Toolbook helps you explore and compare power tools, hand tools and arborist equipment collected from Czech shops and manufacturers. It brings products into a shared catalogue with consistent technical filters, making it easier to compare the specifications that matter to you. Use it to research your next purchase or keep track of equipment in your workshop.

  • Browse categories and subcategories with large product images.
  • Search by product name, brand or technical parameter.
  • Filter by relevant specifications, such as power, weight or battery system.
  • Compare products within the same subcategory.
  • Mark equipment as owned or wanted in My Workshop, saved in your browser.
  • Check dated, approximate prices and continue to the original seller.

How to start: choose a category or search for a tool.

Changelog

0.8.0 — 2026-10-19

  • Added: STIHL (stihl.cz) saws as a source, about 50 products: petrol, battery (AK, AS, ALLPRO/AP) and electric chainsaws, one-hand mini pruners and pole pruners. Prices are the manufacturer's recommended prices.
  • Added: engine displacement, power, bar length, chain pitch and gauge, weight and battery system for STIHL saws; saws of the same battery system can be compared.
  • Changed: chainsaw and pole saw summaries show the power in kW and the battery system; a mains saw is called electric, not cordless; .325" and .404" pitches are printed exactly.

0.7.1 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: Husqvarna (husqvarna.com/cz) as a source, about 570 products: chainsaws, pole saws, chains and guide bars, trimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, batteries, chainsaw protective clothing and PPE, axes and wedges, oils and bags. Prices are the manufacturer's recommended prices.
  • Added: chain pitch and gauge as comparable parameters, and engine displacement, power, bar length and battery system read from Husqvarna's specifications.
  • Changed: a site's robots.txt Crawl-delay is honored when it is longer than our own delay.

0.7.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: the whole Skyman arborist range (about 4,300 products instead of 200): chains and bars, pruning tools, chainsaw protective clothing, work clothing and gloves, slings and cord, throwlines, descenders and ascenders, lanyards and fall arrest, rigging and anchors, winches, climbing spurs, first aid and rescue, bags, communication and lighting, tree care, spare parts.
  • Added: batteries and chargers and cordless garden tools under Power tools.
  • Changed: the first full Skyman crawl takes about 3.5 hours; later runs only refresh a seventh of the products per day.

0.6.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: a Data collection page (Logs, then "Data collection") for the operator: whether a run is going and how far it is, when the last one finished, products per shop and per category, how many are uncategorized, and a "Start ingest now" button (all shops or one) with a confirmation.
  • Fixed: starting an ingest by hand no longer returns 403 in production; the Logs and Data collection endpoints now open only through the password prompt, with a secret that nginx adds and the app checks.
  • Changed: a manual ingest no longer stops when the request that started it ends.

0.5.1 — 2026-10-18

  • Changed: improved figures reach products already in the catalog on the next start; no re-fetch is needed.
  • Fixed: rope strength (MBS) is now read from the many ways shops print it, in kN, daN or kgf, so most ropes, carabiners and pulleys show it; figures for an eye splice, a knot or a pulley becket are no longer mixed in.
  • Fixed: weight per metre ("104 g / m") is never shown as a rope weight; power and bar length are read from the figure that carries the unit ("18 V – 900 W", "330 mm").
  • Added: working load (WLL/MWL) and blade length for more tools; rope material is cleaned ("100% polyester" becomes "polyester").
  • Changed: richer product summaries as a result.

0.5.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: every tool gets a short description of its own, built from its parameters (for example "Cordless drill, 18 V, 60 Nm, 1.4 kg"), on cards and in the product dialog.
  • Changed: the search also finds tools by those parameters ("22 kN", "18 V").

0.4.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: the catalog is split into categories and subcategories (Arborist & forestry: chainsaws, pole saws, hand saws, ropes, pulleys, harnesses, carabiners, helmets & PPE, wedges & felling tools; Power tools: drills & screwdrivers).
  • Added: a landing page with category tiles and counts, breadcrumbs, subcategory tiles and a category tree in the filter panel (also on phones); every category has a shareable link.
  • Added: an "Uncategorized" bucket for tools that are not mapped yet.
  • Changed: filters and comparison follow the chosen category; only tools of one subcategory can be compared.
  • Changed: pole saws are now listed separately from chainsaws.

0.3.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: approximate prices ("cca 3 490 Kč" with the date they were read) on cards, in the product dialog and in the compare table, where the cheapest is highlighted.
  • Added: "Max. price" filter and sorting by price; every product links to the shop for the current price.
  • Changed: tools without a price are re-read daily until the shop gives one.

0.2.1 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: Toolbook is published at toolbook.tomlabs.xyz and listed in the TomLabs app store.
  • Added: cookie consent banner and anonymous traffic measurement (Google Analytics, only after Accept); a Cookies link in the footer reopens the choice.
  • Changed: the Logs view requires a password on the public site.

0.2.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: arborist and forestry gear from Skyman: chainsaws and pole saws, hand saws, ropes, carabiners, helmets, harnesses, pulleys, wedges and felling tools.
  • Added: unified parameters for this gear: guide bar length, engine displacement, rope diameter, breaking strength, working load and material, with filters.
  • Added: compare up to four tools of one category side by side, with only-differences and best-value highlighting; the selection is kept in the browser.
  • Changed: filters and cards adapt to what the current results have (no torque slider for ropes, no Power filter without powered tools).

0.1.0 — 2026-10-18

  • Added: first slice - catalog of cordless drills and screwdrivers from Bauhaus with filters by brand, voltage and battery system.
  • Added: product cards with technical parameters and a link to the shop.
  • Added: My Workshop (owned / wanted), stored in the browser.
  • Added: /health, Logs page, System / Light / Dark theme.
