This video just goes to show the importance of protecting your tools – whether that’s keeping a watchful eye on them when you’re on site or locking them out of reach of thieving hands once you’ve clocked off.
Tools insurance can protect you from potentially livelihood wrecking events like the ones mentioned in the video above.
If the worst happens and you need to claim, there are things you can do to help move things along – plus, more importantly, things you can do to help prevent a theft from happening in the first place.
