How to choose a chainsaw?
A typical buyer says: “I need a chainsaw, but I don’t know which one.” The catalogue has petrol, electric and battery models, guide bars from a few centimetres to half a metre, power in watts and kilowatts — and every number seems important. In practice one question narrows the choice: what will you cut most often, and for how long at a stretch? This guide helps you answer it step by step. Model examples come from the Chainsaws range, which includes the brands Scheppach, DCK, Worx and HiKOKI. We do not list prices here because prices and availability change — check the current information on ..

How to choose a generator?
A typical buyer says: “I need a generator, but I don’t know which one.” That is normal — the box has kW, kVA, 230 V, 400 V, petrol, diesel, inverter, and every number makes you think it is the most important one. In reality the key question is different: what do you want to keep running when the power is out. This guide is the first step. It helps narrow the choice, and for every deeper question it points to a separate article. Model examples come from the Generators range, where the brand is Scheppach. We do not list prices here — they change, so check the current price and availability on th..

How to calculate generator power?
“How many kilowatts do I need?” — the question we hear most often. The answer is not one universal number. You can calculate it in a few steps if you know what you will connect to the generator and how those appliances behave at start-up. This article supplements the main guide how to choose a generator. We do not promise specific appliance wattages here: they depend on model, age and mode. Always check the label on the appliance or its manual. Which appliances belong in a home backup kit is a different page — generator for home. This page is only the method for adding up a load you have alrea..

Inverter generator — when do you need one?
If you are buying a generator to keep home electronics running — a computer, router, boiler controls, chargers — sooner or later you will run into the word “inverter”. For some it is a must, for others an unnecessary extra. This article helps you see which one you are. The basic logic: how to choose a generator. Range: Generators, brand Scheppach. What is different about an inverter generator In a conventional (AVR) generator the engine turns the alternator at a speed that sets the AC frequency. In an inverter generator the current is converted electronically, so the output voltage is usually..

Petrol or diesel generator?
The choice between petrol and diesel often seems tied to fuel price. In fact it is about how often and how long you will use the generator. If the power is out now and then for a couple of hours, that is one question; if the generator runs for days on a site, it is quite another. The overall selection guide: how to choose a generator. Here — only the fuel question. Range: Generators, brand Scheppach. Prices change — check the card.

Generator for home — how to choose?
When the power is out for four hours, you realise how much of daily life depends on it. At the same time, nobody buys a generator to “power the whole house” — it is expensive and often unnecessary. It is wiser to decide what you would keep, and then choose the power. This article is about a generator for a home or private house. The main guide: how to choose a generator. Range: Generators, brand Scheppach. Prices change — check the product card. Three levels: how much do you need 1.

230 V or 400 V generator?
Many buyers think 400 V is “more powerful and therefore better”. But it is not a question of power; it is a question of voltage and number of phases. If you have no three-phase load, a 400 V output can be an unnecessary complication — and sometimes a misleading number on the box. The main guide: how to choose a generator. Here — one question: 230 V or 400 V. Range: Generators, brand Scheppach. Check prices and availability on the card. 230 V and 400 V in plain terms 230 V (single phase). This is the same voltage as in ordinary home sockets. Most appliances run on it: lighting, fridge, kettle,..

How to choose a compressor?
If you stand in front of air compressors and only compare “8 bar” or “50 litres”, you can easily buy something too big, too small, or simply wrong. A compressor is not “bigger is better”. It is an air source for a specific job — and the job decides how much air you need, for how long, and how quietly. This guide is practical: how to think before you look at price. Examples are from the inventars.lv range (Scheppach, Ecomax). We skip prices here — they change; the numbers on the card and what you do on a Tuesday evening in the garage matter more. Start with the job, not the catalogue Befor..

Which compressor for the garage?
A garage compressor is rarely a factory shift. It is usually several short jobs across the week: tyres, dust blow-off, wheel work, light stapling/nailing, sometimes small-part painting. That is different from industrial duty — and from a handheld travel unit you only take on the road. Basics: how to choose. Range: Compressors. Tools: air tools. Which garage jobs actually use air Tyres and blow-off. Short cycles. Compact units fit: HC06, Airforce 7, Ecomax Silent 6L. If that is 90% of use, paying for 100 L “just in case” rarely pays off. Stapling / nailing. Pulses. The tank helps “pull” a shot..

Compressor for air tools
An air tool is not “an electric tool with a different plug”. It only works when it gets enough air at the right pressure. The tank is storage; the pump is supply. If supply lags, you feel it immediately: torque drops, drilling stalls, impact goes soft. Basics: how to choose. Range: Compressors · air tools. One simple formula Take tool L/min from the card. Add reserve for longer work / hose / filters. Compare with compressor delivery at working pressure. Intake-only numbers are optimistic. Confirm max bar covers tool working pressure. The tank helps pulses and fewer starts. It does not repla..
