Alright, lads and lasses, it’s time to talk about something that’s going to change the way you shop for your tools. We’re talking about utilising cashback sites. Let’s face it, we all know that tools and materials aren’t exactly cheap. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, this is going to be music to your ears.

Why Should Handymen in the UK Care About Cashback?

First things first, let’s talk about the obvious: you’re spending money on tools and materials anyway, right? Between your power drills, saws, hammers, and that endless supply of screws (which mysteriously vanish into thin air), it all adds up. So why would you not want to get some of that cash back in your pocket while you buy the stuff you need? Sounds too good to be true? Trust us, it’s not.

Cashback sites offer a simple way for you to earn money back every time you buy tools, materials, or other bits and bobs you need for the job. 

How Does the Cashback Programme Work?

You simply sign up for a cashback programme, search for your chosen retailer or category, click on the link they provide to the retailer, and whenever you purchase tools or building supplies from participating retailers, you earn cashback.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Sign up to a cashback platform (it’s usually free, so no need to worry about hidden fees).
• Browse for your tools or supplies (whether it’s a new drill set, paintbrushes, or the latest gadget you definitely need).
• Make your purchase and, boom, you earn cashback.
• The best part? You can either transfer the cashback to your bank account or use it for future purchases. It’s like a discount, but better—because you get actual money back.

Why Every UK Handyman Should Be Doing This

1. Save on Tools: Let’s face it, tools can be expensive. With cashback, you’re effectively knocking a chunk off your next purchase. And who doesn’t love a good deal? Plus, you’re likely going to be buying these tools anyway—so why not get something back for your effort?
2. Hassle-Free: With cashback sites, you have to shop online. This for us makes life so much easier. The queue to collect purchases normally moves a lot faster than the one to make purchases in-store.
3. Earn While You Work: Imagine having a little extra pocket change to spend on a cold pint after a long day’s work (or, more realistically, a strong cup of tea). That’s what cashback can do for you. If you’re a pro, this is like free money for doing what you already do. Whether you’re buying power tools or DIY essentials, every purchase can earn you cashback.
4. No Gimmicks: Unlike those pesky “limited time” offers or “buy one, get one free” deals that never quite live up to the hype, cashback is simple and straightforward. You get cash back every time, no tricks involved.

Where Can Handymen Get Cashback?

You might be wondering, “Where do I sign up?” Well, there are plenty of cashback platforms out there for handymen in the UK, and many popular stores (like B&Q, Screwfix, and Wickes) are part of the cashback game. Some of the most popular cashback sites include:

• TopCashback: One of the biggest players in the UK, with loads of retailers offering cashback deals.
• Quidco: Another fantastic site that works with a wide range of stores and offers great deals on tools.
• Rakuten: Not just for gadgets and gear, Rakuten has deals across all kinds of shopping categories, including DIY.

A Word of Caution: Don’t Forget to Compare

One thing to keep in mind: not all cashback deals are created equal. Some retailers offer better rates than others, so always be sure to compare prices and cashback offers before pulling the trigger. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned—and that extra £10 can buy you a nice new hammer.

Get Cash Back on Your Tools—What Are You Waiting For?

So, to all you UK handymen and handywomen!, it’s time to start earning cashback on the tools you’re already buying. With cashback, you’ll be able to save money on everything from power tools to paint, all while making your job a little bit easier—and a lot more affordable.

 We would also recommend waiting until the end of the year to collect your earnings. That way, it can feel like a nice little Christmas bonus which can brighten up your day in the winter months.
