We Are Katool: An Automotive Garage Equipment Brand
Buying gear used to be a nightmare. You were stuck between a rock and a hard place—either you bled cash for the shiny big-name brands or you rolled the dice on some sketchy import that would likely rattle apart. Katool exists to kill that compromise. We are the fix. A bridge between professional-grade durability and a price tag that doesn't make you wince. The cost of labor is highway robbery now... so do the work in-house.
Katool Usage
Our gear is for people who need reliability without paying the "legacy tax" attached to the famous brands. We cover the whole ecosystem.
If you want to know why Katool doesn't crumble, you have to look at the guts. We use pure copper windings in the motors. Not that copper-clad aluminum junk the cheap guys use. Copper has way less resistance. Heat is the reaper in a tire shop. Our copper motors stay cool and keep twisting. The jaws on our tire changers... we cook them. Interface carburization. Hard as a coffin nail.
Professional Auto Shops
High-volume joints need stuff that doesn't quit. They use our machines for the daily grind. In a commercial bay, downtime is the enemy—it burns hundreds of dollars an hour. That is why we keep replacement parts on the shelf.
Home Garages and DIYers
We back the serious gearhead who is tired of outsourcing. With Katool, you stop paying another man to lift your truck. The boom in "barndominiums" means guys are putting 12-foot lifts next to their living rooms. It's a lifestyle.
Fleet Maintenance
Logistics crews use our stuff to keep their own trucks running. If you have a fleet of F-350s, you don't want them sitting in a dealer queue. You fix them in the yard. Get them back on the road.
Katool Bestsellers
Katool KT-T800 Tire Changer Machine
The KT-T800 is the mule. The grunt. It swings a 2.0 HP motor with pure copper veins, kicking out 1.5KW of raw twist. Most entry-level junk stops at 1.1KW and chokes on a stiff sidewall. Not this one. It handles run-flats without whining.
Katool KT-B760 Wheel Balancer
Speed matters. The KT-B760 is for when the clock is ticking. It's got an auto-ruler—no more fat-fingering the measurements and chasing weights all afternoon. Seven seconds and you know where the lead goes. The body is thick... 3mm steel plate.
Katool Two-Post Car Lift KT-H120
When you need to hoist a whale, you get the KT-H120. It lifts 12,000 pounds. We're talking dually trucks. It uses a symmetric arm design. This is for the big iron. But listen... you need good concrete. 5.9 inches thick. 3000 PSI.
Infrastructure & Installation
Why Customers Choose Katool
Money talks. People realize they get nearly all the capability of the big brands for a fraction of the cost. We are the Budget Workhorse.
Gravity is unforgiving. You have to respect the engineering requirements. For the big lifts, the slab is your life insurance. You need almost 6 inches of cured concrete.
We Answer the Phone
The real reason people stay? We pick up. We stock parts in Texas. If a switch melts, we ship a new one. We don't ghost you like the generic imports do.
Build Quality
The build quality is real. Copper motors. Reinforced steel. We slap a 3-year structural warranty on the lifts because we trust the welds.
Cost-Effectiveness
The equipment pays for itself after a few jobs. It’s simple math. Stop paying the dealer.
Katool Company Values
We don't play around. We proof-load these things to 150 percent capacity statically. If it says 10k, it held 15k at the factory. We want margins that survive shock loads.

Katool Reviews
People talk. Here is what they say.
FAQ: Do You Need Garage Equipment?
Power needs? The tire machines usually sip 110V household juice. The big lifts? They need the heavy stuff... 220V Single Phase.
Got oil? Nope. The government hates shipping fluids. Go buy AW-32 or 46 at the local store.
Unloading? You need a forklift. Or a tractor. The driver isn't going to hand-bomb a 2,000-pound crate off the truck. Be ready.
