What this category covers

The tools an MEP crew needs on site: wrenches and spanners, pliers and cutters, screwdrivers, hammers and striking tools, measuring and inspection instruments, cutting and filing hand tools, power drills and rotary tools, grinders and cutting power tools, power tool accessories, and specialised construction tools.

How to buy tools for a site rather than for a person

Buying tools for a project is a different exercise from buying one good tool. What matters is that every crew has a complete, consistent set, that consumables are stocked so work does not stop for a blade, and that the batteries and chargers across the site belong to one platform.

That last point is worth stating plainly: cordless tools from different manufacturers do not share batteries, and a site running three platforms has three sets of chargers, three sets of spare packs and no ability to move a battery from an idle tool to a working one. Standardising on one platform is usually worth more than the price difference on any individual tool.

Common applications

Mechanical and plumbing installation, electrical first and second fix, HVAC installation and commissioning, fire protection installation, general building work, facilities maintenance teams, and workshop and fabrication use.

What to settle before asking for a price

Corded or cordless, and which platform. If cordless, confirm the voltage platform and whether tools are needed as bare units or as kits with batteries and charger. Bare units are far cheaper once a site already has packs.

Duty. A tool used occasionally and a tool used all day are different products at different prices. Buying light tools for heavy duty costs more over a project than buying correctly once.

Consumables. Drill bits, blades, discs and abrasives are the running cost, and running out of them stops work. Order them with the tools and in realistic quantities.

Electrical supply. Confirm the site voltage and frequency for corded tools, and whether reduced-voltage tools are required by the project's safety rules.

Safety. Guards, side handles and anti-restart protection are part of the tool, not accessories to be removed. Confirm the specification includes them.

Metric or imperial. GCC MEP work uses both. Confirm which the fasteners and fittings on your project actually use before ordering socket and spanner sets.

Industries we supply

MEP and building contractors, electrical and plumbing subcontractors, facilities management teams, industrial maintenance departments, workshops and fabrication shops, and site stores buying in bulk.

Frequently asked questions

Should we standardise on one cordless tool platform?

For a site of any size, yes. Batteries are not interchangeable between manufacturers, so running several platforms means separate chargers, separate spare packs and no ability to move a battery from an idle tool to a working one. Once the platform is chosen, buying bare tools without batteries is considerably cheaper.

Do you supply tools in site quantities?

Yes — that is how most of this category is quoted. Send a list of what each crew needs and the number of crews, and we will price it as a set with the consumables rather than as individual items.

Metric or imperial spanner and socket sets?

GCC MEP work uses both, and which one you need depends on the fittings and fasteners on your project rather than on the country. Threaded pipe fittings and imported equipment often bring imperial sizes onto an otherwise metric site. Check what the job actually uses before ordering, and where a site sees both, order both.

How many consumables should I order with power tools?

More than feels necessary. Blades, discs and drill bits are what stops work when they run out, and a delivery lead time is longer than a working day. Tell us the material being cut or drilled and the expected volume of work, and we will suggest a realistic starting quantity.

Can you supply tools to more than one GCC country on the same order?

Tell us the delivery locations with your enquiry. Pricing, availability and lead time are quoted per destination market, so we will confirm what can be supplied where before you place the order.
