Tony's Tool Hire, Newcastle

Tonys Tool Hire was founded in Pongola, back in 2006. The very first tools were a lawnmower Andries took from his own garage, and a 200 litre mixer he bought from Turner and Morris. With four branches now in the northern KZN region (Pongola, Piet Retief, Dundee and Newcastle), Andries says he is well positioned and ready to take on the big names in the industry. The secret of any tool hire undertaking, like in any other business, is to be a trustworthy supplier. In our case it is not about an expiry date on a bottle of milk, but the condition of tools rented to your customers. To be a half an hour away from town, and to experience a breakdown on a mixer or a poker, is a whole day lost to the client, as well as financial implications if the job has to be done all over. To open a new rental shop with brand new and presentable machines is easy Andries says, but two years down the line when aging wear and tear has crept in, thats when the challenges begin. You must be prepared to renew and plough back in term
