When it comes to getting the job done right, skill matters, but so does the kit you carry.
Whether you’re a general builder, carpenter, electrician, or plumber, the right-hand tools are the backbone of your work. At WELFIX, we don’t just sell tools, we help builders choose the right ones for their trade, their budget, and the demands of the job.

Why the Right-Hand Tools Matter

The right tool can make the difference between a quick, clean job and hours of frustration. Good hand tools are about:

• Precision – Delivering accuracy on the first try.
• Durability – Standing up to site wear and tear.
• Efficiency – Saving time without cutting corners.

And while the price tag matters, quality often pays for itself, with fewer replacements, better performance, and a smoother day on site.

The Core Essentials for Every Builder

No matter your trade, there are certain hand tools that earn their place in every kit.

1. Measuring & Layout Tools From spirit levels to tape measures, accuracy starts here. Reliable measuring tools help avoid costly mistakes.   2. Screwdrivers & Allen Keys A mix of flathead, Phillips, and hex drivers keeps you ready for anything. We stock brands like Wera and Faithfull for comfort and reliability.   3. Pliers, Wire Cutters & Strippers For gripping, bending, or cutting, a solid pair of pliers is indispensable.   4. Wrenches, Spanners & Ratchets Adjustable wrenches and socket sets are staples for mechanical and general construction work.   5. Striking & Demolition Tools From claw hammers to sledgehammers, these tools make light work of heavy-duty tasks.

Specialist Tools by Trade
