"What I love best about Trend is the high quality of their products at an affordable price. From my workshop everyday items like the digital angle finder, digital level box and Air Stealth Respirator right through to the class-leading T14 Router, I can confidently turn to Trend products knowing I am getting good value for money, reliability and excellent build quality."

"I've been using Trend jigs and accessories for a few years now, in particular router jigs and templates with great success, however recently I've started using their cordless tool range and find these great value and excellent quality. My go-to drill driver and router are all Trend now, oh and not to mention the shop vacs which have amazing suction and are quieter than any I've used before. Overall a great company based in the United Kingdom."
