According to Toolex MD, Heinz Forster, the demand for tools to the H4 standard has been slowly growing over the past few years and is now at a level where the company’s rapid delivery service can be maintained only by manufacturing everything to the higher precision standard.

With most orders for in-stock tools being despatched on the same day and specials within 24h, the company felt the sensible approach was to make everything to the higher standard. As Forster says: “You can use a high precision, H4 tool on any job, but you can’t use an H7 tool on a high precision operation.”

To maintain its competitive pricing, Toolex has invested heavily in automatic and semi-automatic machine tools that can turn out tools to the tight specification, reliably and economically.

The company specialises in producing precision cutting tools and cutting tools only. This allows the management to focus on maintaining the company’s reputation for service, quality and value for money.
