About Core DIY

Your Trusted DIY Partner Since 2015

Core DIY has been Austin's premier destination for professional-grade DIY tools and equipment for over 8 years. Founded by master craftsman Michael Rodriguez, our company emerged from a simple belief: every homeowner deserves access to professional-quality tools and expert guidance to tackle their projects with confidence.

What started as a small workshop supply store has evolved into a comprehensive DIY solution center. We specialize in bridging the gap between professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts by offering commercial-grade tools, detailed project consultation, and hands-on training workshops. Our team of certified craftsmen brings over 150 combined years of construction and renovation experience.

We serve everyone from weekend hobbyists tackling their first shelf installation to experienced builders managing complete home renovations. Our extensive inventory includes power tools, hand tools, safety equipment, fasteners, and specialized construction supplies. Beyond just selling tools, we provide comprehensive project planning, technique training, and ongoing support to ensure every project succeeds.

Our commitment extends beyond individual projects. We've helped over 12,000 customers complete successful DIY projects, from simple repairs to complex renovations. We partner with local contractors, offer apprenticeship programs for aspiring craftsmen, and regularly host community workshops on essential DIY skills. At Core DIY, we believe that with the right tools, knowledge, and support, anyone can create something amazing.
