It was important for us to offer high quality drill bits at a competitive rate so we shifted our focus to offer the best Price / Quality ratio in the market. By comparing the quality of the drill bits to the price payable, Ruwag is unbeatable. We are proud to announce, that Ruwag is SGS – ISO 9001:2015 certified.

We focus on merchandising the stores of our resellers and offering excellent customer service. Ruwag does not sell directly to the public.

We thus have focused on educating consumers, including contractors, professionals, as well as DIYers, on which power tool accessory to use for which application. Ruwag aims to help consumers choose the right drill bit and to simplify this process to ensure an easy, fast, user-friendly experience.
