Carpenter Tool Inventory App That Actually Fits How You Work
Catalog your Festool kits, Domino joiners, and dust extractors. Pair AirTags inside Systainers. Theft reports auto-include serials and purchase dates for every Festool you own.
Why generic tool apps fail carpenters
- Festool kits are $800–$3,500 per tool and the #1 carpentry theft brand
- Job-by-job tool transport means tools constantly get left behind at finished sites
- High-end track saws and joiners — none of which homeowners' insurance covers without proof
The tools carpenters actually lose
Average replacement cost, and why each one walks off a jobsite. Catalog these first.
| Tool | Avg replacement | Why it walks |
|---|---|---|
| Festool TS 55 track saw | $750 | Brand premium, universal carpentry demand |
| Festool Domino DF 500 | $1,300 | Specialty, almost no aftermarket competitors |
| Festool CT 36 dust extractor | $900 | Bulky but high resale |
| DeWalt 12" sliding miter saw | $750 | Universal demand |
| Bosch GLL 3-330CG laser | $700 | Pocketable + high resale |
| Mafell P1cc jigsaw | $1,400 | Pro-grade rarity |
Built for the way carpenters actually work
Systainer-aware inventory
Track Festool tools individually or by Systainer set. Photos, serials, and purchase dates per piece.
AirTag inside the case
Domino battery compartments, Systainer lids, miter saw bases — discrete AirTag pairings on every tool.
Insurance-grade documentation
Carpentry tools rarely covered without proof. ToolVault generates a contents schedule any insurer accepts.
Last-seen on every record
Left a track saw at the last jobsite or did it walk? GPS-tagged records show last-known location.

Not $80/month like the enterprise tools. ToolVault is built for the individual tradesperson — priced to match.

Common questions from carpenters
Can I track my Festool SYS-AZ Systainers in one record?
Yes. Create a Systainer record and assign tools to it. Lose the Systainer, lose everything in it — all visible in one report.
What's the right way to inventory a finish-carpentry trailer?
Create a Trailer profile and assign every tool to it. Tools in your van or shop go to other locations.
Will Festool serial numbers help insurance claims?
Yes. Festool serials are unique and globally recognized. Insurers prefer them over generic tool brands.
Should I AirTag my Domino?
Yes. The battery compartment fits a standard AirTag with room to spare. Pair it to the Domino record in ToolVault.
How do I prove a tool was left at the last jobsite vs stolen?
Last-seen GPS plus your assignment history shows where and when the tool went missing. Honest documentation protects you with both insurers and clients.
Can I export my list for a contents insurance schedule?
Yes. Export to PDF or CSV. Most contents insurance carriers accept the PDF as a scheduled-items rider.
