Berlin Tools

Berlin Tools, a tool wholesaler and retailer in Greater Manchester

Berlin Tools operates as both a wholesaler and a retailer of branded hand tools, air tools and power tool accessories. The company presents itself as a stockist of several established brands and sells through its online catalogue, which is organised into product families rather than a single flat list. Its range covers workshop equipment, automotive service tools and general hand tools.

The business states that it is the sole sponsor of the Under-16 team known as the Pink Warriors at Littleborough RUFC, a rugby club connection it highlights on its site.
