automotive

For more than 50 years, Air Tool Services has supplied, serviced and supported industrial power tools across the automotive industry, from vehicle manufacturing and assembly to commercial vehicle and heavy-duty maintenance.

Automotive production demands tools that perform consistently, day after day. Whether you’re fastening critical components on a production line, carrying out maintenance in a busy workshop or keeping a heavy-duty fleet on the road, the right tooling can make a measurable difference to productivity, quality and uptime.

We work with leading manufacturers including Ingersoll Rand, Universal Tools, Desoutter and other specialist tool brands, giving customers access to a comprehensive range of pneumatic, cordless and electric tooling backed by genuine technical expertise.

Our experienced team understands that choosing a tool is only the beginning. We can help with application advice, tool selection, repair, calibration and preventative maintenance, supporting your equipment throughout its working life.

From individual workshop tools to production tooling and connected fastening systems, Air Tool Services provides the equipment and expertise to help automotive businesses work faster, safer and more efficiently.

PERFORMANCE BEHIND THE TOOL

Tom Kirby

Sales Engineer

Tom works closely with automotive customers to understand the application behind the tool, helping them select equipment that delivers the right combination of performance, reliability and operator usability and safety.

His practical approach covers everything from workshop and maintenance tooling to production applications, fastening and torque controlled systems. By understanding how a tool will actually be used, Tom can recommend equipment that works with the customer’s process rather than simply fitting a specification sheet.

Whether you’re looking to improve productivity, reduce downtime, replace an ageing tool or introduce new cordless and connected technology, Tom brings practical product knowledge and application focused advice to every conversation.

“The best tool isn’t necessarily the most powerful one. It’s the one that works best for the job, the operator and the process.”
