“The tools hold up on site”
"Finding decent gear down in Nelson without a huge markup or long wait can be tricky, but they’ve been good. The tools I've bought have held up on site, which is the main thing. Pricing seems reasonable, and things have turned up when they said they would. Definitely a solid option if you’re looking for reliable tools in NZ."
Dave R. - Builder, Nelson
“They stock gear that’s useful for electricians”
"I needed a particular insulated screwdriver set and some decent pliers, and Tradesman's Mate actually had the specific ones I was after. It’s good to see they stock gear that’s actually useful for electricians. The ordering process was straightforward, and it arrived in Hamilton pretty quickly. Nice to have another option for sourcing tools that cater to the trades across NZ."
Sarah K. - Electrician, Hamilton
"Tools that won't break the bank"
"As an apprentice, you're always looking for tools that won't break the bank but will still do the job. A colleague suggested Tradesman's Mate. I've picked up a fair bit of my starting kit from them, and so far, the quality seems decent for the price. It’s also handy that they ship right down to Dunedin without the freight costs being ridiculous. For anyone building up their toolset, they're worth considering."
Mike T. - Apprentice Plumber, Dunedin

from 15 reviewsFits perfectly. Great quality
This digital inclinometer is incredibly accurate and easy to read. The backlit display makes it perfect for low-light job sites!
Super sturdy build and magnetic base holds firmly on metal surfaces. A must-have for precise angle setups in construction or woodworking.
Battery life is impressive and the zero calibration function saves me so much time. Worth every penny for professional-grade results!
Used to spend ages getting angles right. This thing snaps on and gives you the reading instantly. The laser guidance makes positioning a breeze.
Bought three of these for my crew. Everyone loves them. Compact enough to fit in a pocket and accurate enough to trust on every job.
Better than expected, very solid. Rechargeable lithium battery which prevents the leakage of regular batteries. Easy to read and operate.
Bought this for my dad who is a carpenter. He uses it every single day and says it is the most useful tool he has bought in years.
Really impressed with the build quality. Aluminium frame feels solid and the display is easy to read even in bright sunlight. Would recommend to anyone in the trades.
Tried a few cheaper ones before and they were useless. This one is accurate, easy to read and the magnets are strong enough to use hands free. Worth every penny.
Compact, accurate and built to last. The USB charging is a great feature — no more hunting for batteries mid job. Highly recommend.
Solid tool. The dual laser is a nice touch and the magnetic base holds firm on any metal surface. Gets the job done quickly on site.
