Expert Tool Store to join the Formula Student paddock

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers are pleased to announce that Expert Tool Store will be on site at Formula Student this year.

Expert Tool Store are the official wholesale partner for Facom, Expert by Facom and Britool products – which are the Automotive and Industrial brands manufactured by Stanley Black and Decker (SBD), they offer a holistic approach to building a tool set. Offering a wide variety of tool and storage customisation, they allow engineers to build bespoke kits that suit their specific requirements, together with custom foaming of drawers and trays where each tool has its profile machined out to create a pocket. The foam is in two colours so a missing tool is very obvious as the contrast colour shows up clearly when a tool has not been returned. Expert Tool Store are able to offer laser etching of tools, providing an increased level of traceability. Popular options are tracked assets numbers, letters, or logos, as well as barcodes, all etched directly onto each tool.

Having already worked with HWRacing from Heriot-Watt University, they have helped them build a custom EV specific tool and storage solution in the team’s colour scheme, with their team logo etched onto the tool storage chest, so they can work on their car and keep the team’s equipment together in style. Finally, if your budget does not require a customised solution, Expert Tool Store also supply hand and power tools, storage, and workshop solutions.

Bruce Everest at Expert Tool Store said: “We are very excited to become involved with both the Formula Student event and our next generation of engineers. We wish the best of luck to all those teams competing this year and we look forward to meeting you at the paddock”
