One in Five Men Hate Doing DIY According to New Survey from Bosch

July 6th, 2010

Bosch’s wide variety of high quality power tools are amongst the most popular tools in the world due to Bosch’s quality, huge range of accessories and fantastic service. However, a recent study commissioned by Bosch shows that even though DIY is usually considered a man’s job, almost one in five men actually hate doing DIY.

22 per cent of the men among the one thousand British people that took part in the study admitted that they didn’t enjoy performing DIY tasks in the home, such as putting up shelves or decorating a room.  A further 40 per cent said that they were too busy to get the jobs done and a third said the reason they didn’t enjoy DIY tasks is that they took up too much time.

Chris Tidy, Bosch’s DIY expert responsible for the survey said: ‘’There was a time when almost every man would love nothing more than heading down to his shed to make something, or indulge in a spot of DIY around the home. But it seems this is no longer the case as a large number of men now see it as a chore rather than a hobby. I believe that no matter who you are, or what the job, DIY can be time and cost effective as well as straightforward with simple step-by-step instructions and light-weight, easy to use power tools from Bosch.”

Not everyone hates DIY though and of those that said they enjoyed DIY, 45 per cent said that they take pride in a well done job and find completing DIY tasks very satisfying, while a further 26 per cent find DIY allows them to express their creativity. Over 25 per cent enjoyed the feeling of having created something unique.

Another interesting result from the survey showed that women are getting more involved in DIY, with over 25 per cent of those polled admitting to being DIY fans, 26 per cent saying they like trying to fixing things around the house and a further 52 per cent of women enjoy doing DIY once in a while.

Chooza SDS Drill is the UK’s leading site for SDS drills and offers a wide range of SDS drills from top global manufacturers including Bosch, Makita and Dewalt. So if you’re one of those people that enjoy DIY and need a new power tool, let us help you make the right selection.
