and quality indicators.
