" Tools built for farming" from Jefferson Tools

Jefferson Tools is a manufacturer based at the heart of the rural community in Northern Ireland and its tools are available through a large base of agricultural merchants across the UK. A familiar presence at LAMMA and many of the agricultural and county shows, the company offers a range of high quality tools and equipment specifically curated for the farming community. That includes everything you will need to keep safe as you go about your daily work.

“We understand the diverse needs and requirements on the farm and we also know users want quality, reliability and value for money,” explains Darren Binns, National Sales Manager for Jefferson Tools. “Our founders’ father and grandfather came from a farming background, so we know our stuff. Our tools are sourced from trusted manufacturers and we make sure every single one is comparable in quality to any of the ‘big name’ brands.”

Here are a selection of Jefferson Tools products proving most popular with farmers and agricultural buisnesses.

Tractor and vehicle repair

The JEFJKBTL20W is a 20 tonne welded bottle jack engineered for durability, efficiency and safety. Constructed with high-quality, heavy-duty steel, the jack is built to withstand the rigorous demands of farm work. Its heat-treated extension screw and serrated, heat-treated saddle ensure a secure grip and easy operation, making it ideal for lifting tractors and other heavy machinery for maintenance and repair. The wide, welded base and reinforced oil reservoir minimise leakage risks, offering a stable and reliable lifting solution.

Equipped with an overload valve and adhering to the latest CE standards, farmers can trust in a product that prioritises safety. The hydraulic steel cylinder unit requires lower oil pressure to raise loads, reducing wear and tear and extending the jack's lifespan. With a capacity of 20 tonnes, a minimum height of 235mm and a maximum height of 445mm, this bottle jack is versatile enough to handle a variety of tasks. Whether adjusting equipment for seasonal needs, performing routine maintenance or conducting emergency repairs, the JEFJKBTL20W ensures that farmers can do so efficiently and safely.

Vehicle breakdown in farming is of course a pain, but it happens. Look for high power portable dynamo jump starters which will get vehicles moving again quickly. Jefferson Tools’ versions have been manufactured in the US and contain industrial quality switchgear and come as a heavy-duty steel case.

Weld fencing, tools and maintenance

The soldering and brazing gas torch and mapp gas kit is particularly adept at addressing the frequent need for repairing metal fences and tools and conducting general maintenance, ensuring the smooth operation of farm activities. The high-temperature flame produced by the gas torch, when fuelled by MAPP gas, makes it ideal for quickly and effectively soldering or brazing broken metal parts. Whether it's mending a break in a metal fence, which is crucial for the safety and containment of livestock or fixing a tool that's essential for the day-to-day operations, the torch kit provides a reliable solution that can withstand the rigors of farm life.

Store spanners, sockets and drill bits

One popular and practical favourite with farmers is the 25 piece combination spanner set, which can be rolled up and stored in a tractor or farm vehicle. Similarly, the 16 piece ½” deep impact socket sets and M2 25 piece drill bit set makes sure that you have every power tool accessory you need for tightening and loosening nuts, bolts and fasteners on wheels and engine parts as well as drill bits for the most common applications.

 Ladders and access

From repairing roofs to cleaning out gutters and installing lighting overhead in barns, there are a multitude of tasks for farmers that have them working at height. Having good access equipment is the key to working safely. Whether a fibreglass stepladder, telescopic ladder or scaffolding towers, the right kit will provide you with a safe, stable platform for working at height. Jefferson Tools’ Fibreglass Multi-Purpose Telescopic Ladder for example, seamlessly transforms between telescopic, extension and stairway configurations so you can use one ladder for a wide range of tasks.  

Light and heat

Appropriate lighting and heating are essential for the effective running of a farm, especially when keeping livestock or any arable product which needs to be stored or processed in outhouses. Jefferson Tools’ solutions in lighting and heating are developed with these demands in mind, whether they be in providing the assurance of sufficient warmth to livestock through the cold months or the lighting needed for early morning and late-night jobs. The company offers a good choice of mobile fans, space and infrared heaters to suit a variety of areas together with service kits which include spare nozzles, fuel filters, output, lint and intake filters, so all machinery can keep running for longer.
