Jingle deals, jingle deals, jingle all the way... it's time to open our 2022 Christmas advent calendar!

Just like last year, UK Planet Tools' very own elves are bringing you new discounts every day in the run-up to Christmas, with big savings on your favourite tool brands up until 24th December! Each day, a new tool or accessory will appear on our website at a fantastic price, and the choice to buy will be entirely yours. Our DEALS THAT SLEIGH are the perfect opportunity to grab that stocking filler, personal treat or brushless upgrade... or simply to count down with us.

With deals from Makita, DeWalt, TOUGH MASTER® and more, we think our advent calendar beats a chocolate one any day of the week (okay, you chocoholics; maybe we'll call it a draw). But be quick, as these deals will be over by the time the big day arrives – and we know how fast that approaches!

Want to get a taster for what's in store? We're indulging in the first 7 days together, so get your mulled wines and your mince pies ready for some jolly good deals.

Day 1

Ah, the first day of advent. It's a special one, alright. When you get that first sweet treat and think, 'Finally, I can play Christmas music without someone telling me to turn it off as it's too "early"' (is it ever too early?)

At UK Planet Tools, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas thanks to the DeWalt DCS355N Multi-Tool, our Day 1 deal. This handy machine comes at 22% off and offers a whole host of great features. It's a tree-mendous bit of kit from a trusted brand, with all the accessories needed for a job well done included in the price. Enticing...

Now, about those features:

Ergonomic design: Rubber over mould and an ergonomic handle ensure comfortable use over extended periods, so you can use the DeWalt multi tool with little hand strain
Brushless motor: Standard motors contain carbon brushes that generate friction. This 18v DeWalt tool is brushless to eliminate this wasted energy, offering up to 57% more run time
Bright LED Light: This oscillating multi tool features a bright light that illuminates dark work surfaces for accurate cutting, so you can work in any condition or low lit corner

Day 2

One step closer to the most wonderful time of the year, and one more deal from us. Day 2 is a treat and a half, and one that can fit under anyone's tree. In fact, we can totally picture it with a little BLUE bow on top...

Yes, we're talking about the Makita DHP482Z 18v Combi Drill, an excellent choice if you value brand reputation and quality performance. This one's battery-powered, so that means no trailing wires getting tangled while you complete your drilling tasks. Get the bare unit for the handyperson in your life at 18% off this Christmas.

The DHP482Z has a lot to offer:

Versatile function: Delivering 62Nm of torque, this combi drill can be used as both a drill driver and a hammer drill. A variable speed trigger and forward/reverse push button offer ultimate control
Durable build: Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) allows the 2-speed combi drill to resist dust and drips. The all-metal gearbox and sturdy build guard against accidental damage
Ergonomic design: A weight of only 1.8kg, a length of only 198mm and a rubberised handle grip allow for comfortable use, allowing for use over long periods

Day 3

Day 3 reminds us of gold, like golden tinsel or a golden bauble... twinkly lights, or something (we're trying to be creative here!) We'd also call it a GOLDEN deal, but you'd probably hate us for that... too late.

Funnily enough, it's not gold at all – it's yellow! And it's the TOUGH MASTER® Oscillating Multi Tool, A.K.A. the TM-MT505E. Yes, another multi-tool – but what makes this one so special? Well, it's 25% off and corded, so just plug it into the mains and go; no need for expensive batteries. Oh, and accessories are included with this one, too.

There are so many benefits of the TM-MT505E:

Durable: This powerful, corded multi tool this is made of extremely high-quality materials, with an ABS plastic body and metal gear head. This gives the tool a longer service life
High-performance: This rotary multi tool has a 5 degree oscillating angle, allowing for faster and more precise application. At such speed. you'll be able to get the job done faster
Multi-speed: The 6-level speed selector offers a range from 8000 to 16000 rpm, given you the ability to choose an appropriate speed based on the task at hand

Day 4

4 days in and we can barely contain our excitement... just three weeks until Christmas! And an exciting new tool for your collection (or someone else's). What'll it be today? Something from Makita again? Bosch? Fein? Stanley?

Wrong, it's the Milwaukee M18BQSS-0 18V Cordless 1/4" Sheet Sander Bare Unit (gold stars all around if you guessed that!) The perfect present for a professional (try saying that quickly), the M18BQSS-0 will be sure to go down a treat. Just remind them to use PPE during operation... elf and safety's snow joke. We love ourselves.

But we love this tool more, with rockin' features:

11000-13000 sanding strokes/minute: For quick material removal during the sanding process, the Milwaukee sheet sander offers many strokes per minute, getting your jobs done faster
6 speed settings: Choose from low to high speeds using the 18v Milwaukee sander, allowing you to take your pick depending on the task at hand for optimal results
Universal hook and loop sanding pad: Attach and detach the sanding pad with ease thanks to the hook and loop system, saving you time between tasks

Day 5

We don't know about you, but by this point, we're getting anxious about all the presents we've yet to buy. You've got so many ideas for your sister (fluffy socks to the rescue) but no clue what to get your brother. Until...

...You see what our day 5 deal is: the Stanley STA197518 FatMax Deep Waterproof Pro Organiser – and not just one, but as a set of 2! That means you can get something for your best friend and your sibling in one purchase, taking the pressure off your shoulders (at least a little bit). This set is best for use in the workshop, van or job site.

With plenty of cool benefits:

Durable lid: The Stanley tool organiser has a virtually unbreakable lid thanks to its durable construction, making it safe to use on-site and in tough working environments
Textured grip: The plastic handle on the Stanley tool organizer has a comfortable textured grip, so its easier to carry with you and will cause little hand strain
Clip multiple organisers together: Use the side latches to clip the set together for easy transportation. Bring them along to the job site or store your organisers together

Day 6

Joy to the world, we're 6 deals in. While Santa power naps until Christmas Eve (probably dreaming about all the milk and cookies he's going to get), we're working hard on slashing prices and adding new tools to our Christmas lists.

Like the Bosch 06019J4000 – a 115mm Angle Grinder and our sixth deal of the month. This cordless model would come in handy even to Santa Claus, whose wooden sleigh may become prone to scratches and dents up in the sky. Without a power outlet, only a cordless grinder with sanding capabilities could save the day. Get it at 8% off.

Beyond mythical uses, this grinder is the real deal:

Powerful motor: Delivers power equal to a 1,000 W corded grinder via brushless motor and ProCORE18V battery, with more run time and a longer service life
Increased user control: Drop Control, KickBack Control and an intelligent brake system increase the level of user protection and convenience for a safer performance
Drop Control function: World's first Drop Control function shuts the Bosch angle grinder off immediately in the event of accidentally dropping it on the floor

Day 7

A week into December and we're really feeling the Christmas cheer. Our houses are lit up merry and bright and the present pile is slowly stacking up under the tree. But there's still room for more, so let's check out our day 7 deal.

Anyone can find a companion in our last deal of the week: the WellCut WC-SDB114S 114- Piece Wall-Mounted Screwdriver Set. A household staple and professional's essential, you can't go wrong with this affordable kit, fitting comfortably either on the wall or in a toolbox. At 30% off, it's the best thing since sliced (ginger) bread.

Yule go crackers for its features:

Neat and organised wall-mount rack: This screwdriver set has a compact wall-mount, is easy to install, is neatly labelled and will allow you to know where your tools are at all times
High Grade S2 steel: This screw driver set has a massive selection of interchangeable bits that will ensure no excuses are made when it comes to having the right size screw bit
Ergonomic Design: The handle is ergonomically designed to have a soft grip for comfortable use. Premium materials make up the build quality for a professional experience
