It is incredibly common that from the day you purchase your first tool, you’re likely to stay with that brand till death do you part. This can make picking a power tool brand a daunting choice, especially if you know someone in the trade and ask for help when picking your first tool.
Today, I’ll be taking a look at the Einhell Power Tool range and explaining why I think, if you’re an avid gardener or DIY fan, then Einhell has everything you need to not only get started, but also be successful in your craft.
1. Is Einhell Good Value for Money?
When looking at Einhell VS DeWalt or Einhell VS Makita (or any other brand), you’ll find that price quite quickly becomes a hot topic of interest. Einhell is a low-cost power tool brand. At its core, Einhell intends to make tools that are accessible to many – be it home owners, DIY users, weekend gardeners or even professional contractors / builders.
But Darrell! “Buy Cheap, Buy Twice!” Yeah sure. If you’re working on the tools every single day – 8 hours a day, you may want to consider going for the most premium of premium brands, but even then, Einhell’s Power X-Change tools are a competitive range at a fraction of the price.
Einhell presents a cost-effective solution. Their range includes garden tools like hedge trimmers, lawn mowers, and power tools such as drills and saws. If you can think of a job that needs doing, you can do it with Einhell. And for the price, the size of the range is incredible.
Below are some starter kits at incredible prices to start you off on your Einhell journey.
2. How dO yOU pOWER Your Einhell Tools?
Just like choosing a football team is a big deal, so is picking a power tool brand. Once you pick one, it takes a lot to swap teams.
Einhell understands this, so they came up with their Power X-Change battery system. This range of tools contains over 250 products (and expanding). All of which are operated by the same battery type.
These 18v batteries come in different sizes, such as 2Ah and 5Ah. But as long as it’s a Power X-Change tool and Power X-Change battery, you can power all your tools on the same system!
With one battery powering your drill, lawnmower, hedge trimmer, and even your impact driver, you save money in the long term and use much less space when storing away your kit. Plus, you’ll always have a charged battery on hand, perfect for those quick fixes that always spring up.
Einhell’s dedication to Power X-Change means that as they roll out new tools, the same Power X-Change batteries will work with them. As time goes on, your batteries become more valuable as the amount of projects you can take on expands!
The Power X-Change system is a solid choice to start up a tool kit and has enough tools to do it all! Check our kit builder out below and get started with Einhell.
3. How Many Tools Does Einhell’s Range Cover?
Einhell’s range of power tools and garden tools features over 250 products to choose from. As said before, if there is a job that you need doing, and you need a power tool, Einhell probably makes it. This means buying into one tool allows you access to a multitude of tools to help you with your projects.
When you have a range as extensive and well-rounded as Einhell, you can also start to create more ‘quality of life’ inspired products such as speakers, dust blowers and more. Below is a video of Dan going through all the weird and wonderful tools that Einhell stocks.

Have you ever bought a brand new piece of tech, really enjoyed it, something goes wrong, and then you can’t get in contact with the company that sold you it / made it? You buy it, and then 2-3 years later, the company that sold you it doesn’t exist, and now you can’t get your screen replaced….terrible.
