History
Time Motion Tools was established in 1983 and has since served and earned the trust of the most well known and respected names in the electronics and communication industries. Our parent company is WASSCO (www.wassco.com), a 46 year old distributor of production soldering material and supplies. Our product offerings compliment each other and allow us to fully serve the electronics industry with a wide array of products.

Over the years, Time Motion Tools has steadily become the prominent supplier of tools, equipment and information to the electronic, computer and communication industries. With a concentration on customer service, our goal is to make your buying process faster, easier and more informative. This focus assures we will continue to grow with our customers.

In the past few months, we have made major changes to our web site in hopes of creating a marketplace where our customers can make informed purchases 24 hours, 7 days a week. Our new structure has significantly reduced the number of processes it takes to order a product, thus making ordering over the web considerably faster and easier.

We carry over 6,000 parts in our 15,000 square foot warehouse. Our integrated inventory software system and automated carousels assure you get the products you order in a timely and cost effective manner. And as always, feel free to call us at any time to talk to a live sales representative who can answer your questions.
