Hand & Power Tools
Hand and power tools cover the general-purpose tooling a maintenance crew or fabrication team needs day to day: hand tools, drills, grinders, and site power equipment, sourced as a fleet rather than one-off purchases. NLS sources branded hand tool sets, corded and cordless power tools, and site equipment (grinders, drills, saws) to match MRO and fabrication workshop requirements on Saudi industrial and infrastructure projects.
Hand and power tools are the category every other category depends on: a cable can be sourced perfectly and a valve specified correctly, but the crew still needs a torque wrench, a hand grinder, or a cordless drill to actually install them. It's an easy category to under-plan, because individual tool purchases feel small next to a cable or valve line item, but a maintenance department or a fabrication crew running short on basic tooling loses more time to a missing 10mm socket than most people expect.
NLS sources two broad groups. Hand tools cover wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, measuring and marking tools, sourced as individual items or as organized sets for a specific trade (mechanical, electrical, general maintenance). Power tools cover corded and cordless drills, angle grinders, cut-off saws, impact wrenches, and site equipment like portable generators and compressors, sized to the duty the crew actually performs, a site maintenance crew and a heavy fabrication shop don't need the same grinder class.
On Saudi projects, this category shows up as initial tool-fit-out for a new maintenance department or fabrication shop, ongoing consumable and replacement supply (grinding discs, drill bits, blades wear out and need reordering on a schedule), and site mobilization kits when a project brings on a new crew that needs to be tool-equipped from day one, similar in structure to how PPE kits get ordered for workforce mobilization.
NLS quotes hand and power tools against a tool list or a trade-specific kit specification, and returns a priced quote in USD, with bulk pricing on fleet-scale orders. Common branded hand tools and standard corded power tools typically source fastest; specialty or heavy-duty site equipment (large compressors, generators) usually carries a longer lead time given lower stock depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can NLS supply a full tool fit-out for a new maintenance department?+
Yes. NLS quotes hand and power tool fit-outs against a tool list or trade-specific kit specification, covering hand tools, power tools, and site equipment as one order rather than sourcing each item separately.
Does NLS supply consumables like grinding discs and drill bits, or just the tools themselves?+
Both. NLS sources the tools and the consumables that wear out and need regular reordering, grinding discs, drill bits, cut-off blades, so a maintenance department can set up recurring supply rather than a one-time purchase.
What's the difference between corded and cordless power tools for site use?+
Cordless tools give mobility without a power source nearby, useful for site work away from a panel or generator. Corded tools generally run at consistent power without battery management, often preferred for continuous shop or fixed-location use.
Can NLS supply tool kits for a new crew mobilizing on a project?+
Yes. NLS quotes tool mobilization kits scaled to crew size and trade mix, similar in structure to how PPE kits are ordered for workforce mobilization, so a new crew arrives fully tool-equipped from day one.
