Our History

In the late 1960's David Cartwright, founder of Toolware Sales saw an opportunity to specialize in particular products and provide a level of service to Retailers that did not exist at that time. David, along with Keith Thompson and Frank Teat, saw that there was an opportunity to offer the market a complete supply source for specialized products that they knew well - Quality hand tools and equipment. And so, Toolware Sales began operations in a tiny warehouse of 185 sq. meters, based in Auckland New Zealand, with just a staff of three. Since that time Toolware has grown and has never wavered from the original goals, to be the best in the industry, provide excellent service, and supply quality trade tools.
