Chiredzi Town Council wants a full workshop and civil works tool kit — 100 pipe wrenches in five sizes, socket boxes, a 30-ton trolley jack, a 400L compressor, 20 shovels, 20 picks and 10 wheelbarrows. Bids close 8 October 2026 at 14:00 CAT.
Chiredzi Town Council is equipping a workshop and a civil works gang in one order, and the list is long.
The plumbing tools are the standout: 20 pipe wrenches in each of 12, 14, 18, 24 and 36 inch — 100 wrenches in all, specified as heavy duty high-tensile alloy steel, drop-forged, with induction-hardened teeth and adjustable jaws.
The automotive workshop side covers a heavy duty socket box with 19-50mm spanners and a light duty box with 6-32mm, both chrome vanadium, plus a 30-ton trolley jack, a 400L air compressor, a heavy duty car wash machine, light and heavy torque wrenches, ring squeezers, coil spring clamps, 5-ton chain blocks, bearing pullers, filter removers, honing tools, circlip pliers, hex torque and 30-piece Allen key sets, and plug spanners in 14, 16 and 21mm.
The civil and general tools are 20 shovels, 20 picks with PVC handles, 10 heavy duty concrete wheelbarrows, 2 large trowels, 2 wooden floats, 2 builders squares, 2 spirit levels, hammers at 2 and 14 pounds, 3 chasing hammers, tape measures at 5m and 50m, an 18-step extension ladder, a 3hp diesel dewatering pump, 100 heavy duty hacksaw blades and 20kg of 12-gauge welding rods.
Delivery is to Chiredzi Town Council over 6 months, with bids valid for 60 days, funded from internally generated funds.

Watch out for
The listing carries 112 line items but the list visibly restarts partway through, so it reads as roughly 56 items published twice — confirm the true quantities before pricing
Many lines specify only best brand or best quality rather than a make or standard, which leaves the grade open to dispute at evaluation
The order spans plumbing, automotive, electrical and building trades, so few suppliers will cover all of it from one catalogue
The delivery period is 6 months, so this reads as a phased supply rather than a single drop
