Aviation MRO Tools Engineered for Absolute Precision
SAN Tools is a trusted reseller of specialized Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO) tools for the airline and aerospace industry. From repair kits to microstop countersinks, we supply precision-engineered tools that meet the demanding standards of aircraft maintenance facilities across the UAE and GCC region.
We've been doing this since 1987 — nearly four decades of sourcing, stocking, and specifying tooling for maintenance teams who can't afford a wrong part or a late delivery. Our quality management system is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and we hold working stock across three UAE branches so a rivet shaver, a reamer, or a repair kit component doesn't sit on a slow boat while your aircraft is on the ground.
Repair Kits
We provide customized repair kits that significantly boost your productivity and enable rapid, hassle-free maintenance and repairs. Each kit is configured to match your specific aircraft maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and ensuring you always have the right tools on hand. Tell us the job — sheet-metal repair, fastener installation, a specific line-maintenance task — and we'll build the kit around it rather than sell you a generic assortment.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Custom-built to your specifications |
| Application | Aircraft maintenance & repair |
| Contents | Drills, reamers, countersinks, stop countersinks per requirement |
| Case | Durable carry case with organised compartments |

Counterbores
Enlarge holes with ease using our highly versatile counterbores. We can custom-make counterbores designed to simplify your machining operations. Available in standard and piloted configurations for precise depth control, with pilot diameters matched to your fastener spec so the recess stays concentric to the pilot hole.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | HSS / Solid Carbide |
| Types | Standard, Piloted, Back Counterbore |
| Sizes | Custom sizes available on request |
| Application | Fastener hole enlargement, bolt head recessing |
Drills & Reamers
Get the increased productivity you need with our high-performance drills and reamers manufactured to perfection. Designed for aerospace-grade materials including aluminium alloys, titanium, and composites.
This is where most of our MRO business lives, and it's where we go deepest. We stock jobber and short-series twist drills to DIN 338 and DIN 1897 length standards, and machine and hand reamers held to H7/H8 tolerance classes — the difference between a bushing or bearing that seats correctly and one that gets scrapped at final inspection. Material and coating are matched to what you're cutting: uncoated or TiN-coated HSS for aluminium alloys and composite panels, TiAlN-coated solid carbide or HSS-Co for titanium and harder structural alloys where heat resistance at the cutting edge matters most. We carry genuine stock from established manufacturers including YG-1 (authorized UAE distributor for its solid carbide range), RUHI, and Dormer, alongside our own custom and regrind options for sizes that fall outside a standard catalogue.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | HSS / HSS-Co / Solid Carbide |
| Coatings | TiN, TiAlN, Uncoated |
| Standards | DIN 338 & DIN 1897 (drills); H7/H8 tolerance classes (reamers) |
| Brands Stocked | YG-1 (authorized), RUHI, Dormer, plus custom/regrind options |
| Sizes | Standard metric & imperial, plus custom |
| Application | Aircraft skin, structural components, composite panels |

Hole Saws
Whether you need smoother, quicker cutting, better heat and vibration resistance, or longer saw life — our hole saws deliver. Custom options available for specialised applications in MRO environments, including thin-wall panel work where a clean entry and exit cut matters as much as cutting speed.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Bi-Metal / HSS / Carbide-Tipped |
| Diameter Range | 14 mm – 152 mm |
| Depth of Cut | Up to 38 mm standard |
| Application | Sheet metal, aluminium, composites |
Microstop Countersinks
A reliable solution for countersinking applications in aircraft maintenance. Microstops allow unrivaled precision control over countersink depth, ensuring flush-fit fasteners every time. Essential for aerospace sheet metal work, where a flush rivet or screw head is often a pass/fail inspection point rather than a cosmetic preference.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Cage Material | Aluminium / Composite body |
| Cutter Angles | 82°, 90°, 100°, 120° |
| Depth Control | Adjustable microstop mechanism |
| Application | Flush rivet countersinking, aircraft skin panels |
Rivet Shavers
Designed for ease-of-use, comfort, and efficiency. Achieve the cleanest, most precise cuts with minimal effort. Our rivet shavers are the tool of choice for aircraft maintenance professionals requiring flush, smooth finishes on sheet-metal and skin repair work.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Pneumatic / Manual |
| Blade Material | HSS / Carbide |
| Speed | Up to 20,000 RPM (pneumatic) |
| Application | Flush shaving of installed rivets |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from maintenance and procurement teams.
What standards do your drills and reamers meet?
Our twist drills follow DIN 338 (jobber length) and DIN 1897 (short series), and our reamers are held to H7/H8 tolerance classes for a repeatable, aerospace-grade fit — the same reference standards used across our full Carbide Drills & Reamers range.
Can drills, reamers and countersinks be custom-made for a specific maintenance job?
Yes. Beyond standard metric and imperial sizes, drills, reamers, and counterbores can be custom-manufactured or reground to your specification, and bundled into a configured repair kit if your job needs several tool types together.
What materials can your carbide and HSS tooling cut?
Material and coating are matched to the job: uncoated or TiN-coated HSS handles aluminium alloys and composite panels well, while TiAlN-coated solid carbide or HSS-Co is better suited to titanium and harder structural alloys, where heat resistance at the cutting edge is what determines tool life.
Is SAN Tools ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. SAN Tools operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, backed by nearly four decades of hands-on tooling experience serving the UAE's aviation and industrial maintenance sector.
Do you supply certified aircraft parts, or just tooling?
We supply the tools and consumables MRO teams use to do the work — drills, reamers, countersinks, counterbores, hole saws, rivet shavers, and repair kits — not certified aircraft parts. If your procurement process requires airworthiness-documented components, let us know and we'll tell you plainly what we can and can't support.
How fast can you deliver across the UAE?
Items in stock ship same-day for pickup or delivery from our Dubai, Sharjah, or Ajman branches. Custom-built or imported items typically take 5–10 business days — we'll confirm exact lead time and stock availability before you commit to an order.
Can I get bulk or volume pricing for a repair station or maintenance facility?
Yes — we offer competitive bulk pricing for repair stations, maintenance facilities, and industrial buyers. Send us your requirements and we'll come back with a tailored quote.
Need MRO Tools for Your Workshop or Repair Station?
Send us your parts list or a spec question — we'll respond the same business day with pricing and stock availability across Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman.
