In 2020, tool theft cost tradespeople \u00a317.5 million in London alone, according to a new study by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hertstools.co.uk\/tool-theft-hotspots-in-london-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Herts Tools<\/a><\/strong>. There are plenty of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/top-tips-on-reducing-the-risk-of-theft-from-vans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">security measures that will make your van less likely to be broken into<\/a><\/strong>, but there are also many ways that you can make your tools less attractive to thieves and easier to find or replace should the worst happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our 5 tips on protecting your construction tools from theft, below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Register your tools online<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/tool-security-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tools and equipment next to van\" class=\"wp-image-39058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201142\/tool-security-2.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201142\/tool-security-2-501x332.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The police often use property registers to find the owners of stolen items they\u2019ve recovered. So, list your tools on popular registers such as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.immobilise.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Immobilise Property Register<\/a><\/strong>, to increase the chances that they\u2019ll be returned to you if they\u2019re stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, many tool brands have online databases that you can register your tools\u2019 serial numbers on for free. By doing this, you\u2019ll have proof of ownership. Many insurance providers require this when you\u2019re making a claim following tool theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Mark your tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools that are clearly engraved or permanently marked are harder for thieves to resell, as potential customers will be suspicious that they\u2019re stolen. Plus, marked tools are easier for you to identify as yours should they be found after the theft. If you often work on site or alongside other tradespeople in homes, marking your tools can also stop them accidentally thinking your tools are theirs and taking them home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your mark by spraying a dot of brightly coloured spray paint onto your tools. Or, use an engraving tool to scratch your initials into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Install tracking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/tool-security-3.jpg\" alt=\"Gardener using gardening tools\" class=\"wp-image-39057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201133\/tool-security-3.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201133\/tool-security-3-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tradespeople opt to use GPS tracking on their high-value tools, such as powered hand tools, which are 10 times more likely to be stolen in London, according to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hertstools.co.uk\/tool-theft-hotspots-in-london-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Herts Tools<\/a><\/strong>&#8216; data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can attach a GPS tool tracking device to the tool and then download an app to see exactly where it is on a map, in real time. So, if you&#8217;re hit by tool theft, you&#8217;ll be able to tell the police exactly where they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many GPS tool tracking devices attach to the tool\u2019s battery, so they\u2019re less likely to get lost or damaged. Systems currently on the market include <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpstooltracker.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPS Tooltracker<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abax.com\/uk\/tool-tracking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abax<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Create an inventory of your tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As your business grows, so does your toolkit. It\u2019s important that you keep a close eye on all your tools, so that you\u2019ll be aware if something is stolen or lost. Create a simple tool inventory list so you\u2019ll have a list of all your equipment. It\u2019s a good idea to include details such as the tool\u2019s name, type, serial number and quantity. You might also want to attach pictures or hard copies of your tool receipts to your inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have multiple staff working on different tasks, you could use this list as an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdffiller.com\/en\/catalog\/equipment-sign-out-sheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">equipment sign out sheet<\/a><\/strong> too, so you can see who\u2019s got your tools at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Store your tools safely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/tool-security-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tradesperson carrying tools in tool belt\" class=\"wp-image-39059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201150\/tool-security-1.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/16201150\/tool-security-1-500x332.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be the last thing you want to do at the end of a long day, but it\u2019s important to take your tools out of your van and store them indoors at night.
