ABOUT US
Tools for Living was founded in the mid-seventies, and years later, we're still one of Florida's top sales representative companies. Through the years we've seen a lot of changes in the Florida market. We realize that personal service is still the key to being successful. Our sales team is dedicated to providing this service to our customers.
Being a Florida only sales group we understand what it takes to own and operate a successful retail store in our state. We have geared our product assortment to support that knowledge.
We present the Tools for Living web site and ordering portal for your convenience. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
