Trade Account Power Tools — a practical guide for Australian trades from the team at Power Tools Direct Australia.
If you buy tools regularly for a business, a trade account gets you better pricing, simpler paperwork and someone who knows your kit.
Trade Account Power Tools: What a trade account gets you
- Trade pricing across the catalogue, tiered by volume
- Consolidated tax invoices — much easier at tax time
- Priority dispatch on urgent orders
- A named contact who knows what platform you run
- Quotes for larger fit-outs — apprentice kits, site kits, fleet replacement
- Purchase history in one place for warranty and insurance records
Who it suits
Builders, electrical and plumbing contractors, cabinetmakers, maintenance teams, facilities managers, government and education buyers, mine sites and anyone kitting out apprentices each intake.
There is no minimum spend to apply, but the pricing tiers reward consistent volume.

Bulk and project quotes
Kitting out a crew or replacing a fleet? Send us the list. We quote on volume and can usually do better than the listed price on multi-unit orders, particularly on cordless kits and storage systems.

Trade pricing, consolidated invoicing and priority dispatch.
Why Open a Trade Account
A trade account is for businesses that buy tools regularly — builders, electricians,
plumbers, carpenters, cabinetmakers, mechanics, facilities teams and government buyers. Rather than
hunting for a sale price every time you need a consumable, you get a standing discount across the
categories you actually buy, plus payment terms that suit how a business runs its cashflow.
What you get
- Tiered trade pricing based on your spend, not one-off haggling
- 30-day payment terms on approved accounts, with consolidated monthly invoicing
- A named contact who knows your fleet and your battery platform
- Priority stock allocation on high-demand lines and new releases
- GST tax invoices issued automatically for your BAS and depreciation records
- Fleet and site quotes for fit-outs, apprentice kits and tool replacement programs
How to apply
Applications need a valid ABN, your trading name and address, and contact details
for whoever approves purchases. Credit terms require trade references and take one to two business
days to assess. If you would rather not apply for credit, you can still register for trade pricing
and pay per order — you keep the discount without the credit check.
Buying for a fleet or a site
If you are standardising a crew on one battery platform, talk to us before you order. Committing
to a single system across drills, drivers, grinders and lighting almost always beats buying the
cheapest individual tool, because chargers and batteries are shared and downtime drops. We can put
together a comparison across Milwaukee,
Makita, DeWalt and
Festool with real pricing rather than RRP.
