In 2021 80% of Australians shopped online. From clothes and shoes to groceries and electronics, why should buying tradie tools be any different?
Shopping for tools online is convenient, fast and much easier than driving down to your local hardware store only to find out what you need is sold out.
So if you haven’t bought tools online yet, here are four reasons why you should.
1. You Can Shop Wherever You Are
Buying tools online allows you to shop from wherever you are so you don’t need to wait until you have time to head to a retail store.
Waiting for your partner while they're shopping? Browse our range of hand tools.
Stuck in traffic while a workmate is driving? Why not get yourself some new Makita power tools?
Broke a hammer on the worksite? Head to Mektronics and order yourself a new one in just a few minutes.
2. It’s Easy To Compare a Wide Range of Products
Most retail hardware stores have limited shelf space since they need to make tools easy to find. Consequently, they can stock as many brands and tools as an online store.
At Mektronics, we stock over 150 high-quality tools brands so you’ll always find what you’re looking for.
Some of the brands we stock on our site include:
And much more. You’ll find cutters & pliers, hammers, saws, spanners, wrenches and everything else an Australian tradie could need or want.
3. Prices Are Often Better Online
Hosting a website is much cheaper than operating a retail store and this translates to competitive tool prices for you.
On top of this, no physical store means online retailers don’t have to employ sales staff. Instead, they have customer service agents who can reply to hundreds of customer queries each day, meaning lower overheads for online tool retailers.
Finally, it’s much easier for online retailers to sell their products. They don’t need to be on a shelf in a store for you to find them.
Instead, they can be safely packed in a warehouse with maximum storage capabilities while all you have to do is search the site and you can find a product in seconds. This means lower storage costs for retailers and cheaper tool prices for you.
4. You Don’t Have To Deal With Sales Staff
Sales staff can be helpful at times, but managers often give them sales targets which can lead to pushiness and awkward conversations. Unless you know exactly what you need, they may try to sell you a tool based on their targets rather than something that is the best match for your needs.
When you shop for tradie tools online you can browse in peace without feeling pressured to buy straight away. If you do have a question, you can always reach out to customer service for some helpful advice.
