Tokentools welding supplies have set the standard for online sales. I was looking for a welder for my boyfriend's shed as a gift and did not have a clue what to get. I called Tokentools and spoke with Peter whom was extremely knowledgeable and explained things in a way that made sense to a non expert like me. I called around to at least 10 stores prior however they did not meet my expectations like Tokentools. The delivery process was overnight from Sydney to Brisbane and everything was packed in sturdy cartons and bubble wrapped. I was kept informed of the tracking details and received free shipping and free insurance. Girls, when looking for a new toy to keep your man happy in his cave, the staff at Tokentools are certainly worth consideration. I was also please to have a 5 year parts and labour warranty. Regards Penelope P.S I purchased the Alusync with remote tig torch, digital welding helmet, trolley, gas reg and tungsten kit for $1899. Look at me, now I speak like a pro :)

Handy tips

Money saving tips for your next welding project.

If you feel that you’re expenses for welding services are consuming an unusually large amount of your project’s budget, then perhaps your partner welding company might not be making a conscious effort on optimising their processes and minimising costs. To verify, observe if your welding partner is doing the following:

They should advise on eliminating unnecessary designs. A good example is trading off welded handles for slit handles in a box -that’s less welding and metal resources.
Providers of general welding services should be able to streamline their job to the other processes. Welding must be accounted for in the design – understanding that welding may greatly adjust and distort the product.
A good welding company understands the science behind welding. That is, heating metal may shrink, move and distort parts of the product. In fact, suppliers may deliberately assemble parts with errors knowing that welding will compensate for this.
Welding equipment downtimes must be minimised, otherwise this can result in unproductive time costs for both you and your fabrication partners. To effectively reduce downtimes welding companies should use the appropriate filler metal packages and schedule maintenance.

Your welding contractor should make your budget goals and quality of work its priority. Start searching for the best welding partner who can do both general welding or the more specialised pipe welding jobs. Ask them further about how they can help you lessen welding costs.
