Is my current tools insurance limit sufficient?

The only way to know if your limit is sufficient is to do the math. List every tool you own — power tools, hand tools, specialty equipment, accessories, ladders, cords, cases — and look up the current replacement cost for each.

Common underinsurance scenarios: A $15,000 blanket limit sounds like a lot until you realize your drill set alone is $800, your impact wrenches are $1,200, your laser level is $1,500, and your diagnostic equipment is $4,000 — and you haven’t counted your hand tools yet.

Review your limit annually. Tools are replaced and upgraded constantly. A limit that was adequate two years ago may leave you underinsured today. Trade Safe can help you review your inventory and ensure your limit matches your actual exposure.
