Frequently Asked Questions

What hand tools should a home workshop have?
A socket set with 1/4 and 1/2 inch drive, a metric spanner set, screwdrivers, combination and long nose pliers, an adjustable wrench, a hex key set, a tape and a hammer. That kit handles car servicing, furniture, bikes and most shed repairs. A tool kit bundles the lot in one case for less than buying piece by piece.
Are cheap hand tools worth buying?
For sockets, spanners and screwdrivers, a mid priced chrome vanadium tool lasts decades, so the gap between cheap and expensive is small. Where cheap bites you is on pliers that go blunt, ratchets that skip and hex keys that round off. Buy Trades Pro or Tool House for the drawer at home, Powerbuilt for anything you use every week.
Metric or imperial hand tools in New Zealand?
Metric for nearly everything: Japanese, Korean and European cars, bikes, furniture and building hardware. Imperial still turns up on American vehicles, Harleys, older tractors and farm machinery. Most mechanics end up with metric sets and a few imperial sockets and spanners for the odd job.
Do your hand tools come with a warranty?
Powerbuilt hand tools carry a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Trades Pro and Tool House are covered for 12 months. If a socket cracks or a ratchet fails in normal use, contact us with your order number and we replace it.
Can I buy single sockets and spanners rather than a set?
Yes. Most Powerbuilt sockets, deep sockets, impact sockets and ring and open end spanners are sold individually from around $4, so you can replace a lost 10mm or fill a gap in a set without buying it again.
How much is shipping on hand tools?
Orders over $200 ship free anywhere in New Zealand. Under that it is a flat $15. Most orders leave the same or next working day and arrive within 2 to 4 working days, rural addresses a day or two longer.
