SelectaDNA vs KYNEKT, Which Tool Theft Solution Offers More Protection?

SelectaDNA is a forensic asset marking solution designed to deter theft and help identify stolen property after recovery. It works by applying traceable DNA marking to tools and equipment, creating a forensic link between the item and its owner.

KYNEKT takes a broader digital-first approach. It combines ownership verification, inventory management, live GPS tracking, theft response, remote disable capability, and verified resale tools into one ecosystem designed to protect assets before, during, and after theft.

I started using kynekt after someone on site mentioned it. Wasn’t expecting much but it’s actually useful. Logged a load of tools in one go and forgot about it. Nice knowing it’s all there if anything goes missing I guess.

Im a carpenter, i have had tools stolen from 2 different jobs in the last two years. An expense i could do without. This app is a fantastic idea, well worth the money for peace of mind should it happen again

Every contractor has faced theft, and it’s more than the cost — it stops work and damages trust. From what we’ve seen, this product could finally bring real protection and accountability to our sites.

The idea of knowing exactly where our tools are at all times gives us real hope. If it works as planned, it’ll save us money, stress, and endless arguments with insurers. We’ve needed this for years.

Great app for protecting construction tools and other equipments. It also allows you to disable the tool if needed, which adds extra security. Simple to use and very effective—highly recommended for anyone in the trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

K|TRAK is a KYNEKT feature designed to help identify and manage registered tools. It links tools with verified ownership records and helps detect stolen tools if they appear in circulation.

K|Inventory is the tool management system within the KYNEKT platform. It allows users to register tools, organise equipment, store receipts, and maintain a structured digital inventory.

KYNEKT uses secure infrastructure with regular backups and monitoring to protect user data and ensure tool records remain available when needed.

KYNEKT helps reduce financial losses by supporting insurance claims and improving the chances of tool recovery. The exact amount saved depends on the value of the tools and the scale of the theft.

Businesses managing larger inventories can access scalable plans. For example, a business with around 100 tools may pay around £50 per month depending on the package selected.

Yes. The KYNEKT platform uses automated systems to read serial numbers and identify tool models. This helps users register tools quickly and build accurate digital ownership records.

KYNEKT is a digital platform designed to help tradespeople and businesses protect, manage, and record their tools and equipment. The KYNEKT app allows users to register tools, store proof of ownership, organise inventories, and report stolen tools quickly. Each tool receives a digital record which helps confirm ownership and supports recovery and insurance claims after tool theft.

KYNEKT supports both. Individual tradespeople can protect their personal tools while companies can manage large tool inventories across teams, vans, and construction sites.

Police and insurers require evidence that tools belong to the person reporting the theft. Without serial numbers, purchase records, or photographs, stolen tools are difficult to identify and return. KYNEKT stores this information in one place so proof of ownership is always available.

KYNEKT is designed for industries that depend on valuable equipment. This includes construction, electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, joinery, building maintenance, landscaping, engineering, and facilities management.

The mobile app provides the simplest way to manage tools. In some cases tool records can also be accessed through web platforms where supported.
