Tool Trade Demo/Show

[SangDuong]

Morning,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any kind of expo or trade show for tools. I remembering going to a few years ago where manufacturers and distributors would showcase tools, equipment, clothes etc.

I think screwfix do this or may have done this before and was hoping someone knows of any events like this locally to Berkshire.

There was the ffx tool show based in kent a few months back.
I'm sure all the big tool shops do them, ITS tools and DM tools do one and are coming up I think.
Go one their websites they have information about them I'm sure.

Why do you ask? I personally didn't think there were really any good deals at the ffx show.

There a trade DIY show in Birmingham or Coventry - I would use a search engine with obvious search terms....

Local one tend to be retailer driven - I did a few a lot of years ago and they can be effective.

Thanks for the replies. Basically I am looking into starting a new project with a few partners with all different levels of skill and experiences. For example I worked for British Gas for 9 years and one person has managed building sites for the last 3 year.

We have a certain level of capital but we will need to invest into new tools so before we commit. So we are researching all tools and expenses before deciding to take the jump. I might go round local retailers this weekend and ask a few people.

Thanks again.

As your after deals I would phone up all the local retailers. I'm sure DM Tools (london) do loyalty points (£) each product you buy, then you can use them to buy in the future.

Maybe if you spend x amount they will chuck in some freebies
