If you are used to getting your tools from typical industrial supply stores or the big box stores, you may be surprised at how easy, enjoyable and affordable it is to have Skookum Tools as your new supplier. In fact, many of our clients tell us that they have saved money and improved productivity since teaming up with Skookum.
Skookum provides industrial products to industrial trades, including:

‘Skookum’ is a Chinook word relating to power in structure – a man, a tree, an engine that is powerful, strong or tough is said to be ‘skookum’. Adapted for common use in British Columbia, ‘skookum’ is often used to mean ‘reliable’, ‘first-rate’, ‘the best’.
Strong relationships with customers, products designed for industrial use, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to look after the customer is what Skookum is all about.
