Choosing The Right Toughbuilt Gear

Not sure where to start? A few quick pointers:

•    On the tools all day? Start with a ToughBuilt padded belt and pouch combo that suits your trade – a Handyman or Framer pouch for general carpentry, plus suspenders if you carry a lot of weight.
•    Working on floors, roofs or cladding? Make knee protection a priority: GelFit knee pads with stabiliser shells help spread the load and keep you steady on rough or uneven surfaces.
•    Need a mobile workstation? Combine a pair of ToughBuilt C650 or C700 sawhorses with a board for a solid jobsite table, then add StackTech rolling storage to move tools and fixings in one go.
•    Looking to tidy the van or workshop? Use a Massive Mouth bag for everyday grab-and-go tools and the Wall Organiser or StackTech boxes for fastener and small-part storage.

FAQs: 

Are ToughBuilt products good quality?

Yes. ToughBuilt tools and accessories are known for their rugged construction and trade-focused design. From ClipTech tool belts to high-capacity sawhorses and heavy-duty knee pads, every item is engineered for durability, comfort, and real-world jobsite performance.

What is the ToughBuilt ClipTech system?

ClipTech is ToughBuilt’s modular carry system that allows you to clip and unclip pouches, holsters, and accessories from your belt or bag in seconds. It lets you customise your setup for each job—carpentry, electrical work, maintenance and more—so you only carry what you actually need.

Which ToughBuilt tool belt should I choose?

It depends on your trade and how much gear you carry. For general trades, the 3-Piece Handyman Belt Set is a great all-rounder. For carpenters/framers, choose the TB-CT-02 Framer Pouch or TB-CT-20 drill holsters paired with a padded belt. And, for heavy tool loads, add Padded Suspenders (TB-CT-51P) for better weight distribution. If you're unsure, Ace Fixings can provide free advice.

What are the benefits of ToughBuilt knee pads?

ToughBuilt GelFit™ and Stabiliser knee pads are designed for long hours on floors, roofs or decking. They spread the pressure across the thigh rather than the knee, stay stable on uneven ground, and use non-marring materials to protect surfaces, ideal for tilers, framers and flooring specialists.

What’s the difference between ToughBuilt sawhorses?

The C300 is lightweight and great for general use, the C550 offers increased capacity for heavier loads, the C650 provides an excellent balance of strength and portability and is ideal for site work, while the C700 is the top of the range offering maximum strength and versatility. Twin packs are perfect for creating instant jobsite tables.

Does ToughBuilt StackTech work with other brands?

StackTech is ToughBuilt’s own modular storage system designed for compatibility within the ToughBuilt ecosystem. It integrates with their carts, boxes, organisers and work surfaces for a complete mobile storage solution.

Do you stock ToughBuilt replacement blades and accessories?

Yes. Ace Fixings stocks replacement utility blades, scraper blades and compatible accessories for ToughBuilt knives, plus additional pouches, holsters and SnapShell knee pad shells.

Are ToughBuilt products covered by a warranty?

ToughBuilt products come with a manufacturer warranty, with many items offering extended coverage when registered. For full details, you can contact our team or check individual product pages.

How quickly can ToughBuilt items be delivered?

We offer free delivery on qualifying orders, fast dispatch, and convenient click-and-collect from Ace Fixings. Delivery times vary depending on stock levels, but are usually quick for all ToughBuilt products.
