Tool Crate

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Tool Crate is a quarterly subscription box tailored for contractors, DIY homeowners and tool lovers! We work with industry experts and people just like you to curate the best, premium quality tools, PPE and apparel. 

We're all about premium, highly-rated products, recommended by industry experts. You won't find any no-name brands in here. For every crate, we include a good mixture of stuff from the "big guys" to the smaller boutique tool companies, creating really cool stuff that you've maybe never heard of before. Most products in our box you can't just find at your local hardware store and our customers love that about us. Every Tool Crate will come with 3-8 items, ranging from tools and PPE to apparel and swag. You're going to save big with Tool Crate! 

The cost of each mystery box is $249.99 CAD every quarter. If you're in the US, we convert that to USD at the current exchange rate at the time of the transaction. 

Nope, but that's what makes it fun and exciting. It will be Christmas, four times per year! We may throw out some teasers or reveal some items via Instagram and in emails, but everything else is a surprise. 

We're always looking for cool products to add into our Tool Crates. We're building an amazing community of tradespeople, homeowners and tool lovers everywhere - which means great exposure for you. If you are interested in partnering up, please get in touch by emailing info@toolcrate.co. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our ads may display products that have been featured in past boxes or sales. We may reveal the contents of the box through spoilers as the season goes on. If we’ve revealed the most recent box, our ads may display the contents of that box.

If you want to know what’s included in the current box, follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see all the spoilers and full reveal! Otherwise, the contents of your box will be a fun surprise!

It depends on when you sign up. We cut off subscriptions for each season's box 1 month prior to shipping. This allows us to make our orders and assemble each crate. For example, if you sign up in February, your first box will be the Spring Tool Crate and that will be shipped in April.
