  • Introducing the Haggle Zone — Make Us an Offer on Big-Ticket King Tony Gear

    Introducing the Haggle Zone — Make Us an Offer on Big-Ticket King Tony Gear

    This year, we’re bringing something completely new and genuinely exciting to the Wallace Heron One-Day Sale.

    For the first time ever, we’re opening the Haggle Zone — a dedicated area where YOU get to decide what you’re willing to pay for selected big-ticket King Tony items.

    Think tool chests, roller cabinets, premium kits, specialist gear…
    All on the table.
    All ready for negotiation.

    If you’ve ever looked at a tool chest and thought, “I’d buy it at this price…” — now is your moment.


    🔥 What Is the Haggle Zone?

    The Haggle Zone is a special “deal-making” area of the store where:

    1️⃣ We list select big-ticket King Tony items
    2️⃣ You check the already-sharp event price
    3️⃣ You tell us what you want to pay
    4️⃣ If it hits our mark —
    👉 You win the deal on the spot

    It’s bold.
    It’s fun.
    And it’s never been done before at Wallace Heron.


    🧲 Why We Created It

    We know our customers.
    You’re practical, price-savvy, and you know a good deal when you see one.

    You’re also not shy about a bit of banter — or about backing yourself when you spot an opportunity.

    So this year, we wanted to give you something big:

    • A chance to score a truly once-off price

    • A way to take home premium gear at your number

    • A unique event experience that sets our sale apart from anything else in the region

    This is not an online deal.
    Not a promo code.
    Not a clearance.
    It’s you, in-store, putting your offer forward.


    💥 What Can You Haggle On?

    We’ll reveal the full list on the day, but expect:

    • Premium King Tony tool chests

    • Roller cabinets

    • Full workshop kits

    • Larger socket & spanner sets

    • Specialist diagnostic or mechanical gear

    If it’s big, bold, blue-and-silver, and catches your eye — it might just be in the Zone.


    🎯 Tips for Getting the Best Deal

    Want to walk out with a new tool chest?

    Here’s how to play it right:

    ✔ Do your homework

    Know what the usual price is.
    Know what the event price is.
    Know your number before you walk in.

    ✔ Make a fair offer

    Silly lowballs won’t land — but sharp, confident offers might.

    ✔ Be ready to say YES

    If we say yes to your price, it’s yours.
    Same-day pickup.
    No freight.
    No second chances.

    ✔ Come early

    The best items move fast — and once a big-ticket item is gone, it’s gone for good.


    🥇 Why This Is a “Never to Be Repeated” Opportunity

    Once the event ends, the Haggle Zone closes.

    There are no rain checks.
    No online repeats.
    No extended sales.
    This is the only day you’ll ever be able to haggle on King Tony gear at Wallace Heron.

    Tradies, mechanics, engineers, DIY legends —
    This is your chance to score the kind of deal you tell your mates about.


    **See you in the Zone on Friday 12 December.

    Bring your best offer — and let’s make a deal.**

  • King Tony Winter Promo 2025: The Biggest Tool Deals of the Year Have Landed

    King Tony Winter Promo 2025: The Biggest Tool Deals of the Year Have Landed

    There are two kinds of winters: the ones where you hunker down… and the ones where you gear up.

    This winter, we’re doing the latter — and King Tony’s 40th Anniversary Winter Promo is giving us every reason to get moving. Whether you’re upgrading the home shed or kitting out a busy workshop, this year’s flyer is loaded with tool sets, socket deals, torque gear, impact sockets, and wrench kits — and they’ve gone and thrown in a massive prize draw for a Retro Beer Fridge worth $4150 while they’re at it.

    That’s right — spend just $50+GST on any King Tony product and you’re in the draw to win a fridge cooler unlike any other.

    But it’s not just about prizes. These limited-run bundles include serious savings and bonus items that won’t be back again — from Lego-style tool block sets to free socket kits worth hundreds. We’ve picked through the entire flyer and pulled out some highlights, but trust us — there’s a lot more waiting for you inside.


    🧰 What’s in the Flyer?

    The 2025 Winter Promo flyer is your go-to catalogue for workshop upgrades, mobile tech kits, and new-to-the-trade setups. Tool sets start from under $700 and scale all the way up to full 275-piece workshop trolleys and multi-drawer cabinets, all bundled with extras. You’ll find:

    • 🔩 Tool Sets from 152PC to 275PC

    • 🔧 Socket Kits across 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ drives

    • 🛠️ Impact Socket Sets built to take a hammering

    • 🔁 Torque Wrenches with pro-grade precision

    • 🔧 Wrench Sets in metric and imperial

    • 🚗 Automotive Puller & Bearing Tools

    • 🧱 Bonus King Tony Tool Block Sets included on many items

    Each of these has been paired with a limited-time special price, and in many cases, a free bonus tool kit worth $150–$400 on its own.


    🥶 Why This Promo Matters

    Let’s be honest — tool inflation is real, and the quality trade gear isn’t getting any cheaper. So when a manufacturer like King Tony puts together a promo this generous, it’s a rare chance to jump in.

    • You’re getting full workshop kits with serious bonus value

    • You’re buying once — not replacing cheap gear down the line

    • You’re covered by King Tony’s internationally certified build quality

    • And you could walk away with a Retro Beer Fridge worth $4150 just by shopping


    🔥 Featured Deals to Watch

    While there are dozens of deals in the flyer, here are a few standouts you won’t want to miss:


    🔧 King Tony 275PC Tool Trolley Set – $4155.00 + GST

    The ultimate upgrade: includes the SQUAD Super Large Roller Workstation, a complete 234PC metric tool set, and a bonus 40PC imperial socket & wrench EVA set. One’s on display in our shop if you want to take a look in person.


    🧰 King Tony 236PC Tool Set in 6 Drawer Box – $2678.57 + GST

    Perfectly organised for a busy workshop or service vehicle. Sockets, spanners, pliers, screwdrivers, hammer, and more — all laid out in a robust 6-drawer chest.


    🔩 King Tony 143PC Combination Socket Set – $692.86 + GST

    All your sockets in one go. Metric and imperial. Standard and deep. Accessories and adaptors. And it comes with a bonus tool block set for a bit of bench flair.


    🧱 King Tony Tool Block Bonus Items

    Most of the kits in this promo come with the Tool Diamond Block Set (Blue – Set B). It’s Lego-style, King Tony-branded, and makes a great conversation starter. Don’t expect to find them after July — they’re strictly while stocks last.


    🎉 The Beer Fridge Giveaway

    This isn’t just any fridge — this is a custom-designed, retro-style King Tony beer fridge, modelled like an old-school fuel pump and valued at over $4K.

    How to enter:
    Spend $50+GST or more on King Tony products during the promo period and you’ll be automatically in the draw. You can enter by:

    • Uploading your proof of purchase

    • Filling in an entry form in-store

    • Or by posting a photo of your purchase on the King Tony NZ Facebook page

    Every $50+GST = 1 Entry. Buy a full workshop setup? You’re going to be in there multiple times.


    🛒 How to Shop the Promo

    This promo is live now and runs through until 31st July 2025 — but we strongly recommend you get in early.

    • Many of the bonus items are strictly while stocks last

    • There are no rain checks once items are sold through

    • And if you’re shopping for a team, bundles are the best value you’ll see all year


    📦 Shop Online or Visit Us In-Store

    You can browse all the featured items right now through our website — each product has its own full write-up, detailed breakdown, and the bonus clearly listed. If you’re local, feel free to pop into the shop and see the display sets, chat with the team, or check out the fridge for yourself.
