Prevent tool theft and aid in recovery.

As a tradesman, have you ever had expensive power tools stolen from your vehicle, garage or work-site?  Even if you haven’t, you probably know someone who has.  The worst thing is you probably don’t have to go further than the local pub to have someone try and sell your own stuff back to you.  Being a victim of this gutless crime can have ongoing consequences for your business; delays on- site and loss of income until your costly items can be replaced – worse still if you’re not insured.
