So my favourite drill decided to pop its clogs last week after 5-6 years faithful daily grind. The repair estimate.... $300+ for what is an old drill.

So i took the plunge and bought (well via works company account!) not only a new drill but a set of new Pro power tools, which almost equal the value of my car! :eek:

With such a purchase i want to be sure there insured, but i know in UK getting your tools for work insured was near impossible. So wondered if anyone new of any such policies for trades tools. The catch-22 normally is tools can only be insured when they are NOT in a vehicle, which really defeats the object as 90% the time thats where they are at risk. (my work mate last month had van window smashed broad daylight and lost $2000 of tools)

Else i be buying a large dog to tie to the van...... :nice1

Hi although I don't know the answer to your question, I just wanted to say that stealing a mans tools he uses to earn a living is one of the most despicable low down things to do, done by complete scum :mad: :mad:

Oops that my rant over with.

Totally agree my friend, about 8-9 years ago in UK i had everything stolen from van on my own driveway! Its not just the value of the tools, its silly things like bent screwdrivers that perfectly fit certain jobs and that, sounds silly but well worn items that fit certain jobs just cant be replaced, and since that day all those years ago i still havent replaced half the tools i once had.

Hence paranoid i just committed to a mass of expensive kit and dont want that risk.
