Steel does most of the work in these custom tool kits, from carbon steel pliers and sockets in the bigger branded tool kits to the S2 steel double-ended bits in a pocket driver. Aluminium shows up in pen-shaped drivers, push-open bit cases and foam-lined metal cases, while ABS plastic forms the hard shells, translucent lids and the house-shaped or triangular holders on each mini tool set. Softer carry options include 600D Oxford and nylon pouches with zips or Velcro, a bonded leather case with a built-in measuring tape and a hinged bamboo case where the grain changes from one to the next. Several screwdriver sets add LED or COB lights, and one plastic set has a spirit level built in.
This isn't a stress ball that gets tossed after the expo. For the apprentice who gets one from a local electrical wholesaler, it's the kit that lives behind the ute seat and comes out when a cabinet hinge works loose on site. The tweezers and precision drivers handle the fiddly screws their big tools can't reach, and the case keeps every bit in one spot.
Every one of these promotional tool kits can be branded. Most can be printed and the metal-bodied drivers can be engraved for a mark that lasts. For pocket-sized alternatives, have a look at our multi tools.
