06 Questions
How does Tool Leaks work?
Tool Leaks is a member buying program for mechanics, shop owners, fleet crews, and serious tool buyers. You activate your membership first, then active members can unlock 20% off eligible tools, 10% back in store credit, and $12.99 flat-rate shipping on tool orders.
Do I need a membership first?
Yes. You must activate your Tool Leaks Membership first. Once your membership is active and you are logged in, member pricing, rewards, and checkout perks unlock when eligible.
How do I unlock savings?
Join Tool Leaks first. Once your membership is active and you are logged in, eligible member pricing and rewards will unlock automatically during shopping and checkout.
How much do members save?
Active members can unlock 20% off eligible tools plus 10% back in Tool Leaks store credit. That gives members up to 30% total value before factoring in $12.99 flat-rate shipping on tool orders.
Do I pay for tools at checkout?
Yes. You pay for your tools in full at checkout. Your order is then added to the next Tool Leaks bulk buying cycle so we can group member orders together and buy at better pricing.
How much is Tool Leaks shipping?
Tool Leaks offers $12.99 flat-rate shipping on tool orders, no matter how much you buy. This helps keep the buying process simple and predictable.
02
Orders & Shipping
06 Questions
When is my order placed?
Member orders are batched and submitted on the 1st and 15th of each month. This is how Tool Leaks combines demand, buys in bulk, and helps lower tool pricing for active members.
Why does shipping take longer?
Tool Leaks is not normal retail shipping. We batch member orders, buy in bulk, and then ship once product arrives. Delivery can take up to 45 days because the wait is part of how members save.
Can I rush my order?
No. Rushing individual orders would break the bulk buying model. If you need something immediately, retail may be the better option. Tool Leaks is built for planned tool buying and better pricing.
What happens after checkout?
After checkout, your order is locked into the next bulk buying cycle. We submit member orders together, purchase the tools, receive inventory, and ship your order to your door.
Why do you batch orders?
Batching orders creates buying power. Instead of placing small individual orders, Tool Leaks combines member demand so we can buy in larger quantities and pass savings back to active members.
Where does Tool Leaks ship?
Tool Leaks currently ships to addresses within the United States. Make sure your shipping address is correct before your order is placed into a bulk buying cycle.
03
Membership & Billing
06 Questions
How much is membership?
Tool Leaks Membership is $19.99 per month with a 12-month commitment billed monthly. Membership must be active before member pricing, rewards, and checkout perks unlock.
Can I cancel my membership?
Tool Leaks Membership has a 12-month minimum commitment billed monthly. After the commitment is complete, you can manage or cancel your membership from your account.
What if my payment fails?
If your membership payment fails, your membership may become inactive. Member pricing, rewards, and checkout perks require an active membership.
Can I share my membership?
Membership is tied to one customer account. Shop-level or crew access may be available later, but for now each member should use their own Tool Leaks account.
Where do I manage membership?
You can manage your Tool Leaks Membership from your account page. Use the same email you used when activating your membership.
Do perks work if inactive?
No. Your Tool Leaks Membership must be active to unlock member pricing, 10% back in store credit, and member checkout perks.
04
Savings & Rewards
05 Questions
How does 20% off work?
Active Tool Leaks members can receive 20% off eligible tools. You must be logged in with an active membership for eligible member pricing to apply.
How does 10% credit work?
Active members earn 10% back in Tool Leaks store credit on eligible purchases. Store credit is good for 12 months and can be used on future Tool Leaks purchases.
Can rewards be combined?
Member pricing and store credit are designed to work together for active members when eligible. Some promotions, products, or exclusions may apply.
Is the discount automatic?
Eligible member pricing should apply automatically when you are logged in with an active Tool Leaks Membership. If it does not, make sure you are using the same email tied to your membership.
Why are prices lower?
Tool Leaks uses group buying power. Member orders are combined into bulk purchase cycles, which helps lower pricing compared to buying one order at a time through normal retail channels.
