Thinking about hitting the road and being your own boss? Running a mobile tool franchise isn’t just about selling spanners from a van—it’s a lifestyle, a business, and a relationship-building mission all rolled into one. If you’re practical, love tools, and enjoy a good chinwag with farmers, mechanics, and workshop owners, this could be right up your alley.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to run a mobile tool franchise with Multimax Direct, and why more and more people are swapping the 9-to-5 for the driver’s seat.
You’re in Control of Your Day
One of the biggest draws of running a mobile tool business is flexibility. You’re not tied to a desk, a factory floor, or a workshop. You’re out on the road, visiting farms, garages, contractors, and plant hire yards—bringing the tools directly to the people who need them.
With Multimax Direct, you get the freedom to build your own customer base in your territory. You decide your route, manage your own schedule, and grow the business at your own pace. Early bird? Crack on at sunrise. Prefer late starts? Sort your calls accordingly. It’s your van, your rules.
You’re More Than a Salesperson—You’re a Trusted Face
This isn’t about hard selling. It’s about showing up regularly, having the right gear on board, and being someone your customers can rely on. Whether it’s a contractor needing a ¾” socket set at 7 AM or a farm mechanic looking for a heavy-duty grease gun, you’re the one they call.
Your van becomes a mobile showroom. Tools are laid out, ready to be tested. And over time, you’re not just “the tool guy”—you’re part of their week. That rapport is where the magic (and repeat business) happens.
You’ve Got the Backing of a Solid Supplier
You’re not going it alone. Multimax Direct gives you the support and stock you need to hit the ground running. We specialise in quality workshop essentials—everything from hand tools and air hoses to PPE and power tools.
Franchisees also get access to the Rustung product range—our own line of high-quality, affordable tools built for the demands of farms, garages, and plant hire workshops. Think impact sockets, spanners, drill bits, cutting discs—products that get the job done without rinsing your customer’s budget.
You benefit from competitive pricing, regular offers, and a fast restock system that keeps your van full and your customers happy.
Every Day Looks a Bit Different
No two days are the same. One day you’re kitted out in steel-toes navigating a busy plant hire yard, the next you’re having a cuppa with a farmer in his workshop. You’ll be answering questions like:
- “Do you have a longer breaker bar?”
- “Which gloves won’t rip after half a shift?”
- “Can you get me one of those Rustung all-in-one socket sets by Friday?”
You get to know how different trades work, what tools they trust, and which brands they avoid. It’s hands-on, relationship-based selling—no cold calls or corporate scripts.
The Money’s in the Repeat Business
Tools wear out. Gloves tear. Batteries fail. That’s the beauty of this business—your customers need you often, not just once. Your van isn’t just a shop-on-wheels, it’s a supply lifeline.
With the right service, good stock, and a bit of hustle, it’s not hard to turn regular visits into regular income. Some of our franchisees bring in serious monthly revenue just by sticking to a consistent route, knowing their stock, and always delivering what they promise.
The Learning Curve is Real—but Worth It
If you’ve never run a business before, don’t worry. Multimax Direct gives you full training and ongoing support. You’ll learn everything from stock management and route planning to van setup and customer service tips.
But the best part? You’re not building someone else’s dream. You’re building your own.
Ready to Get Behind the Wheel?
If you’re practical, friendly, and ready to take control of your work life, running a mobile tool franchise with Multimax Direct could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. You’ll work with trusted brands, sell to a loyal customer base, and enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.
