It’s the first time I am logging in – Am I a “Returning Customer” or a “New Customer”?
If you haven't already been to the login page it can be found here - Login - or by clicking the Account link at the top of the page.
If you have used Ozwide tools or MT Hire in the past, there is a good chance we have pre-registered your details to allow you to use our website as a trade customer. If that's the case, just enter your email address as a returning customer and request a new password - a temporary password will be sent to your email so you can login (it's recommended you change your password immediately on your first login).
From there you can see your customer account and can change or update any details or shipping addresses as required.
If you have never used us before - Welcome! Please enter your details into the New Customer section and click Register to continue.

You may have already used us previously for sales or hire.
If that is the case we may have already added you to the webstore data base and therefore your email may already exist.
If this is the case and you have tried to register a new account with us and receive a message like - Invalid Email. "YourEmail@server.com" already exists in our system.
