Skookum Tools utilises the well proven business model of the "Tool Truck" but applies this concept to a market that has not been serviced this way in the past. The primary focus of a Skookum Tools franchise is to provide industrial quality consumable shop supplies to a variety of manufacturing and repair trades from a mobile "warehouse on wheels". The customer base consists of metalworking, woodworking, fibreglass, marine, aircraft, automotive, government and institutions.
