Tool-NET Sees Sales Increase From Unusually Hot Spring

Online tool superstore Tool-NET reported today a sharp spike in sales of gardening equipment which appears to track the pattern of good weather in recent weeks.

The unseasonably hot March weather culminated in a scorching weekend on the 24th and 25th, with Londoners experiencing temperatures several degrees higher than some Mediterranean holiday destinations. April has so far failed to deliver the heat of March, living up to its traditional billing as a month of showers.

Tool-NET claims that the significant growth in its sales of gardening and DIY tools correlates with the warm weather, with gardeners enjoying heat of the sun while they get going on those home and garden projects neglected over the winter months.

Sales figures released recently by the British Retail Consortium suggest a similar picture. Retail sales rose year-on-year by 1.3% in March, with online sales rising by 13.9%, thanks largely to money spent on clothes, barbecue foods and gardening goods.

Tool-Net indicates that the size of its range, a trustworthy reputation and competitive pricing has placed the company in an excellent position to benefit from the warmer weather. Tool-NET has become a destination shop for both tradespeople and homeowners who need the right tool for the job. Now stocking more than 6500 power tools, gardening accessories, fixings, fastenings, hand tools, ancillaries and consumables, Tool-NET dispatches more than 98% of all orders the same day. Each order is covered by a fair returns policy, with customers able to receive refunds when returning items within 7 working days.

New gardening lines which benefitted from the rash of fair-weather gardening include both innovative new products and old favourites alike.

One new gardening tool which has attracted a great deal of interest is a cordless multi-tool which can convert from a broom to a grass trimmer, a long-reach hedge trimmer and a rake. Sales of the CEL-UK PS1 Powerstick have shot up in the warmer weather.

More traditional offerings from Black & Decker have also fared well in the fair weather. New lines from this respected brand include chainsaws, hedge trimmers, line trimmers, blower/vacs and lawn mowers.

With an ever-expanding catalogue, competitive pricing and fast dispatch times, Tool-NET can help its customers find the right tool at the right price, come rain or shine.
