More Accessories

More accessories cover the extra site consumables and add-ons that keep your tools working properly and jobs moving without hold-ups.

When the main kit is fine but the job still will not move, it is usually the accessory you are missing. This part of the range covers the useful extras trades actually burn through on site, from cutting and drilling consumables to fixing, sanding and fitting bits that save repeated trips back to the van. If you already know the job, match the accessory to the material and tool and get stocked up properly.

What Are More Accessories Used For?

Keeping site work moving when you need the right consumable or fitting part to finish a cut, drill a fixing, or clean up an edge without bodging it.
Switching between materials on refurbs and first fix, where timber, metal, masonry, laminate and board all need different accessories if you want a clean result.
Replacing worn parts that slow the job down, such as bits, blades and sanding consumables that stop cutting properly long before the tool itself is finished.
Backing up van stock for maintenance teams and regular site gangs so the small items are there when a quick repair turns into a full afternoon job.

Choosing the Right More Accessories

Sorting the right ones is simple: match the accessory to the tool, the material and how hard you are using it.

1. Start with the Material

If you are cutting timber, metal, board and masonry in the same week, do not try to make one accessory cover the lot. Pick for the material first or you will burn through stock fast and get poor results.

2. Check the Fitting Properly

If the shank, bore, diameter or mounting pattern is wrong, it is no use to you however cheap it looks. Always check what your tool actually takes before ordering, especially on saws, sanders and specialist cutters.

3. Buy for the Pace of the Job

If you are only doing odd snagging, standard consumables usually do the job. If you are on site every day, buy the trade-grade option and buy enough of it, because running out halfway through costs more than the extra pack did.

4. Keep Your Main Tool in Mind

A decent tool only works as well as what you fit to it. If the accessory is the weak point, you get slower cuts, slipping fixings, rough finishes and more strain on the tool itself.

Who Uses These on Site?

Sparkies get through plenty of accessories on first fix and second fix, especially when drilling runs, trimming trunking and driving fixings all day.
Chippies and kitchen fitters rely on the right extras to keep cuts tidy, joints clean and finish work sharp instead of chewing through visible surfaces.
Plumbers and heating engineers keep a spread of spare accessories in the van because awkward pipe routes and mixed materials rarely go to plan.
Maintenance teams and site managers buy these to keep common jobs covered, so nobody loses half a day over a worn bit or missing blade.

Useful Extras That Keep Site Work Moving

These are the add-ons and consumables worth keeping close if you do not want simple jobs turning into wasted time.

1. Spare Consumables

Keep spare bits, blades and abrasives in the van. When one wears out mid-job, the spare stops you standing about with a perfectly good tool and nothing fitted to it.

2. Adaptors and Holders

The right adaptor or holder saves you from forcing the wrong setup just to get the task done. It is a small buy that prevents damaged accessories, poor fit and wasted time.

3. Storage Cases and Organisers

Loose accessories disappear fast on site. A proper organiser keeps sizes, types and spares together so you are not digging through the van for one missing piece.

Choose the Right More Accessories for the Job

Use the job and material to narrow down what you actually need.

Your Job	Category or Type	Key Features
Drilling timber, block or steel on mixed site work	Job-specific drill accessories	Correct material rating, right shank fit, pack sizes that suit repeat use
Cutting sheet materials, timber or metal cleanly	Cutting accessories	Tooth pattern matched to material, correct diameter or fitting, cleaner finish with less strain
Driving fixings all day on first fix and second fix	Bit sets and holders	Common sizes, secure fit in screws, holder length that suits awkward access
Sanding filler, paint or timber before handover	Abrasive accessories	Right grit range, backing to suit the sander, stock for both roughing down and finishing
General van stock for maintenance and snagging	Mixed accessory packs	Useful spread of common consumables, easy storage, quick replacement on the go

Common Buying and Usage Mistakes

Buying by price alone usually ends with the wrong fit or the wrong material rating. Check the tool fitting and what you are working on first, or you will waste both time and stock.
Trying to use one accessory for every material is a false economy. It gives slower work, rougher results and wears the consumable out far quicker than using the proper type.
Ordering singles when you use them every week is asking for delays. If the job burns through bits, blades or abrasives, buy enough to cover the full run of work.
Ignoring wear until performance drops badly puts extra strain on the tool and the user. Replace accessories as soon as cuts slow, fixings slip or finishes start tearing out.

Single Accessories vs Multi Packs vs Mixed Sets

Single Accessories

Best when you know the exact item you need and just want a direct replacement. Good for topping up one size or type, but not ideal if the job will burn through several in a day.

Multi Packs

A better shout for regular trade use because you have spares ready when one wears out. They cost more upfront, but they save repeat orders and stop jobs stalling halfway through.

Mixed Sets

Useful for vans, maintenance work and mixed-site callouts where you do not know exactly what is coming. Less efficient if you only ever use one or two sizes, but handy for covering odd jobs.

Maintenance and Care

Keep Them Clean After Use

Dust, resin, metal swarf and filler all shorten accessory life. A quick clean before they go back in the box stops build-up and keeps performance steady next time out.

Store by Type and Size

Chuck loose accessories in the van and they get damaged, lost or mixed up. Keep them organised so the right size is easy to grab and sharp edges or teeth are protected.

Watch for Wear Early

If cutting slows down, holes scorch, sanding clogs or screw bits start camming out, that accessory is done. Swap it before it damages the workpiece or puts extra load on the tool.

Keep Moisture Off Stored Stock

Damp vans and site boxes are hard on steel accessories and abrasive backings. Store them dry where you can, especially anything with cutting edges or bonded surfaces.

More Accessories FAQs

What are more accessories used for?

They cover the extra consumables, fittings and add-ons that keep tools working properly on site. That means the bits you need for drilling, cutting, sanding, driving fixings or replacing worn items before they start slowing the job down.

How do I choose the right more accessories?

Start with three checks. Make sure it fits the tool, make sure it suits the material, and make sure it is up to the amount of work you are doing. If any one of those is wrong, you will feel it straight away in poor performance or short life.

Are more accessories suitable for trade use?

Yes, provided you buy the right spec for proper site work. Trade users burn through accessories faster than casual users, so it is worth choosing the correct type and keeping spares in stock rather than trying to stretch one item too far.

What should I check before buying more accessories?

Check the fitting, size, material suitability and pack quantity first. It is also worth checking whether you need a cleaner finish, faster stock removal or better durability, because that changes what is right for the job.

Can I buy more accessories online from ITS?

Yes. You can buy more accessories online UK wide from ITS, with the range held in our own warehouse. That means you can order what you need for site work and get it moving fast with next day delivery on stocked lines.
