Aircraft Mechanics and Maintenance Engineers require premium quality level toolkits that are professionally set out in a user-friendly layout/s giving clear visual tool control. Accidental misplacement or loss of a tool is a high risk factor in the aircraft industry and commonly reffered to as FOD (Foreign Object Debris or Foreign Object Damage). The first step to an effective Tool Control is by implementing visual tool control with shadow foam inlays and then marking tools with laser engraving. Tool Control with visual Tool Control creates a basic yet well-accepted level of tool contol, reducing the risk of FOD, improving productivity and ultimately saving money and time taken in searching for lost tools and and replacing of such.

Aviation Safety Authorities such as EASA, CASA, DASA, FAA, MAA require accountability of tools in to reduce FOD. Part 145 requires an organisation to demonstrate effective tool control which can at any time be audited. Henchman has developed Tool Control Sytems to assist our customersin being compliant.  This is achieved by providing the very best in custom toolkits with visual tool control foam inlays, laser etched identification and our famiily of Electronic Tool Control.
