Is Katool a Good Brand?
Fair question, and here's the honest dealer answer. Katool builds CE-certified shop equipment and sells it without the legacy-brand markup, so a Katool lift or Katool tire changer typically runs a third to half less than the household names for comparable working specs. What you're not paying for is decades of brand advertising. What you are getting: heavy-gauge construction, mechanical safety locks on the lifts, replacement parts warehoused in the US, and warranty coverage in writing. We sell them, install questions land on our phone, and we'd stop carrying the line the day that math stopped working.

Where Are Katool Lifts Made?
Katool equipment is built overseas to CE certification standards and imported for the US market, which is exactly how the pricing works: you're paying for steel, hydraulics, and testing instead of a legacy brand's overhead. The part that matters day-to-day happens here: replacement parts ship from US inventory, and support is a phone call to people who sell and service this equipment, not an overseas ticket queue.
Warranty, In Plain Terms
Machines, tire changers, balancers, aligners, and A/C equipment, carry 12-month all-parts coverage. Lifts carry a 3-year structural warranty plus 1 year on all parts, with two scissor models running 12-month all-parts instead; every product page states its own terms. An optional 2-year extended warranty is available on any unit, ask when you order.

You've found it. The brand appears online as Katool, Katools, AutoKato, and Auto Kato, same equipment, same importer. Whatever spelling got you here, the lineup above is the full catalog we carry, and the phone number below reaches the same people either way.
Common Questions
Why is the Katool price the same at every store?
Katool sets minimum advertised pricing, so authorized dealers all show the same number. Where dealers differ is everything around the price: freight help, install guidance, parts access, and whether anyone answers after the sale. That's the part we compete on. Call (855) 498-2147 and judge for yourself.
Do you stock Katool replacement parts?
Parts ship from US-based inventory, pumps, arms, cylinders, consumables, so a down machine isn't waiting on an ocean crossing. If you're not sure what a repair needs, call with your model number and we'll figure it out together.
Can I pick up my equipment instead of taking freight delivery?
Yes. Terminal pickup is available if you'd rather collect your equipment from the freight terminal, useful when a residential delivery or liftgate doesn't make sense for your situation. Shipping cost still applies, but the terminal option gives you control over the handoff.
