About Us

Superior Tools that Honour

The philosophy, the expertise and the technology that inspires Knightool products have been prized across the world in 50 countries since 1983.
 
Knightool is founded upon the values of honour, loyalty and chivalry.
 
We manufacture our tools to a standard of performance and reliability that will honour the pride you take in your work.  We use only the finest CSC approved steel and, having complete visibility of our manufacturing processes, we can ensure that quality is built in at every stage.  Our 7-phase testing processes then prove those objectives have been fulfilled.
 
We express our loyalty to our customers, our suppliers and our resellers by ensuring that our relationships work for all concerned.  In practice, this means that we set fair prices which ensure value for our customers and profit for our representatives.
 
We are chivalrous in our care for our workforce, paying close attention to their health and safety, fair pay and comfortable working conditions.  We have in place the rigorous H&S procedures that working with steel requires; we want our employees to feel motivated about their work, which air-conditioning, considerate working hours and conditions, and generous pay ensure.

The Knightool Story

“Many years ago, when I was first introduced to the tool manufacturing business, I was somewhat surprised and appalled at the conditions in which employees had to work – lost eyes and fingers were commonplace; I was shocked at the cut-throat nature of the competitive marketplace; and I was disappointed in the inferior quality of many of the products. 
 
“Together with my family, I resolved to do better. 
 
“We decided to take a completely different approach.  Firstly, we needed to have control of the entire manufacturing process, so that we could ensure not only the standard of the finished article, but also the safety and satisfaction of each and every member of staff.  Then we had to place strict guidelines on how our products were going to be distributed and sold. 
 
“It took a while, but eventually we succeeded in putting all of this in place.  The company – Knightool – that you see today is a direct descendent of that vision.  We are very proud of it; I hope that you will be proud to share that vision.”
