It’s not like a fine wine, your tool doesn’t necessarily get better with age! However, if you’ve had the tool from new or for an extended period, then you would have seen its performance and workload over that period, and have a good knowledge of the tool itself and know it’s strengths and ability to work. The performance of the tool, to carry out the work required is more important than its age. Each tool has a model number, and this can help determine the age of your tool if required. Have you cared for and maintained the tool, have you used it in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions and have you had it regularly serviced or repaired? These things can make a real difference to the life of your tool. There’s more than likely to be parts that need to be replaced over a tool’s lifetime due to wear and tear, however a good quality tool cared for and maintained should hopefully have an extended life. It’s can all start with the purchase of a good quality tool.

If you want to invest in your own business, then make wise purchases and invest in good quality power tools. Quality tools last and can most often be repaired at a cost effective price, rather than purchasing a new tool. Regular servicing of your tools will monitor their condition, and your tool repairer can make you aware of any needs to repair or replace parts either immediately or in the near future.

Diagnose An initial inspection of your tool helps us to identify whether there are any major issues or parts that need replacing. 3. Repair We will replace worn or broken parts and make any repairs necessary to ensure the tool is working properly.  Tools, although designed to last, suffer general wear and tear, and sometimes your tool losses power. Good tool practices are checking your tools regularly for damage or other issues, caring for them in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines and having them serviced regularly. The wear of the tool can depend on how the tool is used and the workload of the tool. Most often it’s the common parts of the tool that will fail and will need repairing or replacing. Your power cord is part of your tool! Checking the power cord for nicks, cuts and damage not only saves you or your employee from potential serious harm, it can also indicate power issues that the tool may be experiencing. If the power supply is correct and the power cord looks in good condition, there may still be some internal wire breakage or damage that needs repairing. At irepair tools we can repair or replace a power cord where necessary. Of course if it’s a cordless power tool, then the issue could be the battery. That’s a discussion for another day.
