    A tool shop is set to officially open in Knaresborough later this month.

    Tool Mix will open on Hambleton Grove Industrial Estate on May 18. An official open day is planned to showcase the new business.

    According to Tool Mix’s social media it is “a one-stop shop for tools, workwear, storage and tool accessories”.

    It adds:

    “We offer the power and performance you need to tackle any job with confidence. We stock a wide range of leading brands including Milwaukee, Sealey, Laser and Ox Tools.”


    Tim France, founder and director of Tool Mix lives in Knaresborough and worked for Snap-On tools for eight years in Leeds and Harrogate before deciding to take the leap into opening his own business.

    The business currently has five employees, two tool vans and stocks bestsellers in the tool industry such as CT1 sealant.

    Mr France said:

    "I have driven for Snap-On in the area and I am a local lad so I already know our customers really well. With Tool Mix I don't want to be a faceless, soulless business – people often see a shop front and have no connection. I want to support local businesses, look after people and go above and beyond with our service. We want to do more than selling tools – we want to be part of the community."


    The open day event on Saturday, May 18 will take place between 10.30am and 3pm.

    There will be demonstrations of power tools, competitions, free refreshments and a charity prize raffle, with all proceeds going to St Michael’s Hospice and St Leonard’s Hospice. In the raffle a tool-kit of power tools worth around £500 will be on offer.
