Aviapool

Aviapool is an aviation tooling company founded in 2013. It has offices in Exeter, United Kingdom and Ada, Michigan. The company says it acts as a single source for aviation tooling. It describes itself as Everything Aviation Tooling. Its team reports more than 300 years of combined aviation experience. Aviapool works with a network of manufacturers, OEMs and MROs.

Aviapool works with customers to define technical requirements. It works with suppliers to source or produce tooling that meets those requirements. It then manages the process from start to finish. The company supplies aircraft tooling, test equipment and ground support equipment. Each request is checked for technical applicability, compliance, lead time and documentation before sourcing starts.

Customers can buy custom or standard aviation tooling. Tools are also available for lease and sale. Lease and rental options suit short or long term needs. Tools come from a tool pool and from in-house stock. The website says the company can help with tooling valuation as well. Its tool pool and in-house stock can support a maintenance input when buying equipment is hard to justify on cost, lead time or future use.

Repair, calibration and recertification cover tooling and test equipment. The company manages recertification in advance, so inventory stays compliant. Aviapool also offers consignment of tooling and can rehome surplus tooling for customers. Inventory valuation helps customers see the true value of their tooling.

Loan group pooling lets operators add underused or surplus tools to a shared pool. The tools stay at the operator's own facility. The Aviapool team manages the details, and the website says no fee is charged for this service. The website describes this as a way for a tool store that is not earning its keep to work harder.

Customers can build a tool list and send a request for quote through the website. Each request can include up to 50 items. The website says the team is ready to handle any challenge. The site also lists tool search, news and FAQ pages to help customers before they order.
