Reduce Wasteful overbuying

Now you can do more with less

Fleet Management helps ensure you have only the equipment you need. And with ON!Track, our asset management software, you can identify idle or lost assets as you move from project to project. Need something for just a few days or weeks? Don't buy it – use our Tools on Demand service instead.

You'll always get high-quality tools that last longer, and our local repair centers work to extend their lives even more. If your tools are still productive at the end of the agreement, you decide if you want to extend their contract.

Waste not want not

We'll reuse what you no longer need

It's a seamless process - we'll collect unwanted tools from you at no cost, even competitors' tools and batteries. 

After an exhaustive inspection by our experts, the tools that are deemed functionally equivalent to new will join our rental pool, offsetting the need to manufacture and transport new equipment.

Others will be donated for non-intensive use by humanitarian and educational organizations. Components that meet our high quality standards will be reused by our repair centers, and remaining parts will go to our recycling partners.

Recycle virtually indefinitely

What we can't reuse, we'll try to recycle

Tools or components that can't be reused are handled by our audited global recycling partners.

We take responsibility for our products throughout their lifetime. Much of a typical tool's mass is high-quality metals that can be recycled virtually indefinitely for various applications, and though we achieve a high level of non-thermal recycling in our markets, we're continuing to work with our recycling partners to increase yield even more.
