Tools & Fixings

There is absolutely no replacement for buying the right tool for the job. The wrong tool or fixing for that matter can very quickly turn a 10 minute task into an hour long graft or worse.

The wrong fixing for the job can lead to structural failings, leaks and worse. Something such as a jubilee clip can be purchased in various grades of steel, in harsh environments this could impact the longevity of the product significantly.

If in doubt call us and ask, we can put you in touch with experts who can help you find the right tool or fixing to make your project easier.

This ultimately comes down to how much your value your time. Both tools and fixings are an investment that can stop you from wasting your time for example;

A good quality tool will do the job better, quicker, last longer and will be less likely to fail. The final point is an important one as it is your time on the line when a an essential tool fails half way through a task meaning you have to return to site another day.

Spending a little more on quality fixings in a similar way will ensure that you are less likely to need to return to site to carry out repairs or remedy failures such as leaks. Some failures could even result in damage to other items resulting in costly insurance claims for flood damages or worse.

No Name or Big Brand? It is always a good question. In a world where it is often hard to tell if you are buying from a third party seller in another country buying from a big brand is often the safest choice.

A big brand will have an investment in protecting their brand, meaning more stringent quality testing. For you as the consumer this means that you can have more trust that the product will perform better and last longer than no name brands seen on other websites such as 'FLNHSD' and 'XYNDING' (even if they have paid for 1000's of reviews to make them seem trustworthy).

This leads us onto the next point when buying your tools or fixings...

Make sure you purchase your tools and fixings from a trusted store that has good feedback, is based in the same country as you, has a good returns policy and a brand to protect.

All of the above means that you are less likely to be sold a fake item that has somehow slipped into a supply chain, which can be a prominent issue on marketplace sites.

As a specialist we take the time to interrogate our suppliers and their supply chains to ensure that every item we sell meets the required standards, is a genuine item, and delivers the required performance. All of which allows you to trust you are getting good value for your money, and a tool (or fixing) that stands the test of time and is right for the job.
