About Us

At HMT, we don’t follow trends - we set them. We were the first
to recognise the unmet needs of metalworkers, realising that it wasn’t just about better tools; it was about faster, safer setups and greater flexibility in the toughest environments.

Every product we create is built around real-world feedback. We listen to professionals like you, and we use your insights to drive our R&D and fuel our innovation. This constant evolution ensures our tools stay ahead of the curve.


In just 10 years, we’ve redefined metalworking with our patented VERSADRIVE® system – the world’s first modular tooling solution that’s 15x faster than traditional methods.
Plug-and-play with any power tool, including cordless, VERSADRIVE® isn’t just a tool; it’s your unfair advantage on-site.

 

Pair VERSADRIVE® with our STEELBOR® mag drills, broach cutters and countersinks and our STAKIT® modular storage system, and you’ve got the ultimate kit to take on any challenge. Together, it’s a complete system for professionals who demand performance without compromise.
