The eagerly awaited annual PlaceMakers Monster Tool Sale kicks off next Friday! This year marks the sale’s tenth anniversary, so the scale of the event will be quite different from previous years. Large-scale in-person expos will take place over the opening two days of the sale in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. They will be open to everyone, with free entry, huge discounts and the option to pay by card for purchases and orders on site! There will also be all sorts of fun interactive games, so bring your family and children along for a look!

 

Save the dates! The PlaceMakers team in blue looks forward to seeing you on 23 February–24 February!

 

No way! Can people in the building industry take the kids out, enjoy some food and shopping, and pick up tools and accessories while getting some work done?

 

No way! Can DIY enthusiasts and everyday households buy tools at trade prices too?

 

Yes way! The PlaceMakers Monster Tool Sale, one of the building industry’s most eagerly awaited annual events, returns next Friday (23 February) with huge discounts on tools and accessories. These include power tools, hand tools, ladders, measuring equipment, fasteners, adhesives, outdoor equipment and safety gear. The sale runs until 31 March 2024.

 

 

This year, however, we will also hold Monster Tool Sale expos simultaneously in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch on 23 February and 24 February. Everyone is welcome. You can pay by card and take your purchases home or place an order on site. Spend the qualifying amount and you can enter to win a range of major prizes from us and our suppliers.

 

 

There will also be exciting activities such as leaf-blower golf and indoor cricket where you can show off your skills, along with free promotional gifts. Children can enjoy all sorts of food and fun too, including face painting and a monster colouring competition with prizes.

Whether you are a builder, a DIYer, looking to add a couple of tools to your home collection or simply keen to join the fun, we would love to see you. We promise you and your family will have a great time and come away with something worthwhile!

 

 

Just how good will the sale prices be? We will keep that under wraps for now. Come along to the expo and find out!
