Nearly 20 years in the UK motor trade, made into merchandise worth wearing.
Where It Started
It started in a driveway, the way most things in the motor trade do.
Growing up, the garage was a second living room. Weekends meant helping dad work on whatever needed attention, and Saturdays meant standing trackside at rallycross or the Circuit of Ireland, soaking up a world that never really let go.
That world became a career. Nearly 20 years in the UK motor trade followed - car sales, running an independent vehicle sales operation, working alongside a skilled mechanic, and years of proper detailing. Along the way came The Garage Toolbox, a site built for mechanics and traders who need honest tool reviews.
Why Torque & Tin
Somewhere in almost two decades of trade life, one thing became obvious: most petrolhead merchandise is rubbish. Flames, checkered flags, and slogans written by people who've never changed a wheel in their life.
Torque & Tin exists to fix that. Every design comes from the same place as everything else we've built - real time spent under bonnets, at rally stages, and in workshops that smell like oil and coffee.
Built on Experience. Worn with Pride.
Whether you're buying for the mechanic in your life, the classic car owner who's spent more Sundays under the bonnet than in front of the telly, or yourself, after a week that's earned it - this is merchandise made by someone who's actually lived it, not guessed at it.
