It's 'April Tools Day' for Screwfix Customers

YEOVIL, England, April 1, 2011 - April 1st is long known as the day when pranks, too-good-to-be-true
opportunities and jokes come to the fore, but this April Fools Day Screwfix
has a genuine offer for its tradesman - as it launches a three-day event
called April Tools Day.

And to celebrate, the leading trade retailer has released its top ten
tools categories, featuring those power tools that are most-used, most-loved
and most-valued by its trade customers -some of which will feature in the
line-up of fantastic deals on power tools, hand tools and accessories
throughout the event.

Unsurprisingly, as the must-have for all trades, cordless drills come in
at the number one spot, followed by grinders and chasers, corded SDS drills,
air tools and accessories.

Sanders and polishers also feature in the top ten, along with heavy duty
circular saws, technical welding devices and jigsaws.
