How to Buy Tools in Bulk
- 1). Contact a tool manufacturer. If you are a retailer, you should be able to order tools in bulk at wholesale prices directly from the manufacturer. However, if you are not a retailer, manufacturers may refuse to sell to you without a minimum purchase that can be set quite high.
- 2). Look for business auctions. Tool companies and retailer distributors often sell huge amounts of bulk items in auctions, both real time and online. Sometimes these auctions are for businesses that close. Check you local classified ads and online. Tools at auction often sell for below wholesale prices.
- 3). Find a wholesale distributor to purchase your tools from. A wholesale distributor sells tools at prices slightly above factory cost. There are a number of wholesale distributors on the Internet, such as wholesalemart.com, palletsmart.com, and belowwholesaletools.com
