Whether you’re running a busy maintenance team, managing a manufacturing line, or handling everyday repairs, the tools you keep on hand can make or break your workflow.
At AC Crampton, we’ve supported South African workshops for over 40 years—and we know that the right equipment means more than just ticking off a checklist. It’s about building a toolkit that’s reliable, versatile, and ready for anything.
1. Power Drill
No workshop is complete without a dependable power drill. From drilling pilot holes to driving fasteners into metal, wood, or masonry, it’s the tool you’ll reach for most. Cordless drills offer portability for site work, while corded models provide continuous power for workshop-based tasks.
2. Angle Grinder
For cutting, grinding, and polishing, an angle grinder is a must-have tool. Whether you’re working with metal, tiles, or even concrete, this versatile tool earns its place quickly. Be sure to keep the right discs on hand for different materials.
3. Bench Grinder
Ideal for sharpening blades, deburring metal, or shaping tools, a bench grinder is a great investment for any workshop focused on metalwork or repairs.
4. Measuring Tools
Accuracy matters—so every workshop should be stocked with measuring tapes, rulers, vernier callipers, and spirit levels. For more advanced work, laser levels and digital callipers offer enhanced precision.
5. Lubricants and Cleaners
Proper tool maintenance relies on quality cleaning agents and lubricants. Products like Spanjaard lubricants help extend tool life, reduce friction, and prevent rust and corrosion in South Africa’s often humid climate.
6. Safety Gear (PPE)
No toolkit is complete without PPE. Ensure your workshop is stocked with gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, dust masks, and steel-toe boots—meeting all relevant SANS standards for compliance.
7. Tool Storage
Organisation is key. Wall-mounted racks, portable toolboxes, and drawer systems help protect your gear and improve workflow by keeping everything accessible and in place.
8. Consumables and Accessories
Keep your shelves stocked with fasteners, drill bits, saw blades, cutting discs, sanding pads, and spare batteries or cords. Having the right accessories on hand saves time when every minute counts.
