FAQ

Set Up An Account
Go to Westtool.com and click on the Register link in the top right. From here, there are two paths to setting up an account, depending on whether you have a net invoice accoint with Western:

1. Current Western Tool & Supply Customers: If you have a net invoice account, you can requeust a web account linked to your existing customer ID. You can locate the customer ID on a Western Tool & Supply invoice, so you'll need a copy of one of our invoices to complete this process. Click the link under "Current Western Tool Customers" to fill out the web registration form. You will need to supply your first and last name (no job titles or departnment names), your email address, the customer ID from the invoice, and type in a password twice and click submit. A Western Tool & Supply representative will locate your customer account and link the new shopper login to it. As this is not an automated process, it can take some time to process the request. If you did not supply a correct first and last name, you may wish to submit a second request, because requests without an actual contact name will not be processed.
2. New Customers: Fill out the form on the Register page. You must supply an actual first and last contact name (no department names or job titles); requests without an actual contact name will not be processed.
