What is Tool Watch App?

To combat the epidemic of tool theft

To help with insurance claims
A police affiliated, user-friendly web app designed to tackle the tool theft epidemic affecting tradesmen & businesses across the UK.
The Tool Watch App database connects tool owners to local police forces. By registering your tool serial numbers within our app we’re able to support you with recovering your tools if a theft occurs.
In the event of a tool theft, simply mark your tools as stolen within the Tool Watch App and report your stolen tools to your local police force. Should the police recover your tools they can input the serial numbers within the Tool Watch App and return your tools to you.

Traders

Businesses
Tool Owners
With over three quarters of UK builders having had their tools stolen, Tool Watch App is for all traders UK-wide, including builders, plumbers, electricians, mechanics and any trade that uses tools.
The app has been designed with four audiences in mind: traders, small-to-medium companies and national organisations, and of course the police.
With two packages to choose from for maximum efficiency, the aim is to ensure that everyone can benefit from Tool Watch App and use it to their full advantage.
Why Should You Use Tool Watch App?
Over the past 10 years, the most common value lost as a result of tool theft was £2,500. Aside from this initial financial loss, 54% of tradesmen are also left unable to work after a tool theft, and a further 60% are struck by additional security costs.
Tool theft doesn’t only have a huge monetary impact on tradesmen, 71% of tradesmen also suffered from stress and anxiety after having their tools stolen.
With the huge economic and emotional costs of tool theft on both a short- and long-term basis, it is crucial that tradesmen and businesses do all that they can to protect their tools and in turn, their livelihoods.
Tool Watch App is designed to do just that; combat the tool theft epidemic, return stolen tools to their rightful owners and free up police time spent identifying the owners of stolen tools. With two different packages to choose from, Tool Watch App helps to protect tools belonging to tradesmen, companies and large corporations.
