Toolden’s journey began in 1987 in the industrious North East of Scotland. Founded with a strong commitment to craftsmanship and service, it started as a small, local supplier catering to tradespeople, contractors, and DIYers. At a time when the region’s economy was shaped by agriculture, fishing, oil, and construction, Toolden filled a growing need for dependable, high-quality tools.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, the company built a reputation on trust, personal service, and word-of-mouth. As demand grew, so did Toolden—expanding its product range and modernizing operations while staying true to its roots. Today, Toolden stands as one of the UK’s leading online tool retailers, grounded in its founding values of reliability, integrity, and community focus. What began in a small Scottish town has become a trusted name for professionals and businesses nationwide.

We launched into e-commerce in 2016, selling drills on eBay and Amazon. As demand grew, we launched our own website—thanks to a brilliant team of developers—which allowed us to offer a better, more tailored experience to our customers.

Since then, we’ve rapidly expanded both our product range and our customer base. From hand tools to site equipment, we now serve everyone from hobbyists and sole traders to government and commercial clients across the UK. We’re proud to partner with industry-leading brands like DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, and Hikoki, offering trusted tools at competitive prices.

What began as a small online operation has grown into one of the UK’s leading tool retailers—built on quality, reliability, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.
