Bosch Cordless Tacker PTK 3.6 LI

The Bosch Cordless Tacker would make a great ‘Man gift’ as it can be used for small DIY jobs around the home and outside. It does not require a lot of technicial knowledge to use, the instructions are simple and basically anyone could use this.

We have used it to construct bird houses, hen coops, and even mended the roof on a garden shed. Just press the tacking nose to where you want to tack and press the button – simple. The handle is soft grip so it can be used for longer jobs and does not become uncomfortable to hold. This tacker can really be used on any job if the materials are fairly thin and on soft wood. It would be the ultimate tool for upholstery as the tacks are small enough to remain hidden.

The staples are quite easy to load, (if I can do it anyone can), and with the reload indicator, you will not be caught out half way through a job with no tacks left in the machine.

I like it as its’ small and compact – so no storage problems. Clutter tends to build up in our house as it does in every house, so small is always good!

Available from all good DIY stores.
