Tools Cover Is More Important Than Ever
Tradespeople are among those heavily impacted by tool theft in the country.
In 2022, Tradies were reported to have lost equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars across Australia . Apart from the devastating loss, most tradies could not get back to work for some time. This can be financially cripping for a tradesperson.
Are Tools of the Trade Covered Under Contents Insurance?
Tool cover should not be viewed as the same as Household Contents Insurance. It is a common mistake that many homeowners and tradies make. Contents insurance usually excludes business equipment and tools. If they are covered, tight claim limits are placed upon them. Also, you’re unlikely to be covered if you’re not at home.
For those reasons mentioned, tradespeople should always have a separate insurance policy covering tools and equipment used for work.
What is Tradie Tool Insurance?
Are your tools insured? Tools cover, otherwise known as general property insurance, protects your tools and transportable items if they’re lost, damaged or stolen.
For tradies who rely on their tools to help carry out their daily work, personal tool insurance is particularly important. Without tools insurance cover in place, you could find yourself in serious debt if something happens to your tools.
