Quick answers See all FAQs →
What is actually inside a TradeReady kit, and what grade are the tools?

Every TradeReady kit is a complete, trade-specific bundle of professional-grade tools — between 24 and 36 tools per kit depending on the trade. Each tool is the same kind of product a working journeyman carries on the job site: a true-RMS CAT-III multimeter for the electrician, a 1/2" EMT conduit bender, an auto-darkening welding helmet, a manifold gauge set and vacuum pump for HVAC, PEX crimpers for plumbing, and so on. We do not list every model number or brand on the public page because suppliers rotate, but we only choose tools that meet or exceed the spec a working tradesperson would buy on their own. Browse the full breakdown for any kit on the All Kits page.

What is the difference between a starter-level and a journeyman-grade kit?

TradeReady sells one tier — the level an apprentice or self-buying tradesperson needs to show up ready on day one. That is not bottom-of-the-bin starter, and it is not a $1,200 union-issue kit. It is the same grade of tools an electrician, plumber, HVAC tech, carpenter, welder, or auto mechanic picks up in their first year and uses for years. If you already have specialty tools from a previous trade (a high-end oscilloscope, a commercial-grade plasma cutter, etc.), the kit might overlap with what you own. If you are buying your first kit for your trade, this is what you need.

Can I return a tool, or replace one that breaks?

TradeReady kits ship as a complete bundle — every tool is selected to cover the work that kit is built for, so the product is the kit, not individual tools. If something arrives damaged or the wrong item shows up, contact us and we will arrange a replacement. For any later warranty, defect, or return questions (after the kit is opened and used), the tools inside each kit carry their own manufacturer warranties — so the easiest path is to reach us, tell us which tool and which manufacturer, and we will point you to the right warranty channel.

How long does shipping take, and what does it cost?

Shipping is free to anywhere in the US. Orders typically leave the warehouse within 1–2 business days and arrive in 3–5 business days after that — so plan for about a week from order to doorstep. You will get a tracking link by email as soon as the kit ships. For Alaska, Hawaii, or international orders, please reach out first so we can confirm availability and cost before you order.

How do I pay, and is it secure?

Checkout runs through Stripe — the same payment processor used by Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft. When you click "Order Kit" on a kit page, you go to a Stripe-hosted checkout page where you enter your shipping address and card details. TradeReady never sees or stores your card number. We accept all major credit and debit cards. After payment, Stripe emails you a receipt and we get a notification to ship the kit.

“The crimper and torch kit alone would have cost me more than the whole bundle — beats piecing it together piece by piece.”
