“The tools hold up on site”
"Finding decent gear down in Nelson without a huge markup or long wait can be tricky, but they’ve been good. The tools I've bought have held up on site, which is the main thing. Pricing seems reasonable, and things have turned up when they said they would. Definitely a solid option if you’re looking for reliable tools in NZ."
Dave R. - Builder, Nelson
“They stock gear that’s useful for electricians”
"I needed a particular insulated screwdriver set and some decent pliers, and Tradesman's Mate actually had the specific ones I was after. It’s good to see they stock gear that’s actually useful for electricians. The ordering process was straightforward, and it arrived in Hamilton pretty quickly. Nice to have another option for sourcing tools that cater to the trades across NZ."
Sarah K. - Electrician, Hamilton
"Tools that won't break the bank"
"As an apprentice, you're always looking for tools that won't break the bank but will still do the job. A colleague suggested Tradesman's Mate. I've picked up a fair bit of my starting kit from them, and so far, the quality seems decent for the price. It’s also handy that they ship right down to Dunedin without the freight costs being ridiculous. For anyone building up their toolset, they're worth considering."
Mike T. - Apprentice Plumber, Dunedin

Let customers speak for us
from 61 reviewsI like the logical approach throughout the guide. Helps you narrow things down instead of just testing everything and hoping you find it.
Simple, practical and doesn't overcomplicate things. Handy to have when fault finding.
Picked this up as a reference for fault finding and have found it useful to flick through when I'm stuck.
Its great would like one dor control too if its a thing
Good little guide to keep available on the phone. Clear enough to quickly find what you're looking for.
Clear, practical and actually relevant to the sort of faults you come across. I've got it saved on my phone now.
Much easier having the information together rather than trying to find the right answer from five different websites while you're on a job.
Straight to the point and easy to understand. Definitely a useful reference for an electrician.
Feels like it was made for electricians rather than written as a generic electrical textbook. Plenty of practical information in it.
Exactly the sort of guide I was after. Doesn't bury the useful information under pages of waffle.
Fits perfectly. Great quality
This digital inclinometer is incredibly accurate and easy to read. The backlit display makes it perfect for low-light job sites!
Super sturdy build and magnetic base holds firmly on metal surfaces. A must-have for precise angle setups in construction or woodworking.
Battery life is impressive and the zero calibration function saves me so much time. Worth every penny for professional-grade results!
Used to spend ages getting angles right. This thing snaps on and gives you the reading instantly. The laser guidance makes positioning a breeze.
