Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City Fundraiser

collinLeave a comment

KC Tool has held a fundraiser for local charities for the past three years and we are proud to keep that tradition alive in 2021. This year, we have partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City, who strives to build strong and stable neighborhoods by building strong and stable homes – actual, physical houses from the ground up. As tool fans, this couldn’t be a better fit, right?

We teamed up with @edcoutlaw to offer you a limited edition Knipex Cobra XS laser etched with the KC Tool logo, as well as the year and edition number. Only 100 of these will be sold. For each one sold, KC Tool will donate $100 directly to Habitat KC. Limit one per customer.

This collector’s item not only makes a great showpiece for your collection, but also helps those in need. That said, we know that it may be a stretch to ask you to help one of our local Kansas City charities. If you choose not to participate, please take a moment to consider giving to something you believe in. A little bit can go a long way in helping other people.

Kansas City, August 30, 2021

“KC Tool will continue to place the utmost importance on communicating and serving the customer. We are excited to keep growing as a business and expanding the market for German Tools in America” said Derek Tran, Owner

Since KC Tool was founded in 2011, the company’s core focus has been to offer the best German brands while providing the best customer service. Staying true to this tenet has allowed the company to expand to the eighteen brands we currently offer to customers worldwide.

While KC Tool is sad to remove a brand from the product lineup and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, their commitment to being America’s #1 German Tool Distributor remains unchanged. This decision only helps strengthen the commitment to their remaining manufacturer partners and the German tool community. KC Tool looks forward to growing and serving everyone for decades to come.

Stay tuned for future updates relating to expanded and new product lines via KC Tool’s social media pages and newsletter. Please direct any comments/inquiries to the Customer Service department at customerservice@kctool.com or (913) 440-9766.

KC Tool Volunteers For Habitat For Humanity

collinLeave a comment

Last week, a group of us from KC Tool got the chance to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City. From a tree-lined street in downtown Kansas City (not all that far from the legendary Arthur Bryant’s), we spent the incredibly hot day installing new siding on two different homes.

We are all tool guys, obviously, and use them all the time. Let’s face it though, our main job is to SELL tools, so it was a great opportunity for us to get out there and spend a day USING tools. Though I think many of us were cursing being outside on one of the hottest days of the year in KC, I think I can speak for all us involved by saying it was an incredibly rewarding experience. It has been an interesting and tough time for the world lately and even more so for those who are less fortunate. Reading the stories of the future owners of the houses we were working on gave us perspective, humility and made us even more appreciative of our own lives. If a couple hours of sweat means the difference in someone’s life, then it is worth it.

We at KC Tool encourage you to volunteer. There is a need for people everywhere. It doesn’t take much to be a significant part of your local community and lift someone’s spirits. From the poorest neighborhoods to the most affluent communities, positive action and real change are always possible.

Take a look at some of the pictures we took from our day on site and be on the lookout for a special fundraiser coming soon to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City.

You may have seen a rumble here and there. You may have read a thing or two in the forums. You may follow Knipex on social media. If so… You know what this post is all about.

For everybody else: NEW TOOLS! Knipex has officially announced their new Twin Grip Pliers and they will leave your old slip joints in the dust. The list of improvements is amazing: push button, five adjustment positions, front jaw designed for stripped fasteners, side jaw with opposing teeth, made in Germany to the same Knipex standards you are accustomed to… and MORE! 

You need these. You know you do. Order your pair RIGHT NOW and we will deliver them to you ASAP when we get our first shipments in July. 

WOW! You guys loved our Father’s Day Sale!

You actually loved it so much that we ran out of our initial stock of Gedore 10” Universal pliers. We did not expect that! They are still available, but all new orders for them will be receiving a smooth, dipped red handle instead of the initial textured blue handle.

We know this may not be ideal. To make up for it, we would like to offer you 15% off all other Gedore products using coupon code GEDORE15, now until June 20th. We will also have a limited number of 10” red handled Gedore pliers available for $20 until the 20th as well (coupon does not apply to these pliers).

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 913-440-9766. And as always we thank you for shopping KC Tool!

We Are Saying Goodbye To kctoolco.com

We are saying hello to kctool.com! Okay, it might not seem like much, but we have been kctoolCO.com (with the “co” in the domain name) since we began ten years ago. Do you know how many people forget to put the extra two letters in? A lot! Including employees!

Well that is history now. After some negotiating and a lot of technical work behind the scenes, we can say goodbye to the C and the O. We are officially kctool.com (including email address, too). Ah…Simplicity at its finest. And no worries, BTW; kctoolco.com will still lead to your favorite German tool distributor, so you don’t need to do a thing!
