Tool assessment and tool selection

At Abbey, we don’t just sell tools – our specialist sales engineers have the knowledge and experience to advise you on the optimum tool system solution for every function.

We utilise a tool systems database that contains the information and advice required to make the right choice based on your needs. Our tool system advice is based on the following key factors:

• Risk – it is our legal responsibility to make you aware of tools designed to reduce vibration and noise to the lowest levels possible.

• Productivity – we can help you increase the productivity of your tool operators by changing to light, powerful, ergonomically designed tools and workstations.

• Cost – we offer a choice of tool systems, ranging in price and quality from the most sophisticated tools to fairly basic. Lower cost tools may be suitable for limited, specialist operations, but for more demanding applications we usually recommend a high quality tooling system.

• Tool operators – it’s important to evaluate how tools are actually being used. Imagine having a high power-to-weight ratio turbine grinder with low noise and vibration emissions – being used as a hammer! We’ve seen it happen.

• Power source – how efficient is your power source: the hoses, filtration, couplings, regulators, lubricators, blow protectors, pressure clamps etc? A typical factory operating a compressor at 500 litres/sec running 48 hours a week, with a 1.6mm air leak hole, will waste £300 per year.

• Consumables – are you using the correct consumables? High quality tools with high quality consumables achieve optimum performance and productivity.

• After sales support – we can provide you with a fast and reliable spare tools service, in addition to complete tool asset management, a planned preventative tool maintenance programme and a comprehensive database comparing tool systems by cost, vibration and a host of other critical factors.

Our commitment is to provide a fast, reliable and competitive tool support service from tool spares to full, tool asset management systems.
