Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

The 2026 careers page lists openings in St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City, and Wisconsin.
Total Tool still advertises an 85,000-square-foot St. Paul distribution center and active hiring.
NEFCO’s acquisition strategy broadened Total Tool’s reach into mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors.

What critics are saying

NEFCO’s integration can eliminate duplicate corporate roles, especially finance, HR, and marketing, by 2027.
Branch overlap with NEFCO invites consolidation in St. Paul, Kansas City, and Wisconsin.
Total Tool’s brand already sits inside NEFCO, so standalone identity disappears if performance slips.

What makes Total Tool Supply, Inc. unique

NEFCO owns Total Tool, giving it 59-plus branches and next-day delivery across 28 states.
Its crane, hoist, rigging, rental, and repair mix beats pure-play tool distributors.
St. Paul headquarters plus Midwest distribution centers create dense service coverage for contractors.
