Part-on Tools Blog

Buying Guides, Tools

Businesses are always looking for ways to boost efficiency and ensure quality. When it comes to investing in new tools – particularly for precision tasks like setting rivets or rivet nuts – it's easy to focus solely on the shiny new tool. But at Part-On, we know that the true measure of success isn't just the tool itself.

It's about the full meal deal.

Imagine your tool purchase like ordering a gourmet burger. Every layer contributes to a truly satisfying and successful outcome. If you miss a layer, you're left with something incomplete and far less effective.

Here’s our 'recipe' for tool success:


The Bun: The Tool Itself

This is your foundation. Choosing the right, high-quality tool is undeniably critical. It needs to be robust, reliable, and suitable for your specific application. But, much like a bun, it can't deliver the full experience on its own.


The Patty: Operator Training

Even the best tool is only as good as the hands operating it. Operator training ensures your team knows how to use the tool safely, efficiently, and to its full potential. This means consistent application, reduced errors, and maximised output. Without skilled operators, your tool might underperform, leading to frustration and wasted resources.


The Lettuce & Sauce: Correct Setup & Backup Spares

These are the vital, often-overlooked ingredients that make everything else work smoothly.

  • Correct Setup:Is your tool properly setup for the fastener size and type? Incorrect settings can lead to poor installations, rework, and tool wear.
  • Backup Spares:Having essential wearing parts readily available dramatically reduces downtime. When a component needs replacing, you can often do it in-house quickly, rather than waiting for external repairs.

The Tomatoes: The Right Fasteners

You wouldn't put just any topping on your burger! The fasteners you use must be precisely matched to your tool setup and application requirements. The wrong fastener can compromise the integrity of your product, cause tool damage, and lead to costly failures. Compatibility is key.


The Cheese: Reliable Company Support

Things can and do go wrong. When they do, you need a responsive, knowledgeable partner like Part-On to assist with repairs, offer troubleshooting advice, and keep your operations running. This 'sticky' layer of support holds everything together when the pressure is on. Downtime is expensive, and having a trusted partner for prompt assistance is invaluable.


Comprehensive Partnership with Part-On

The company you source your tools from should be more than just a supplier; they should be a genuine partner. At Part-On we don't just supply your tooling but also offer the training, setup guidance, spare parts, correct fasteners, repair and servicing and ongoing technical support needed for your complete success.

The verdict? SUCCESS is the WHOLE Burger! 

At Part-On, we understand that true value comes from a holistic approach. We don't just sell tools; we provide the complete "meal deal" – from expert advice and operator training to correct setup, quality fasteners, repairs and responsive after-sales support.

Don't settle for just the bun when you can have a gourmet experience that ensures consistent, reliable results for your business.
