Keeping your tools safe There’s no doubt that without your tools you wouldn’t be able to work, so they need to be protected. All too often tradies are a target for thieves looking for a quick score., and while you’ll never be able to prevent thieves from attempting to steal your tools, there’s a few simple things you can do to protect them and your business. Keep them secure It might seem obvious, but it’s easy to get complacent and leave them lying around. Tools that are not being used should be put away securely and out of sight from would-be thieves. If you have a ute, invest in a bolted down toolbox with solid hinges and a heavy duty lock. At the end of the day, take them home and only leave them in your vehicle if it’s kept in a locked garage, or remove them from your vehicle and secure them. Mark your tools Marking or engraving your tools will as act as a deterrent as it’s harder to resell them if they can be identified, as well as helping you to keep track of them on a worksite. Engraving them also makes it easier to recover them if they are stolen, as it can assist the police with tracking you down as the owner. Tools insurance Most of us don’t have the cash on hand to replace our tools immediately if they are stolen or even damaged, so the best way to ensure you’re not left high and dry is to insure your tools. Maintain an inventory When it comes to making a claim, most tradies don’t realise the true cost of replacement until it’s too late, so make sure you have the right level of cover and can make a claim quickly by keeping an inventory of your tools (including serial numbers, photographs and receipts).
