  • Tradie Tool Insurance – What You Need to Know

Tools Insurance Discontinued

ACS Financial has made the decision to discontinue our tools insurance offering to focus on other core financial services. While we no longer provide this coverage, we remain committed to supporting tradies, businesses, and individuals with expert financial solutions.

Why Tools Insurance Matters

For tradies, tools are your most valuable assets. Losing them due to theft, damage, or loss can put your work on hold and significantly impact your income. Tools insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that your essential equipment is protected, helping you get back to work with minimal downtime.

Types of Trade Tool Insurance

Understanding the diverse needs of tradies, many insurance providers offer tailored solutions, including:

  • Tradie Tool Insurance – A comprehensive option covering a wide range of tools and equipment.
  • Personal Tool Insurance – Designed for individuals, offering coverage for personally owned tools.
  • Tool Insurance for Employees – Ensures that personal tools used on the job are protected.

While ACS Financial no longer offers tools insurance, tradies can explore alternative providers to find the right coverage.

Choosing the Best Insurance for Your Tools

Selecting the best tools insurance requires careful consideration of:

  • Scope of Coverage – Ensure the policy covers theft, accidental damage, and in-transit risks.
  • Flexibility – Look for policies that allow customisation based on your specific needs.
  • Affordability – Compare policies to find coverage that offers the best protection without breaking the bank.

Many insurers in Australia continue to offer comprehensive tools insurance that can be tailored to meet the needs of tradies across various industries.

Key Benefits of Tools Insurance Coverage

Tradies, including builders, carpenters, and handymen, often seek tools insurance for benefits such as:

  • Theft from Secure Locations – Protection if tools are stolen from a locked vehicle or job site.
  • Accidental Damage – Covers repair or replacement costs if tools are unexpectedly damaged.
  • Affordable Protection – Policies designed to fit within a tradie’s budget.

How Much Does Trades Tool Insurance Cost?

The cost of tools insurance depends on multiple factors, including:

  • Type and Value of Tools – Higher-value tools generally result in higher premiums.
  • Coverage Amount – Greater coverage limits can increase costs but provide better protection.
  • Business Size & Industry – Risk levels vary by trade, affecting premium costs.
  • Location – High-crime areas may have higher insurance costs.
  • Claims History – A history of claims can influence premium rates.

For those still seeking tools insurance in Australia, comparing quotes from multiple providers can help secure the best deal.

How to Make a Claim on Tools Insurance

If you need to file a claim, follow these steps:

  1. Report the Incident – Notify your insurance provider as soon as possible. If theft is involved, file a police report.
  2. Provide Documentation – Submit receipts, photographs, and any required claim forms. 
  3. Assessment – The insurer will assess the claim and may arrange an inspection.
  4. Settlement – Once approved, you will receive compensation based on your policy terms.

While ACS Financial no longer offers tradie tool insurance, we encourage tradies to explore alternative providers for tailored coverage. Protecting your tools is essential to maintaining your livelihood, so ensure you have the right insurance in place.
