Imagine waking up one morning to find all your tools have been stolen out of your Ute. Not only can you not earn a living but you also have the expense of replacing the stolen tools which can add up to thousands of dollars. It may take a couple of days of time to source the new tools as well. Unfortunately, tools are one of the most common stolen items so taking out insurance makes sense. It’s not just theft of tools too, if you’re involved in a motor vehicle accident and your tools are in a toolbox or trailer then they can also be damaged as well.
