Tools

Are your tools suitable for both professional and DIY use?
Yes. We stock and supply tools designed to handle heavy-duty industrial applications as well as light or moderate DIY tasks. Check each product’s specifications and recommended usage to ensure it meets your specific requirements.

What basic tools should I have in a beginner toolkit?
Every beginner toolkit should at least have a reliable set of items such as screwdrivers, a hammer, an adjustable spanner, a tape measure, pliers and a spirit level. Additionally, a cordless drill/driver is extremely handy for most home improvements. You can find these essential tools in one convenient place at Fix & Fast.

What types of tools do you offer?
We stock a wide range of hand tools to suit various applications, including woodworking, metalworking, automotive and construction tasks. From hammers and screwdrivers to clamps and saws, we aim to provide high-quality, durable products for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

How do I choose the right tool for my project?
Start by determining the materials you’ll be working with and the level of precision needed. Each product listing includes detailed specifications and recommended uses, which can help narrow down your options. If you need further guidance, feel free to contact our team—we’re always happy to assist.

What are the best types of fixings for my project?
The choice of fixings (e.g., screws and bolts) depends on the material and load requirements. For instance, plasterboard fixings are specialised for hollow walls, while heavy-duty anchors may be needed for brick or concrete. If you’re unsure, contact us for more information.

Are tools covered by a warranty?
Yes. Most of our tools come with a manufacturer’s warranty, although the duration and terms can vary by brand. You can find specific warranty information on each product page. If you have any questions regarding warranty claims, please reach out to our team.

Do you offer bulk discounts for trade or large tool orders?

How do I maintain and store my tools properly?
Proper maintenance varies depending on the type of tool, but general tips include keeping them clean and dry, lubricating moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer, and storing them in a protective case or organised toolbox. Always consult the user manual for specific maintenance and storage instructions.
