Manage your tool inventory, track check-outs and returns, log maintenance, and monitor your total investment. Know exactly where every tool is and what it cost you.
As an automotive technician, you've invested tens of thousands of dollars in your toolbox. Yet you probably can't name every tool you own, don't know exactly how much you've spent, and have definitely lost track of at least a few items you loaned to coworkers.
When a $300 scan tool goes missing or you can't find that specialty socket you bought last month, there's no record to help you track it down. When it's time to file insurance or taxes, you're guessing at your total investment. And tools that need calibration or maintenance? Easy to forget until they fail at the worst moment.
The Digital Toolbox gives you a complete, searchable inventory of every tool you own. Log serial numbers, purchase costs, locations, and conditions. When you loan something out, mark it checked out with the borrower's name and due date. The system tracks everything automatically.
See your total investment at a glance, get reminders for maintenance and calibration, and never wonder "Who has my impact?" again. Your toolbox is your livelihood—now you can manage it like the serious investment it is.
Log every tool with name, category, serial number, purchase date, cost, location, and condition. Organize by type (power tools, hand tools, diagnostic equipment, etc.) and keep detailed notes on each item. Build a comprehensive digital record of your entire toolbox.
Mark tools as checked out when you loan them. Assign to a specific person, set a due date, and track return status. Get alerts for overdue items. See at a glance who has what and when you expect it back. Never lose another loaned tool.
Track purchase costs for every tool. See your total investment automatically calculated and updated. Break down spending by category or time period. Use the data for tax deductions, insurance documentation, or budgeting future purchases.
Log last service dates and set calibration schedules for precision tools. Get visual alerts when maintenance is due or overdue. Track service history for warranty claims. Keep torque wrenches, multimeters, and scan tools properly maintained.
Record where each tool is stored (drawer, bay, shelf, etc.). When you reorganize your box, update locations in seconds. Search by location to see everything in a specific drawer. Never dig through your entire box looking for that one tool again.
Find tools instantly by name, serial number, category, status, or location. Filter to show only checked-out items, tools needing maintenance, or specific categories. Search your entire inventory in milliseconds.
Your coworker borrowed your 1/2" impact three weeks ago. Without tracking, you'd forget who has it. But you marked it checked out in the Digital Toolbox with their name. One quick check and you know exactly who to ask to return it.
Your box is damaged in a shop fire or theft. Insurance asks for an itemized list with values. Instead of guessing, you export your complete Digital Toolbox inventory with serial numbers, purchase dates, and costs. Your claim is processed quickly and fairly.
Tax season arrives and you need to document tool purchases for deductions. Your Digital Toolbox shows you spent $4,200 on tools this year, with dates and categories. Your accountant thanks you for organized records.
Your torque wrenches need annual calibration for accuracy and warranty. The Digital Toolbox highlights which ones are due for service, ensuring you stay compliant and avoid failed measurements on critical jobs.
You've always wondered what your entire toolbox is worth. After logging everything in the Digital Toolbox, you discover you have over $60,000 invested. This knowledge motivates better tool security practices and justifies tool truck purchases.
The Digital Toolbox is a free tool inventory management system for automotive technicians. If you've ever loaned a tool and forgotten who has it, lost track of where something is stored, or wondered how much you've invested in your toolbox, this app solves those problems by creating a complete digital inventory with check-out tracking, location management, and cost monitoring.
When you loan a tool to a coworker or partner, mark it as 'Checked Out' in the Digital Toolbox and assign it to that person. Add an optional due date for return. The system tracks who has what, when it's due back, and alerts you to overdue items. When the tool returns, mark it available again. Never lose track of loaned tools.
