The newest member of Tool King e-commerce will be offering one factory refurbished auto tool at a great price once every day – until the day is over or supplies run out. Other Internet retailers have found huge success with this strategy. The goal is to sell the used automotive tools at a large discount to increase traffic and time spent on ToolKing.com. Ben Skigen, Marketing Director for Tool King says, “This should also have a great secondary effect on the brand awareness of Tool King.

We expect folks to constantly come back to Auto.Tooliday.com to check for updates on the new, featured auto tool for the day then tell their friends and peers online.”
As with any industry operating in the current world economic condition, automotive tool retailers are experiencing troubles. There has been a shift for consumers to buy refurbished auto tools or used auto tools instead of new automotive tools. Mr. Skigen adds that, “Many of our customers are experiencing growth in this economy. We have seen many of our professional customers filling there auto shops with paying customers because many folks are opting to buy a used vehicle instead of a new vehicle or even invest in their old vehicles by having them repaired or repairing the vehicle themselves.” Tool King sees this as a great opportunity to gain more market share by offering the brand-name, quality automotive tools at more affordable prices Tool King has also recently launched toologics.com, a blog and social network where professionals can get industry news, share articles, discuss tools and projects with peers and view relevant video.

Mr. Skigen has sees one thing stay consistent with Tool King since the start of the company in 1978. “Tool King is a brand that has always differentiated itself from the other tool retailers online and off by being experts of using professional power and selling factory refurbished power tools. There is a huge difference in factory refurbished tools and used tools. The former is basically a brand new power tool with a nice resume.”
