TradesMen ToolCore

TradesMen ToolCore — the authoritative catalog of tools, gear, and compatibility.

A subscription catalog and API that maintains authoritative, structured data on tools and equipment — specs, components, compatibility, and lifecycle — for tradespeople, companies, and developers.

What TradesMen ToolCore is

TradesMen ToolCore is the reference-data platform of the ecosystem. It maintains an authoritative master catalog of tools and equipment — brands, models, batteries, chargers, accessories, specifications, documents, images, cross-compatibility, and lifecycle status — curated by internal staff and delivered through a dashboard and a versioned REST API. Where TradesMen Tools tracks the physical gear you own, ToolCore is the encyclopedia of what tools exist and how they fit together. It is a subscription product with User Pro and Company Pro tiers, API keys for integrators, and plan-based export limits.
