Your truck is your office! You decide what hours you keep, which businesses you serve. Once you take the wheel, you decide how profitable your business becomes!
The Skookum advantage:
- Exclusivity – no other tool supply offers Skookum service
- Consistent profit margins and highly consumable services maximize income
- Brand name and proven products chosen for quality and performance
- Competitive pricing – secured supplier relationships
- Targeted customer list
- Team concept, marketing and administrative support and business coaching
- Low up-front costs and overhead
The concept for Skookum Tools is simple – provide trades people with reliable products and services at their convenience. For years trucks have serviced the automobile mechanic trades with hand tools – and Skookum President and Founder Rob McDonald understood that if mechanics had come to rely on the ‘tool truck’ showing up at their shop, then other trades would respond favorably to a similar service.
Backed by over 20 years of sales and management experience in the industrial supply industry, Skookum now provides industrial consumable goods and sharpening services to the wood, metal and fiberglass trades.
