History
KMS Tools follows a retail store format with an industrial sales staff for education and larger accounts.[2] Because of its large automotive enthusiast customer base, KMS has also run a Show & Shine out of its Coquitlam location since 1995.[3] In 2009, KMS Tools took over the BC operations of the bankrupt former House of Tools.[4] In addition to gaining a store in Langley, KMS opened its first stores on Vancouver Island.[5]
