Man is a tool-using animal...
Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

A warm welcome to Classic Hand Tools We hope you enjoy browsing our selection of woodworking (and stonecarving) hand tools, books, DVDs, cabinetware and sharpening accessories. We have been selling these fine tools to cabinet makers, woodcarvers, woodturners, green woodworkers, musical instrument makers and more since 2004.

Many of the products we offer for sale are exclusive to Classic Hand Tools in the UK and Europe which means we are the only place you can find these tools this side of the Atlantic.

We do our very best to keep stocks high so you are not disappointed when you order. You are welcome to visit us here at our showroom in Suffolk where all our tools, books etc are on display.

Give us a call if you prefer to order or discuss a potential purchase. We don't bite and we don't hide behind annoying music and keep you waiting.

Our UK shipping rates are amongst the best you will find. We also ship to Scandinavia, France, The Netherlands, Eire, Germany, Italy and many other countries. We pass on our attractive shipping rates so you get the best tools delivered at the best price.

We also have a Price Match Promise to match any bona fide offer available to you.

Please enjoy browsing our site and we look forward to serving you. The Classic Hand Tools Team
