Save money with Special Tools
Innovative thinking, outstanding production practices and uncompromising customer service:
For over 90 years SPX Service Solutions has been developing and manufacturing Special Tools, which are essential for professional vehicle maintenance and repair.
What is a Special Tool?
Standard tools are in many cases sufficient for the repair and maintenance of today's vehicles. There are, however, an increasing number of situations, where standard tools will not suffice and the job at hand can either not be completed at all, or not with the required level of quality or within the required timeframe. For these cases a Special Tool is required - especially developed for a specific job on a specific vehicle.
Why are Special Tools more expensive than standard tools?
Unlike standard tools, Special Tools are generally not required nor produced in very large numbers. The relatively high development costs include all phases of tool development from initial design drafts to finished production drawings to mathematical design models, building of prototypes and testing. All of these costs then need to be amortised over a much smaller production run, than would be the case for commercial tools, which are produced in volumes of "millions" as compared to at best mere "thousands" for Special Tools.
Is the purchase of more expensive Special Tools worthwhile?
Even if the tools perhaps resemble each other visually, Special Tools are nevertheless engineered for a special working process on a specific vehicle. They help to speed up the repair and make it more efficient: Labour time studies showed that the use of SPX Service Solutions Special Tools can reduce the time for repair and maintenance compared to standard tools.
