Tool Reconditioning Service
CE3S and Excelta recondition precision hand tools of every brand and style and restore them to their original specifications, no matter where you bought them. Refurbishing costs a fraction of buying new and extends the life of the tools you already own.
If a tool turns out to be beyond repair, you aren’t charged and it comes back to you at no cost. Tools with broken tips, severely chipped blades, broken handles, or broken joints are rejected automatically. Turnaround is quick. Refurbished and repaired tools usually come back in as little as four weeks.
Service Features and Highlights
- Reconditioning for all brands and styles of hand tools
- No charge for tools that can’t be repaired
- Fast turnaround, typically within four weeks
- Sharpening for dull, chipped, and unregistered blades
- Grip upgrades to static dissipative, ESD-safe versions
