Self Employed - Purchasing tools

Hi,

I have been self employed now for around one and a half years. I work in the IT industry and work mainly in education sector organisations.

My main role is dealing in the software side of things however I have recently taken on a number of jobs where I physically install equipment such as servers and racking equipment.

To date, I have claimed very much in terms of expenses other than fuel, mobile phone bill and a few other very minor items.

Would I be able to purchase the tools I require for these jobs and claim it as an expense? The tools would be solely for my work and would save me the embarrassing job of having to borrow items from premesis managers on site.
