Flextool celebrates a significant milestone this year, marking 75 years of supplying quality construction equipment to the Australian market. What began in 1951 as a small workshop in Collingwood, Victoria, founded by Robert “Bob” Miller, has evolved into a nationally recognised brand built on quality, innovation, partnership, and a steadfast commitment to the people who build Australia.

While Flextool’s history provides a strong foundation, the brand remains focused on the future: showing up for customers, supporting the trade, and continuing to raise the standard of supplying quality construction equipment.

To commemorate the 75‑year milestone, Flextool is embarking on a national roadshow in its custom‑branded van, “Bob the Van,” named in honour of founder Bob Miller. The road, the vehicle, and the journey itself form the backbone of the anniversary narrative. A tangible expression of Flextool’s commitment to being present, visible, and connected with the community.

The tour will activate in high‑foot‑traffic locations across the country, from car parks and new estates to well‑known local landmarks. At each stop, the team will engage directly with tradies, customers, and partners, bringing the Flextool brand to life in an energetic and highly engaging way, including the distribution of branded giveaways.
