Gusto Tool Co secures investment for hardware production

Vehicle enthusiasts and motorsport professionals are the primary audience for Gusto Tool Co Limited, a Swindon-based business that recently secured an estimated £33k in funding. The capital injection brings the venture to a post-money valuation of approximately £425k.

The product range includes power and hand tools designed for both expert and DIY use. Beyond standard inventory, the firm offers a specialized clamp release tool specifically engineered for error-proofing in automotive manufacturing. This device aims to solve precision and reliability issues on the assembly line.

Founded in October 2025, the startup currently employs three people. The brand philosophy centers on celebrating mechanical moments and building communities around high-quality equipment for users who prioritize fair pricing.

The funding round was finalized with an allotment of shares in June, and the corresponding paperwork was filed in July. Online operations and community engagement are managed through the website at gustotool.co.
