NEWS Shopper has five Honda prize bags to give away to brighten up winter and make DIY easier.

Winter can be really hard for builders and tradesmen. Not only do they have to motivate themselves to contend with cold and wet weather, but the short, dark days make it hard for people working outdoors to complete a full day.

While many are tempted to 'down tools' when darkness descends at 4pm, builders and tradespeople still need to meet customer demands, often with tight deadlines.

A lack of natural daylight can also make working conditions unsafe, restricting working hours and making jobs longer to finish.

However, these days work doesn't need to stop early because of a lack of daylight. Reliable, durable and efficient generators, like those from Honda, are the professional's choice, and are designed to help tradesmen work under all conditions.

Generators have become an important part of a tradesperson's tool kit, and are now highly energy-efficient machines built to deliver the power required to keep the lights on throughout this winter.

They can even make sure the tea is flowing all day!

Enter this competition to brighten up winter and win a Honda prize bag containing a ten-pocket leather tool belt, a beanie and a thermal flask.

There are five prizes bag to be won.
