Manufacturing & Engineering.

What We Can Supply

For manufacturing and engineering, we supply precision tools, cutting tools, measuring instruments and workshop equipment from the brands working engineers actually trust. Quality counts in this sector, and we won’t cut corners on it. If you need something specific, a particular calibration standard or a product that has been discontinued, ask us. Tracking down unusual or specialist items is one of the parts of the job we enjoy most.

Precision measuring instruments including micrometers, vernier calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, dial test indicators and digital readouts. Mitutoyo and Starrett are our main brands here, both trusted by metrology professionals worldwide. We can supply instruments with calibration certificates traceable to national standards on request. If you need UKAS-traceable calibration, mention it when you enquire.

Torque tools and calibration including torque wrenches, torque multipliers, torque screwdrivers and torque analysers. Norbar and Tohnichi are the names most quality engineers reach for. Calibration certificates traceable to national standards are available on request, which matters in aerospace, automotive and defence production where torque validation is a process requirement.

Cutting tools including HSS and carbide drills, taps, dies, reamers, milling cutters, threading tools and thread repair kits. Dormer Pramet for carbide and HSS cutting tools; Völkel and Presto International for threading. We can source specific geometries, coatings and grades. If you know what you need, send us the spec.

Professional hand tools including spanners, sockets, ratchets, pliers, screwdrivers and torque tools for workshop use. Stahlwille, KNIPEX, Wera, Bahco, Gedore and Facom. Stahlwille in particular are popular in precision engineering environments where tool quality and durability justify the investment.

Abrasives and finishing including grinding wheels, flap discs, fibre discs, cutting discs and abrasive belts for metalworking and surface finishing. Pferd and Tyrolit for bonded abrasives; Mirka for precision sanding and surface finishing. Pferd are particularly well regarded in the fabrication and metalworking sector for consistency and longevity.

Lubricants, fluids and maintenance chemicals including cutting fluids, tapping compounds, threadlock adhesives, anti-seize compounds, greases and corrosion protection products. Rocol and Loctite for threadlock and chemical products; Tygris for industrial lubricants and maintenance chemicals. The right cutting fluid extends tool life and improves surface finish, so it pays to take a little time getting it right.

Workshop PPE including safety glasses and face shields, hearing protection, safety boots and gloves for workshop environments. Uvex, 3M and Moldex for eye and hearing protection; Ansell for industrial gloves. We’re glad to advise on the right protection for the specific hazards in your workshop.
