Professional Use and Responsible Supply Statement
Fire and Rescue Tools Ltd — Our Commitment to Responsible Supply
Fire and Rescue Tools Ltd is a specialist supplier of professional rescue, access, emergency, and everyday carry tools. We supply fire and rescue services, police, local authorities, NHS trusts, emergency service professionals, and authorised trade customers across the United Kingdom, as well as individual consumers purchasing for lawful personal use.
We take our responsibilities as a retailer seriously. This page sets out our commitment to responsible supply, legal compliance, and professional practice across everything we do.
Our Products
We supply a broad range of professional tools including forcible entry and rescue equipment, ATEX certified lighting, multi-tools, bladed articles, and everyday carry items. All products on our site are intended for lawful use only. Where products are subject to legal restrictions — such as bladed articles or professional rescue equipment — we clearly state those restrictions on each product listing and take active steps to ensure responsible sale and delivery.
We do not market any product as a weapon. All forcible entry and rescue tools are supplied exclusively for professional emergency, rescue, and authorised trade applications.
Bladed Articles
Fire and Rescue Tools Ltd complies fully with the Criminal Justice Act 1988, the Offensive Weapons Act 2019, and all related legislation governing the sale and delivery of bladed articles.
All bladed articles are sold subject to age verification. We apply Royal Mail's Age Verified Delivery service to every bladed article we dispatch, without exception, regardless of blade length or locking mechanism. Recipients are required to present valid proof of age and identity to the delivery officer before any bladed article can be handed over.
No bladed articles are sold to persons under the age of 18. By purchasing any bladed article from our site, the customer confirms they are aged 18 or over and will use the item only in a lawful manner in accordance with UK law.
Full details of our bladed article policy are available on our Bladed Article Policy page.
ATEX and Specialist Equipment
Certain products we supply carry ATEX, UKEX, IECEx, or UL certifications for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. We maintain full certification documentation for all specialist equipment and provide links to relevant certificates, declarations of conformity, and user manuals directly on the relevant product listings.
Customers purchasing ATEX or other specialist certified equipment are responsible for ensuring the product is appropriate for their intended operating environment and that installation, use, and maintenance is carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with the relevant certification requirements and applicable legislation.
