Any job large or small needs hand tools to get some portion of the job done. Hammers, pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers and more comprise the category of hand tools. To complicate matters, some of these small hand tools have electric counterparts, so when do you use just the tools and when do you use the hand power tools?

Electric hand tools such as hammers and screwdrivers are usually more effective than the non-electric kind because they speed up getting the job done. Another factor is choosing the correct size hand tools for the job at hand. Your industrial hand tools provider can assist you in choosing the correct tool and size for the job at hand.

1. Choose wholesale hand tools from vendors.

2. Buy professional tools for your business.

3. Get the accessories you need for your hand tools.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy industrial hand tools wholesale from vendors


Car mechanics know the value of a good hand tool set, so they usually buy from a wholesale vendor that regularly visits the garage. Likewise, in the construction field, there are electric hand tools vendors providing quality hand tool sets at wholesale prices.

I recommend: Snap-on runs regular routes to garages and car dealerships offering electric hand tools and small hand tools to mechanics at wholesale prices. They can open an account for you, which you pay by directly debiting your pay check or in cash. You can arrange payment terms for your tools as well. SK Hand Tool offers a lifetime warranty on hand tools. Look at their entire line of hammers, screwdrivers, pliers and much more.

Purchase professional hand power tools for your business


Industrial strength hand tools live up to the beating you give them in your carpentry or construction business. Most professionals go through dozens of hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and pliers in a year's time that eats away at the business profits.

I recommend: Craftsman provides an industrial strength hand tool and hand tool sets that will not break the bank. Sears services all hand tools warranties directly. If your tool fails, just return it the nearest Sears store where they repair it free of charge.

Choose accessories for your industrial tools


No matter the job, make sure you have the right screwdriver bit, knee pads, tool belt and other accessories you need.

I recommend: Time Motion Tools offers knife sharpeners, organizer bags, wall baskets and more. Find the right accessories for your hand tools here. Professional Equipment offers a full line of hand tools accessories including utility knife blades, socket wrench extensions and heavy-duty job site radio with charger. Look for the accessory you need from their large selection.


Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Your hand tool manufacturers warranty is limited and usually covers one year. Find out if an extended warranty is available and exactly what it covers and for how long a period. Replacing tools is very expensive so the additional coverage may save this business expense.
