Greyhound Auto Retail supplies workshop tools for automotive, trade, industrial and home workshops, covering hand tools, power tools, measuring equipment, abrasives, clamps, saws and tool storage.

A workshop is built up rather than bought in one go. Most people start with a socket and spanner set, a decent screwdriver range, pliers and cutters, a hammer and a measuring tape, then add power tools and specialist equipment as the work demands. Buying the tools you will actually use, at a quality that matches how often you will use them, beats a large cheap set that lets you down halfway through a job.

Storage is worth thinking about early. A proper chest or roller cabinet keeps tools organised, dry and accounted for, which in a busy workshop saves both time and the cost of constantly replacing missing items.
