Secure High-Value Hand Tools in your Hardware Store

Some would say hand tools are the building blocks of a well-stocked toolbox. Hardware store owners would tell you that hand tools are highly prone to theft. While screwdrivers, hammers, and other hand tools may seem to be the least concern when it comes to theft, hand tool theft prevention is critical. These tools are often small enough to conceal, retain their retail value well, and can be relatively expensive.

While allowing customers to interact with hand tools is undeniably important to sales, adequate theft prevention is a must. RTF Global offers industry-standard security solutions to ensure every hand tool on display is rightly protected. 

RTF Global Security Options for Hand Tools

A pegboard hook and lock system is easily the best way to keep hand tools protected. Most hand tools are displayed on hooks attached to a pegboard. This allows for an organized display and merchandise customers can easily view. Adding peg locks or locking peg hooks from RTF Global prevents the merchandise from being slipped from the hook and stolen.
