“If you want antique or vintage tools this is the place to go. I have had a fair number of tools from Steve and never been disappointed. The lengths he goes to get things right is amazing and the customer service second to none.”
“The plane I bought arrived promptly, and was very well packaged. The standard of workmanship that had obviously gone into the refurbishment of this plane was exceptional, and I am thrilled with my purchase! I shall be using this family run business again in the future. Many thanks!”
“I’ve just received the plane, and it’s in great shape and has obviously been very well refurbished. It arrived in a timely manner and was very carefully packed. I’ll be shopping with you again in the future. Many thanks!”
“Just received my woodcarving gouges. Fantastic service especially as I’m overseas. The tools are exactly as described and great care has been taken to get the best results from the tools.”
“I bought a "Vintage Boxed 0-1” Brown & Sharpe USA No: 8 Micrometer – Good Condition" and it's a great useable mic, beautifully made and well packaged and promptly delivered.
Thanks”
“I have bought several tools from Tooltique and I can honestly tell you that they are one of the best secondhand & antique tools shops out there.
The level of care and attention that they put into restoring antique tools is simply unparalleled by any other website or shop I’ve used.
If anything I’m a bit jealous, I wish I could restore old tools the way they do! :)
Whenever I need or want a tool I look at their website before anywhere else and if I’m not in a hurry I just wait for Steve to post what I’m looking for up for sale.
I really couldn’t recommend Tooltique more!

“Lovely Record No 76 plane in beautiful condition, taking super thin shavings right out of the box. And the price was only a little more than I'd expect to pay on the big auction site for something that still needs to be refubished. Probably not my last purchase!”
“I found Tooltique while searching the internet for long nose pliers.
I have just received a pair & I'm happy with the description & price.
I really liked the website and the ethics of the business of honesty and also of supplying quality used tools.
Highly recommended, I will recommend you to other people. Thank you.”
“Wonderful. Managed to get a No. 7 Stanley from Tooltique, you have to be quick and it's easy to see why. The plane has been beautifully refurbished and was ready to go straight out of the box. I couldn't recommend Tooltique more.”
“I have purchased many planes that Steve has refurbished and can honestly say each one has been superb and ready to go.
I’m a professional carpenter and I know quality in a tool when you Handel it and use it all you have to do is sharpen the iron in the way you prefer, we all have our preference in sharpening plane irons.
Steve knows his job and his planes, you won’t find better that I can assure you.

“Very happy with my purchases from Tooltique. I will keep coming back. Great customer service and prices especially for tools being refurbished and ready for use. Thankyou”
“Recently purchased two Record 130 sash clamp heads and 3no. F clamps. They arrived ahead of their estimated delivery, were very well packaged, and the condition of the 130s, I thought, was actually better than how they appeared in the photos. They were in excellent clean condition and the worm screw freshly oiled.........I didn't have to do a thing, and at a very fair price of £16 each. This was my first purchase from Tooltique, having only recently come across them. Not sure why their site hasn't been more prominent in the past when I've been searching for vintage tools, but now that I know where they are and having had a very good experience on my first purchase I will definately be back again. Tooltique clearly know their business and appear to take a lot of care with the gear they sell, which is very refreshing cos there ain't so much of it about these days. Thank you”
“Absolutely first class service, plane arrived with flat sole (couldn't fit any of my feelers under it) and sharp blade, shaved gossamer out of the box after adjusting the blade.”
