Get ready for a successful return to college

Back-to-college season is the perfect time to make sure workshops, labs, and classrooms are equipped for hands-on learning. Practical experience is at the heart of every technical course, which is why we’ve curated a wide range of hand tools to support students and educators. From reliable pliers, screwdrivers, and wire strippers to specialist cable cutters and complete tool kits, colleges can easily access the right equipment to prepare for the term ahead.

As students return and start exploring new technologies, our range of 3D printers opens up opportunities for design, prototyping, and project work. Learners can also develop core electronics skills using dedicated test and measurement equipment — from an oscilloscope to a function generator — giving them industry-relevant tools from day one.

In the science lab, back-to-college preparation means having reliable equipment ready for practical sessions. Stock up on essentials such as measuring beakers, bunsen burners, and other trusted lab items essential for demonstrations and experiments. Meanwhile, budding engineers can dive into components like transistors, buzzers, or even explore automation and programming with robotic arms.

With thousands of products available, Rapid makes it easier for colleges to get ready for the new term — providing the right tools for teaching, learning, and innovation across every discipline.
