(Australia-NewsWire.Com, September 07, 2012 ) Sydney New South Wales -- It seems like DIY, or Do-It-Yourself is a phrase that is become more and more commonly known, as more people in Australia and throughout the world become interested in completing their own home projects. Experts attribute the rise in DIY projects to several factors, including lagging economies which mean more people want to take on projects to save money, as well as the growing popularity of television shows focusing on do-it-yourself home renovations and projects.
The owner of Neapean Tools has seen a definite increase in homeowners interested in becoming so-called ‘weekend warriors’ over recent years, and as the growing interest in performing one’s own house work has accelerated, so has the need for not only tools, but also more powerful tools.
“We see so many individuals coming in these days, and they have a whole list of DIY projects they’re looking to take on,” said the owner of Nepean Tools. “Prior to the past few years, the majority of our customers were tradespeople or small business owners, but now we see a great deal of customers who are regular homeowners who want to perform their own work. We have customers coming in looking for everything from tool boxes in Sydney to pressure washers in Sydney, and they often have a list a mile long of home projects they’re planning to complete.”
The owner of Nepean Tools says while many of their customers have done their research on home repair and renovation, and have a clear idea of how to complete their project, there are still others who need a lot of guidance.
“We see a lot of customers who come in and they have an idea of what they want to do, or the project they want to take on but they really don’t know what kind of tools they’re going to need,” said the store owner. “That’s why we’re here. We’ve become very accustomed to helping these kinds of customers, and tools can be very confusing, for example, a lot of people may know they’re looking for a drill in Sydney, but they don’t know the advantages of purchasing a diamond core drill in Sydney. We’re the experts when it comes to the tools, and that’s why we’re a great resource for people who are hoping to take on any type of DIY project.”
The owner of Nepean Tools believes that the number of people taking on their own home improvement projects will continue to increase in the future, as more people realize that it’s both cost-effective and can be enjoyable.
“For a lot of people, this has gone from a way to save some money, to something that is a hobby,” said the store owner. “They look forward to each weekend, because it means a new DIY project, and in many cases a trip to us for a new toy. For the true lover of DIY projects, coming to us is like a holiday.”
