We serve contractors, tradespeople, maintenance professionals, woodworkers, and serious DIY customers across Oʻahu and Maui. Whether you are replacing an everyday tool, building a complete set, or looking for something suited to a particular trade, our Honolulu and Kahului teams can help you compare available options.
Slim’s inventory includes individual tools, complete sets, metric and SAE options, tool storage, and specialized products from established hand-tool manufacturers. Brands, sizes, styles, and quantities may vary by store.
Find tools for tightening, loosening, assembling, and servicing nuts, bolts, fittings, and other fasteners.
Slim’s inventory includes adjustable and combination wrenches, flare-nut wrench sets, ratchets, standard and deep sockets, breaker bars, extraction tools, extensions, adapters, and organized mechanic’s tool sets.
Before purchasing, confirm the fastener size, metric or SAE measurement, required drive size, available clearance, and expected torque.
Shop pliers and cutters for gripping, bending, twisting, pulling, crimping, cutting, and holding materials.
Available products include tongue-and-groove pliers, slip-joint pliers, long-nose pliers, linesman’s pliers, diagonal cutters, end cutters, concrete nippers, bolt cutters, locking pliers, and locking clamps.
The right choice depends on the material, jaw design, cutting capacity, leverage, grip, and working space.
Find screwdrivers and drivers for installation, maintenance, equipment service, assembly, and everyday fastening.
Slim’s inventory includes Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, multi-bit drivers, nut drivers, hex keys, fastening sets, magnetic bit holders, extensions, and specialty driver tools.
Use the correct tip style and size to improve control and reduce the risk of damaging the fastener or tool.
Shop striking tools for framing, demolition, finish work, assembly, masonry, metalworking, mechanical work, and general construction.
Slim’s carries framing and rip hammers, titanium hammers, drilling and demolition hammers, dead-blow and mechanic’s hammers, mallets, and replacement handles or faces for select products.
When comparing striking tools, consider head weight, face style, handle length, balance, grip, and the material being struck.
Find pry bars, wrecking bars, claw bars, nail pullers, and other hand tools for lifting materials, pulling fasteners, removing trim, separating components, and controlled demolition.
The best tool depends on the required leverage, bar length, profile, working clearance, and whether the tool must reach behind or beneath finished material.
Slim’s carries utility knives, replacement blades, snips, shears, hand saws, wallboard saws, pipe and tubing cutters, and other hand-operated cutting tools.
Select a cutting tool based on:
Japanese pull saws, specialty knives, and other Japanese-designed products are featured separately.
Find chisels, punches, nail sets, files, rasps, scrapers, and shaping tools for woodworking, masonry, fabrication, fitting, deburring, surface preparation, and material removal.
Choose a product designed for the material and application. Struck tools should be used only with compatible hammers or striking equipment, and appropriate eye and hand protection should always be worn.
Slim’s inventory includes bar clamps, clamp-and-spreader tools, locking clamps, C-clamps, sheet-metal clamps, pipe clamps, and other holding equipment.
When choosing a clamp, consider jaw capacity, throat depth, required force, surface protection, material shape, and whether one-handed operation is important.
Accurate work begins with reliable measurement and layout.
Slim’s carries tape measures, squares, chalk lines, marking tools, gauges, rulers, and other hand-operated layout products for construction, carpentry, installation, fabrication, and maintenance.
Laser devices, electronic measuring tools, and levels are featured in a separate collection.
Keep tools protected, organized, and ready for the job.
