NOTHING'S AS TOUGH AS TONY

TONY'S INSPECTION PROCESS

With over 32 years experience, King Tony knows that it isn’t just toughness that makes his tools such a high quality. All of Tony’s tools are designed with you in mind, including easy metric and imperial colour coding systems, comfortable hand grips and easy accessibility.

​

Each tools needs to pass up to 19 inspection tests before it gets Tony's "tough" tick of approval. 

1_King Tony Inspection Test_Spectrometer

1. Spectrometer Test
Measures and analyses the exact
percentage of materials such
as Iron, Manganese, Nickel and
Chromium in the tools

2_King Tony Inspection Test_Hand Gauge M

2. Hand Gauge Measurement
Ensures the screw taps
measurement is precise
and meets DIN Standards

3_King Tony Inspection Test_Rockwell Har

3. Rockwell Hardness Test
Applies pressure to the tool to
ensure it’s built tough and won’t
fracture under extreme pressure

4_King Tony Inspection Test_Salt Water S

4. Salt-Water Spray Test
48 hour high salt environment
simulations to measure
rust resistance

5_King Tony Inspection Test_Plate Thickn

5. Plate Thickness Test
Chemical testing to check
plate thickness is of King Tony’s
quality standards

6_King Tony Inspection Test_Fracture Tes

6. Fracture Test
Certifies that the maximum torque
exceeds the DIN Standards, and the
tool won’t fracture under pressure

7_King Tony Inspection Test_Precision Cu

7. Precision Cutting
Cuts through raw materials and
is closely inspected for any
flaws or microscopic fractures

8_King Tony Inspection Test_Mounting Pre

8. Mounting Press Machine
Creates metal structure samples
to check for structural deficiencies

9_King Tony Inspection Test_Grinding & P

9. Grinding & Polishing Machine
Inspects and smooths tool
for maximum clarity and
premium shine

10_King Tony Inspection Test_Microscopic

10. Microscopic Hardness Test
Analyses the composition of metal after heat treatment to determine that maximum hardness has been achieved

11_King Tony Inspection Test_Temperature

11. Temperature & Humidity Test
Environmental simulations to test the
tool's durability in temperatures
between -20ËšC and 70ËšC

12_King Tony Inspection Test_Tension Tes

12. Tension Test
Determines if the tool
exceeds the DIN Standards
maximum pull force

13_King Tony Inspection Test_Hammering T

13. Hammering Test Machine
Tests the lifetime and strength of the
hammer head and wooden shaft

14_King Tony Inspection Test_Plier Class

14. Plier Class Measure Test
Establishes the cutting force of each
plier and its lifetime durability

15_King Tony Inspection Test_Micro Torqu

15. Micro Torque Test
Designed to test maximum torque of
smaller tools to determine durability

16_King Tony Inspection Test_Vision Meas

16. Vision Measuring Machine
Measurement of tools with tight
angles to ensure it's built to precision

17_King Tony Inspection Test_Torque Wren

17. Torque Wrench Test
Follows DIN ISO Standard testing
to determine torque tolerance at
20%, 60% and 100%

18_King Tony Inspection Test_Carbon Stre

18. Carton Strength Test
Determines the strength of the packaging to assure the tool stays in quality condition during storage and transit

19_King Tony Inspection Test_Insulation

19. Insulation Test
Ensures that the insulation
on tools rated for 1000 volts
is compliant and offers ample
protection to the user
