Frequently Asked
Can I buy these tools anywhere else?
Yes - we've included Amazon links as alternatives. However, KC Tool is an authorized dealer with full warranty support, and your purchase helps fund free SparkShift resources.
Do I need all these tools on day one?
The "Essentials Only" filter shows what most journeymen expect you to have in your first month. You can add tools over time as you need them and budget allows.
Are these the cheapest options?
No - these are "buy once, cry once" tools. Cheap tools break, strip screws, and cost you more in replacements. These will last your entire career.
