The hand tools maintenance techs, mechanics and trades reach for every day: wrenches and hex keys, sockets and ratchets, screwdrivers and nut drivers, pliers and cutters, hammers, bars and chisels, knives and blades, clamps and vises and tool storage. Purchasing teams use this section to outfit new hires, replace worn tools and restock the tool crib.

Use the size filters to find inch (SAE) or metric sizes.

How to choose hand tools

• Know your fastener sizes. Most plants and fleets run a mix of SAE and metric hardware. Check the thread sizes guide if you're unsure which you're working with.
• Match drive size to the job. 1/4 in. drive suits small fasteners in tight spaces, 3/8 in. covers general maintenance, and 1/2 in. and larger handle heavier bolts. Use impact-rated sockets only on impact tools.
• Pick the right point count. 6-point sockets and box ends grip the flats and are less likely to round a worn head. 12-point gives more angles in tight spots.
• Check for insulated or specialty ratings. Insulated tools are marked for electrical work, but they do not replace your electrical safety program or NFPA 70E procedures.
• Buy sets for coverage, singles for replacement. A set fills a new toolbox quickly; open stock replaces the one size that walked away.
• Plan storage too. Toolboxes, bags and organizers cut down on lost tools.

Common questions

What's the difference between SAE and metric wrenches?

SAE wrenches are sized in fractions of an inch and metric wrenches in millimeters. Some sizes are close but not interchangeable, and using the wrong one can round off a fastener.

Should I buy 6-point or 12-point sockets?

For general maintenance and stubborn or rusted bolts, 6-point is the safer choice because it grips the flats. 12-point sockets help where swing room is limited or on 12-point fasteners.

Do you sell tools for a complete tool crib?

Yes. We supply hand tools, power tools and measuring tools for cribs and service trucks, and can help with bulk orders.
