Since 1919, Cornwell Quality Tools has been among the oldest and most experienced tool companies in the U.S.A. A network of franchise dealers has long provided professional technicians with the highest quality tools available.
These dealer entrepreneurs come from all types of backgrounds, not just those who have previously worked in the automotive or mechanical industries. Many who have started their business venture with Cornwell Tools are former members of the military. And thanks in large part to their experience, Cornwell Tools has been able to construct an innovative business model that puts their independent franchise mobile tools dealers on the right path to success.
Veterans Welcome – From Service to Success
For those that have served in the military, you have acquired leadership skills, discipline, work ethic, organization, and persistence to succeed in anything you set your mind to. Transitioning to civilian life can be challenging, but owning your own business could be the next perfect and rewarding step in your career. Your experience is highly valued. To show their gratitude to the veterans who choose to franchise with Cornwell Tools, they offer the Cornwell Veteran Incentive Program.
Many current veteran franchise owners have a large interest in tools, working on cars, or similar, however it is not a requirement to have any prior experience or knowledge in the industry. Cornwell Tools believe individuals from diverse backgrounds can successfully operate a mobile tool franchise. They offer a comprehensive training program to get you started on the right foot.

They proudly manufacture quality tools and storage equipment that’s built to last and make it convenient for automotive technicians and shops to purchase what they need, so they can spend more time focusing on getting their job done. Cornwell Tools franchisees have become the go-to source for these professionals in their communities, offering them the tools and equipment they want at competitive prices. Franchise owners provide excellent, reliable customer service, meeting the demand as they expand and manage all aspects of their tool truck franchise.
“As great as our mobile franchise is for dealers, it’s even better for their customers. They love that Cornwell Tools dealers come right to them, so they don’t have to take time out of their busy schedules to shop for tools,” said Andy Scott, Director of Sales. “Many customers are in the auto repair field, and when a tool breaks, they often need it replaced right away. They appreciate that their local dealer is just a phone call away and can quickly show up to their shop with new (and improved) replacements. They also see excellent value in dealers regularly stopping by to help them select new tools and equipment designed to get the job done.”
Financial Advantages For Veterans
Cornwell Tools stands out by not charging an initial franchise fee. For veterans, they offer the standard $80,000 initial inventory purchase with 0% interest to qualified applicants. The potential savings in interest alone over the six-year term, assuming all program requirements are met, could total over $35,000.
This represents a significant advantage for any veteran looking to finance a portion of their initial investment.
This saving helps veterans start their new careers on a strong financial footing, ensuring a smoother transition to their new roles.
Creating a Sense of Belonging for Veterans
For veterans, the sense of team and family is a cornerstone of their time in service. However, this connection can be lost once they transition to civilian life. At Cornwell Tools, they understand this need for camaraderie and provide an atmosphere that rekindles that sense of belonging. Their career opportunities offer veterans a supportive community that mirrors the values they cherished in the military.
Testimonials
“After spending six years in the Navy as an Aircraft Structural Mechanic, I had concerns about finding a team-oriented work environment. Transitioning into civilian life was a big change, and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find a workplace that felt as close-knit and supportive as the team culture I experienced in the military. However, when I became a franchisee dealer with Cornwell, I quickly realized that I had found exactly what I was looking for – a company that truly fosters a family atmosphere. I could not have done it without my wife, who is also a Navy vet. Together, we’ve navigated this transition, and her support and partnership have been invaluable as we build this new chapter. It’s been incredibly rewarding to be part of a team where collaboration, trust, and camaraderie are at the core of our work.” Teddy Herskovits, Cornwell Tools Dealer, Virginia
“After my transition from military life, I worked at several car dealerships. It was at one that I met my first Cornwell Tools dealer. After talking with him for months, I decided to reach out and see if a Cornwell franchise was for me. My wife and I sat down for dinner with who would become my District Manager, who promptly answered all our questions and potential concerns. There were two things that really made me start a Cornwell franchise – one, Cornwell was a family-owned business, and two, being a disabled combat veteran I qualified for an interest free loan. I have found my home, family, and my team. I am excited to grow my own business with the help and support from Cornwell Quality Tools.” Anthony Huggett, Cornwell Tools Dealer, Georgia
“After retirement from the US Coast Guard the transition to civilian life, and becoming a Cornwell dealer, was easier than I had expected. I found the same sense of professionalism, camaraderie, and family values I was used to in the service. The support from everyone, from the Cornwell Corporate Office to my District Managers has been vital to my success. I look forward to the opportunity to further my career in this company for many years to come.” Anthony Woodard, Cornwell Tools Dealer, Tennessee
The Cornwell Tools team is proud to have created a business model that ranks among the top available franchise opportunities for veterans. The team aims to make every new franchisee feel like they are a valuable part of the family and help them create a business venture that they can be proud to call their own.
