Professional hand tools for all your projects

Precision wrenches and sockets for reliable assemblies

The quality of your assemblies depends directly on your hand tools. Our Jet combination wrenches and chrome-plated sockets offer a perfect fit and exceptional strength for all your mechanical and assembly work. The chrome-vanadium 6-point sockets resist corrosion and maintain their dimensional accuracy even after intensive use.

Available in SAE (1/4" to 1 1/4") and metric sizes, our Jet wrench sets meet North American industry standards. Whether you're working on heavy equipment, plumbing, or assembly projects, these tools ensure a solid grip and optimal tightening torque without damaging fasteners.

Marking and measuring tools for maximum precision

Accurate marking is essential for successful cuts and assemblies. Our Pumper Auto-Writer pencils withstand extreme temperatures and effectively mark on metal, concrete, and rough surfaces. Available in 5 colors (white, yellow, red, green, and blue), they offer optimal visibility depending on your working conditions.

The special lead remains legible even on wet or oily surfaces, crucial for industrial environments. These marking tools have become standard in Canadian industry for their reliability in harsh conditions. Accurate marking reduces cutting errors and improves the final quality of your projects.

Electric clamping solutions for increased productivity

Complete your hand tool arsenal with hybrid solutions like our DeWalt 12V ratchet. This tool combines the precision of manual work with electric efficiency for repetitive tasks. Compatible with 3/8" and 1/4" sockets, it generates controlled torque while maintaining the sensitivity needed for delicate assemblies.

Perfect for mechanical maintenance, industrial plumbing, and electrical work where access is restricted. The 12V battery provides all-day runtime and recharges quickly. This hybrid approach maximizes your productivity without compromising assembly quality.

Hand tools adapted to Canadian conditions

Our hand tools are selected to withstand Canada's harsh climate. Jet wrenches and sockets undergo special heat treatments that maintain their resistance from -40°C to +60°C. Pumper pencils perform perfectly even in wet or snowy weather, essential for Canadian outdoor construction sites.

This robustness guarantees consistent performance regardless of weather conditions. Investing in the right tools prevents costly breakdowns and project delays. From Vancouver to Halifax, our hand tools support professionals in their daily challenges.

Industrial tools for specialized applications

Every job requires specific hand tools. Our impact sockets withstand the repeated impacts of air wrenches, while our combination wrenches offer the versatility needed for a variety of jobs. Pumper marking pens penetrate paint and rust to mark directly on bare metal.

This specialization allows the tool to be perfectly adapted to the task, optimizing productivity and safety. Professionals in construction, industrial mechanics, and maintenance appreciate this targeted approach, which reduces response times and improves the quality of results.
