The Specialist Division serves the maintenance, repair and overhaul market which is estimated to be worth in excess of £3 billion. The market includes power tools, hand tools, personal protective equipment, janitorial product and general industrial supplies. Buck & Hickman sells to end user industrial customers and Birchwood Price Tools sells predominantly to trade customers.

Buck & Hickman is the UK's leading distributor of tools, maintenance and health & safety products. We have been successfully trading for almost 180 years and were in fact the first major tools distributor to be established in the UK.
Buck & Hickman has also re-launched its trade counters under the Tooltastic brand name as a part of a major marketing programme to attract tradesmen of all types to visit its branch locations throughout the UK.
The new Tooltastic trade counters carry an extensive range of tools, consumables and safety equipment designed specifically for the busy tradesman on the move and also the serious DIY hobbyist.

BPT was formed in April 2009 as the result of a merger between Birchwood Products and Price Tools. This unique business combination boasts over 40 years experience in the industry more than 20,000 products and the latest innovations from the UK's brand leaders.
