Workshop Tools and Supplies

Workshop tools and supplies covering the machines a fabrication shop and site crew lean on daily: angle grinders from 125mm cordless to 230mm high-power, driver drills, hammer and rotary hammer drills, impact drivers and wrenches, mitre saws, reciprocating saws, nibblers, metal shears, riveters, heat guns and wet and dry dust extraction. Cordless runs deep on the Metabo 12V and 18V LiHD platform — skins, kits and brushless combo kits — alongside corded machines, magnetic base drill stands, pipe stands, punch and shears, and metal lathe packages.

The supplies side keeps it all working: batteries and chargers, LED site lights, job site radios, torches and heavy-duty extension leads, with hand tools from Kincrome, Klein Tools, Sutton Tools and Bordo in the mix.

Which power tools does a fabrication workshop need first?

Start with the four that touch nearly every job — an angle grinder, a hammer drill or driver drill, an impact wrench for bolting and a dust extractor to keep the work compliant — then add task tools like nibblers, mitre saws and riveters as the work demands.
